Summary of Application Experience
*One Final Note: Probably will not apply to many schools for both time and financial constraints; if I don't get in I'll take a year off to write my robot novel and play in an experimental minimalist band. I also realize this is quite likely, which is why I'm already working on a preliminary outline. Wish me luck (on the robot novel, or getting in, or both)!
