Summary of Application Experience
Going into the application process, having watched friends have incredibly painful and difficult experiences, I planned for the worst and applied to way too many schools. I guess it is better to be safe than sorry...
I added a profile because I found this website incredibly useful as I was applying.
My Advice: Apply early! Hope for the best Don't get set on any one school - there are so many great places out there Always stay with students when you can - I met some really great people Do some volunteer work. That always came up in interviews and is the thing that possibly hurt some of my friends in their application process
