    Summary of Application Experience

    I wanted to escape the Florida heat and was pretty picky about where I applied. I took a big risk by not applying to in-state schools (a poor choice in retrospect!). After the Wake acceptance I withdrew from a few schools but left the remainder open to see what would happen and got all rejections. I don't recommend the path I took, but I must say it worked out in the long run; I am very happy in Winston-Salem!

    *Didn't fill out timelines for apps. beyond being complete and final result.
