Brief Profile:
Worked for a few years in finance, came back to school to complete my degree, graduated with 3.8 gpa, 3.91 science. My old grades are from 10 years ago and dragged down my averages. I had to do a post-bach though since I didn't get in my first attempt - waitlisted at Columbia and Stony Brook - no acceptances out of 4 interviews.

Summary of Application Experience
Interviewing can't be game-planned for, you just need to be you and hope you and your interviewer connect. Numbers are important - don't think they aren't. I was arguably a top student during my time there and was definitely top-5 material, but my old numbers hurt me alot in getting in.
