Summary of Application Experience
Random process... Wanted to go to school in socal, very happy to be going to UCSD. Icing on the cake when received the regents scholarship. Travelling for interviews is tiring and costly. Be as selective as you can when applying for schools. I travelled to too many schools I would not have gone too (ie - east coast and any cold weather schools). I was fortunate to have been in the very last interview group at UCSD and am very thankful for that.
