Summary of Application Experience
Applied (pretty early) to 20 schools across the country. Interviewed at 8, withdrew pre-intreview from 5 or 6, rejected from the rest. Ultimately, 2 acceptances, withdrew 1 post-interview, 5 waitlists. No rejections post-interview! But also a low acceptance rate, so I\'m not sure if it means I\'m a good or bad interviewer. Just middling I guess. Interview dates are approximate.
