Summary of Application Experience
I applied to a lot of schools, but did it late and didn't finish the secondaries for many of them in time of the deadline. I submitted my application to most schools a few days before the deadline. I had 3 interviews, 2 waitlists, and got admitted at temple, but not until late July!!!!
I took the kaplan class, and thought it was useful, but i think the most important thing is to just practice. kaplan has a lot of practice problems, sample tests. those were very useful. The class pace was a bit slow.
DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!! It will be the death of you !
