Summary of Application Experience
I never imagined this process would drag all the way out to the end of May, but being accepted to Rochester was well worth the wait. I agonized over my decision between the other schools before hearing from Rochester, and had decided on Buffalo due to its cost and location. Rochester will be worth the extra money, however; and I think I will be extremely happy there.
