    Summary of Application Experience

    Nine interviews done, and that should about do it. Interviewing is hard work, but very interesting to see how each school markets itself. It's like a dance where nobody knows who their partner is.

    UPDATE 11/10: My first acceptance! Just goes to show you, a 2.x GPA is not an insurmountable problem. It took about 14 years, but I'm in!

    UPDATE 11/22: So far, it's 3 acceptances, 1 rejection post-interview. Can't complain!

    UPDATE 12/17: Good news from cheese country. As of now, Wisconsin will probably be where I end up. Withdrawing from most of the schools I'm waiting to hear from.

    UPDATE 12/31: 1 for 3 for Virginia schools. Sorta odd considering my out-of-state acceptances. Oh well.

    UPDATE 5/10: All done! I'm pretty glad that's over!
