    Summary of Application Experience

    First time around didn't understand the application process very well.
    Afterwards, called the admissions office to discuss the weaknesses in my application - I was reassured when I found out that my academics were the main thing holding me back, and worked on those, and ended up being accepted on my next application.

    Accepted
