Summary of Application Experience

Best advice: get everything in as early as possible, and then just chill b/c nothing you do will make the process go any faster. Work hard on your Personal Statement b/c they read these. Get stuff in on time when schools ask. Also, check out Pittsburgh b/c it is a really awesome school with great staff and students.
