Brief Profile:
Felt I should contribute after this has helped me so much!
Demographics random
We'll see where I am ultimately accepted, but I've been very lucky with interview invites. Just goes to show that applying a little later and having some blemishes on your transcript isn't the end of the world (I hope)!
...wow, I've been accepted to FIVE amazing schools and waitlisted at 3 others, any of which I'd be incredibly happy and lucky to go to! This is going to be a very difficult decision! If anyone has any opinions/advice, I'd be happy to hear it :)
