    Summary of Application Experience

    It's been an extremely fustrating application year. I'm an international student which has introduced a whole bunch of problems chiefly being my inability to attend interviews. The US consulate in Hong Kong (my residence) won't let me into the country until late February due to my recent marriage to a US citizen.
