Summary of Application Experience
Turn things in early, write a good personal statement, and prepare for each interview. Apply to a few reach schools, but unless you're from CA or are a borderline applicant, don't apply too broadly--you just end up making lots of difficult travel plans for interviews and spend hundreds (or thousands) of dollars that you'll wish you had back when its all over. Its a long, stressful, expensive process, so try to enjoy the ride whenever possible. Good luck to all.
