Summary of Application Experience
reapplicant. Applying to some of the same schools again. Working hard this time around towards my grades, really didn't care too much in undergrad until too late. Hopefully better luck this time around. Last cycle I applied to 28 schools, submitted 18 2ndaries, some of them were quite late (october and november). This cycle, I have some of the essays mostly written from last year, so some recycling will be in effect, plan to submit all of these by august.
