Summary of Application Experience
Definitely apply broadly. Some \"higher\" (according to USNews) ranked schools like Case and OSU gave me invites while other \"lower\" ranked ones like Drexel rejected me pre-interview. When picking schools, don\'t sell yourself too short and don\'t be overly confident either. Also, you\'ll never know which schools you might end up loving. If you have the luxury, attend all your interviews and really give each school a chance for them to show you what they\'re all about.
