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.
Summary of Experience:
The IQ groups seem cool, but they\'re not for me. Like the fact that students are split into houses Hogwarts style. Biggest turnoff were the other interviewees.
Summary of Experience:
Aside from the weather and city, this school really impressed me. Facilities are pretty good, students don\'t seem stressed out and the schedule allows for a lot of self-study. Also, a very good price if you\'re coming from OOS.
