Summary of Application Experience
My philosophy throughout this whole process: Apply as broadly as finances (FAP in my case) allows. Why limit your fate when you aren't the one making that final admissions decision?
And this: "Vision and ambition attract rejection. No one ever achieved anything truly great without facing the constant sting of rejection."

Summary of Experience:
TMDSAS App submitted 5/31/2013. Rejected after an in-the-area email was sent 10/8/2013. Disappointed to get the first in-state rejection.
Summary of Experience:
Really bummed about this rejection - I have major ties to this city, and Pitt does the exact type of research I hope to continue doing. Was definitely one of my top 5 dream schools.
Summary of Experience:
Huge reach based on my numbers. Applied because of their appreciation of and reputation in medical ethics. Rejection disappointing but not surprising.
