Summary of Application Experience
This hasn't been nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I've heard from all schools I expected, plus a few pleasant surprises. I was lucky enough to get an early interview and acceptance at Tulane and so I was able to be lazy and not finish most of the secondaries I originally intended to. I think my work experience and age has helped me a lot, it seems to come up in every interview so far.
