Summary of Application Experience
All secondaries submitted either the day they were made available or the next day (I highly recommend pre-writing if you have time)
Sad about withdrawing here, but I originally had Stanford->UMich->UCLA all in the span of 4 days with no chance of rescheduling so I decided to place my bets on locations I think I would enjoy more than Ann Arbor. I'm sure I would have really enjoyed the interview here.
