Summary of Application Experience
"Submitted" is the date I submitted the secondary to the school. "Secondary Complete" is the date the school marked me complete (some dates are estimated to within a day or two prior because there was no email or notification sent letting me know I was marked complete.
I submitted my primary application within a minute of the application opening and was verified in about an hour. I pre-wrote all of my secondaries and turned them around as fast as possible.
Summary of Experience:
Updates sent 10/28/2014 and 1/14/2015
Was surprised to get an II so late in the season. I knew the best I could hope for was a wait list. Not meant to be I guess. The cost and the location were the big driving forces behind me wanting this school.
Summary of Experience:
Would not be complete until got a DO letter. Opted for the "regular" decision, which means I would not have heard until after 11/17/2014.
