Summary of Application Experience
As of 11/29/15, my ranking for schools goes as such: 1. Penn/Columbia/Stanford 2. UChicago 3. Cornell/Mt. Sinai/Vanderbilt/UT Southwestern/Pitt/NYU 4. SUNY Stony Brook/Hofstra 5. SUNY Downstate Update 12/12/15 Sad to be waitlisted at Stanford, but I was kind of expecting it. Really hoping for good news on December 21 from Vandy and UChicago! Update 12/18/15 Completely overwhelmed today with three acceptances. I still can't process the Pritzker scholarship. Looks like I'm going to Chicago!!! I absolutely loved the school. So excited! Update 12/20/15 Withdrawing from NYU, Stony, Hofstra, Downstate, UT Southwestern. I will keep Mt. Sinai on the list. Update 1/28/2016 Accepted to Pitt!! Update 2/23/2016 WL at Columbia and Vanderbilt. Looks likely its going to be Chicago for me next year!
