Summary of Application Experience
Notes:
>Stats have been slightly fibbed (aka inflated) to preserve anonymity. Will be updating with accurate (aka deflated) information after application cycle.
>Received secondaries from all schools, but received UCLA's in early September (2 months later).
>Majority of my apps were completed by the end of July - early August.
>The application journey is terrible; I wanted to sprinkle some humor in an emotionally-draining, soul-crushing, self-worth questioning process.
