Summary of Application Experience
It was so much work, but gets easier as you write more essays. I got to the point where I could copy and paste my writing. It really helped to get my thoughts together for the interviews. So far, I have had a very positive experience. I was accepted at SLU, USC, and Case Western (in that order) Right now, I am going to USC (Keck). I had a really hard time saying no to Case because the whole institution is phenomenal, but my heart is in CA. It would be way to hard to move across the country from my family and boyfriend of 5 years. I just didn't want to give myself that kind of stress. I just interviewed at Davis and absolutely loved it. I really could see myself going there, over USC. The location and mentallity of the school are more my speed. I hope I get in!
