Summary of Application Experience

Finally, I don't have to do this again! :) 11/26: UKY interview for 2/14/09 !!! So far away.. 12/29: UT-Houston pre-match acceptance. Withdrew my application from UKY.
Due to the way the Texas match works, I will have to accept one pre-match offer and withdraw my application from all other schools. I'll be taking the UT-Houston acceptance and, unfortunately, letting the Texas A&M acceptance go.
