<p>Interview: It was amazing. The interviewer seemed interested and impressed the whole way through, and at one point joked “Are you sure you don’t want to apply to be a professor?”</p>
<p>Application submitted: January 1st, 9 PM or so. I had it ready at least the day before, but my mother made me wait to review it.</p>
<p>Decision: Waitlisted :(</p>
