What were your original goals

Get into at least several of my reaches. Be happy with my acceptances.

and did you accomplish them?

Yes.

What was the biggest challenge you faced while applying to your schools?

Keeping on top of all the deadlines, essays, interview requests, and actually doing out the applications. I left it all to the last minute and was SUPER stressed out as a result.

Did things turn out okay? Are you happy?

Oh yes.

Which schools were you admitted to? To which school did you commit? Is it where you expected/hoped you’d be?

I got into 3/4 of my schools. Only WLs were at Amherst and Pomona (but EW at Williams…) and the rejections were HYP (with a likely at Columbia…***). I have decided on Stanford; I had no idea where I’d end up and it’s funny that after imagining for so long what it would be like to know, that I actually do. I’m certainly pretty happy with the result and would say CC certainly helped me quite a bit. (Though of course it was also a great tool for procrastination. Yeah, I kind of have a problem with that.)
