Haven't posted in here since the very beginning of the thread (and have no desire to read 20 pages to catch up haha), but I think it is time to start following again
I finally started my application; its about 50% done. Definitely won't be finishing it until November (deadline is December) so that I can update anything I do before then.
Crunched the numbers and if I manage to keep my grades where they are this year I actually have a real shot at an interview for my school. Which is a pleasant surprise and is motivation to work harder.
Hope everyone starts hearing about interviews soon!
