I cant believe what happened to me. When I read, " early applicants receive special consideration". I was like whoh. So I look at my DEADLINES for schools, Dec.31, Dec.1, Dec. 31. And im like ok, applying in August is 4 months before my first deadline. THATS EARLY, im thinking, way early. Turns out, im not gonna get Interviews until January, cause applying early is MAY/JUNE. DAMNITTT!!!!!!!!!!!
