any suggestions on the personal statement? just thought I'd throw that out there
 
I just wanted to maybe send mine to someone and see if they think it's to "story" or whatever

My suggestion is: write it well, write it fast, and send that application out the door ASAP. It's getting to that point in the application cycle where by the time you get your secondaries in, they'll be scheduling you for interviews around January or February. Make no mistake about it; if you don't get on the ball, you'll be interviewing for waitlist spots ONLY. 😕
 
Yikes, I agree...interviews are being scheduled well into November already. Some schools fill up by Christmas (Midwestern Chicago, for example)....get that thing done!!

MJ1878, I will see you in CA on 11/1.

IWILLBESOON---I sent you a PM. How did you know I'd be in Cali? My guess is the "Official Interview" thread.
