Thanks. I attribute a lot of my success this cycle to someone who had a similar experience a year before me. High stats, interviewed at a few schools the first time, and then reapplied with a ton of invites. I communicated with him a fair amount and it was definitely reassuring that being a reapp isn't that big of a red flag. I also think a lot of little things helped moreso than just having high stats.
I see you're a Buffalo local and you were waitlisted there. I think you're in a pretty good position. It's not like other schools where the waitlist has 500 people for 20 spots. I hope Mr. Rosso has some good news for you soon.
