<p>Here is a place where anyone who is reapplying for the fall of 2012 can talk about their previous application experience and where they plan to apply for next year. Feel free to share what you've learned from last year's experience and how your application has gotten stronger since then.</p>
<p>My advice: start early!!!
I started in December last year and, unsurprisingly, didn’t finish any application :)</p>
<p>Definitely try your best. Last year I slacked off a lot and ended up getting waitlisted at all six schools I applied to. And if you are reapplying, I suggest that instead of applying to a large number of schools (i. e. 6), choose your top 2 or 3 from last year so you’ll have a more concentrated focus on the essays. :)</p>
