Notes:

I applied to way too many schools in Round 2. I would advise to spread them over 2 rounds. Round 1 schools you definitely want to get into. Apply to Round 2 schools if you dont get into any schools are get waitlisted in Round 1.

Weighing all options, I made my decision based on program opportunity, location, scholarship, and the feel on campus and interacting with current and former students, as well as alumni. I couldn't really have made a bad decision, but definitely think I made the right one picking McCombs
