Hi, Congrats on Yale thats amazing! I am applying next year and we have really similar stats (3.3 172 black female). I was wondering if you had any advice that you could give me. Also, if you still have it would you possibly let me read your PS. I can only pray that I would have half the success as you on your cycle.

wow
