Notes
Princeton wasn't on my list before I met with a rep for lunch. It was also my absolute first application (Literally there was a week between lunch and the application being due), and I really feel that messed me up. I talked about two POI who couldn't be more different, and I think they probably felt that I was scattered/just applying for the name. I should have picked one and made my personal statement fit him better. A little depressing cuz I have lots of contacts there, but it was the weakest/weirdest fit for me. I really just want to do applications, not theory.
