ohyou applied to WAY too many schools with your stats
and you are NOT "semi-late"...
it's easier to give advice if you state your complete list...What i meant by "semi-late" is that hopefully, my committee letter will be in by mid-August. And I've read that that is kind of late in the cycle but not super late. This is what I am most worried about. I did apply to plenty of private schools! I have family all over the country so moving is not an issue for me.
