The hardest part of the application was to have 3 references/letters of recommendations, not the standard 2, and they all must have emails from a workplace to demonstrate they're working professionals.
Overall, I had fun with the writing prompts. They want to see your demonstration of your...

In general, it's pretty ok. If you planned, you can do it all. don't worry! But for my, speaking as someone with anxiety, it's being pretty stressful. I worry if what I did is not good enough and I spend the whole day checking my email to see if I get a interview.

This feels like a dream to even be able to say this but I have to make the impossible choice between two excellent programs, and I would really appreciate any input/insights into the specificities of the programs/thoughts/general feelings about east coast v west coast, any crumb of information...
Attending Columbia is my top choice. I've spoken with faculty and students alike and I cannot comprehend another school I'd rather attend. It's curriculum is great, faculty members are exceedingly joyful to talk shop with, and its based in an area closer to my friends and family. What's not to...
