Great advice. It's important to remember we are finite beings, so delving and lingering too deep in any application process is a travesty of lost potential and unexplored opportunities. The saddest part is you'll never know what could have been had you not been overly obsessed in propping up the most 'perfect' appearance.

Hey, Mike! Great and helpful discussion, you all. Thank you! May you bring Dean Blazer back on again, to discuss recent application changes and her predictions for this new cycle? (similar to your recent Dean Z interview). Thanks, if possible!

Any guidance on how to navigate explaining an undergrad transfer? Will this be something schools are especially curious about? Thanks for this great episode!

Does URM still play a role in scholarship estimations?
