True, albeit the rankings that will change within the next 2 cycles will IMO be between these 2 schools, Virginia, Penn, Georgetown, and Cornell.

Congrats Geneva! Haven't been on here in awhile so I didn't know you got into Harvard. Like you, I received a May 16th deadline, but as you know I am S>H and my view hasn't changed. Good luck on your decision!

Hey guys, gearing up to appy for this upcoming cycle. Have finished revising my PS and DS statements. Would anyone here (who applied this year with good results) care to look over and mark up my statements? Your assitance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
