I mean, I'm looking to practice in a specific market so I applied to one school below t14 (because regional pull is super real), but I get it. Might feel douchey, but you worked hard to be a top applicant, and the anxiety is... a bit much.

Whoa - not worth getting circumcised over. LOL

Let's talk about approximate timelines (for RD) here:
- complete --> UR1 = 1 month
- UR1 --> UR2 = 1 month

Is this right? I tried to look at the spreadsheet from last year but I think it has been resorted again and so the dates are not concordant.

Timeline didn't happen for me; complete to UR was about a month, yes - but my UR2 was a week after my UR1. UR2 to decision, however, has the greatest degree of variance.

Took about a week for me to go from complete to UR1, then about 6 weeks from UR1 to UR2.

Edit: Also an RD applicant, submitted late November.
