Re: [sibyline] What Have You Learned From the Application Process?

I echo your #2. After reading quite a few books and quite a number of poems, I still don't feel it was enough.
Furthermore (on the research front), I would have learned more about the funding situations at different schools. I don't think I would have applied to UMass if I'd done this. And I would have applied to Cornell.
There's just never enough time to research all the schools you would want to apply to if you knew about them. Had I had the time to learn, I also would have applied to JHU, Michigan, and a couple places in Oregon. I knew about these schools, of course, but I just didn't have the time to do the research I wanted on all the schools I was interested in *and* do a solid job of preparing my application for each school. So, I guess I'd stay "start researching 2-3 years before you plan to apply if you want the most bang for your buck."
It sounds like an insane amount of time, but I could have used it!
