APPLY EARLY!!! BEFORE MID OCTOBER!!! DO IT!!!

to be honest and not to be bitter, but i suspect i could have gotten into some of my waitlists as a sept/oct applicant. i thought applying before the new year was sufficiently ‘early’ but looking back i wish had gotten my materials together over the summer. don’t get me wrong, i am THRILLED with my commitment to berkeley, but getting into another T14 with money, if only to negotiate with, would’ve opened up my options a bit more. cant complain too much though :)))

oh also: ppl on reddit and the other forums bitch and moan about KJDs. i was discouraged from applying in the summer and now i thank god i did apply, because the only work im qualified to do, government/public sector stuff, isn’t hiring right now. if you feel ready, go for it.
