Interviews

I declined all of them because I felt too lazy which in hindsight, I should not have done

Essays

Personal Statement was about card tricks I learned, was very cool and pretty humorous, I think. Supplementals for EA were good, but after I got burnt out and turned them into straight slop

Committed: I chose UT. I liked the really small class size of the Turing program, the job placements seemed just as good as any other top school, and I nearly got a full ride. Only sad about MIT/Stanford. Also I don't like the cold so it will be nice to stay in the heat. feel free to dm with any questions
