@RasheedWallaceFan: take your list and research the city, campus, tuition, bar passage, employment by sector, etc.!!! it might help you narrow down your school choices
also don't pay much attention to the people on reddit. there's genuinely good advice but there's a ton of people who are just energy vampires (average reddit user)

Are the 7sage app requirements as far as essays go accurate? I would love to spend my summer preparing my applications but I dont want to waste time writing essays that wont be there. Is there a way to know what will be on the apps, or when those apps will be available to view? Or should I just focus on my PS and DS for now?
@RasheedWallaceFan: they were accurate for me, but school requirements change year to year and there's no way for anyone to know for sure
