Hello Everyone,
I followed this thread pretty closely (and found it very comforting) while I was waiting for my results, but sadly was rejected last month so I have not been around much since. I can't believe ya'll are still waiting and while I do envy your position a bit because at least you still have a chance, I can't imagine waiting through an additional month of agony! I sincerely hope they announce very soon! I know I am still dying to see my rating sheets...
Anyway, I am primarily posting because I am already thinking about my app for next year (this was my first try) and I am wondering if anyone who won would be willing to share their strategy. I noticed a similar post a while back so if people have already done so then fabulous and I apologize for the repetition, but really I would be interested in hearing from as many folks as possible. Also, those of you who are still waiting or got an HM last year are welcome to share your tips as well since you have been more successful than me regardless of whether you win this year.
Any information on what you think the strengths of your app were, your focus on the essays, anything really would be awesome
