At the end of the day, getting into a program is really dependent on a confluence of factors (many of them rather nebulous, like the notion of "fit") which the applicant only has a modicum of control over.

This was far more valuable than the "PhD preparation" session last week at my MTS program. Perhaps I should have gone to Candler after all? :) Very nice post.
