Where I'm at application-wise

So, I ended up applying initially to 9 schools: Washington, Oregon, Stanford, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Ohio State, Johns Hopkins, and Duke. All but Washington asked for a secondary application (no big surprise as I have no ties to the state). I have filled out secondary apps for everyone except Duke, Colorado, and Arizona, and hope to finish Duke within the week. I probably won't finish the applications for CO and AZ because they each want $100 to process the application, and I don't feel strongly enough about going to either of them.

I interviewed at Utah a few weeks ago and have an interview scheduled at Ohio State in late November. Unfortunately, they scheduled for right around Thanksgiving, so airfare is a little higher than I would like it to be. Oh well. One of my old roommates offered transport and a place to crash out there, for which I'm grateful.

Still just waiting to hear back from Oregon, Johns Hopkins, and Stanford. A post in the near future will talk a little more about my interview experience.

P.S. Anyone know of any good deals on airfare? What do you use when you are traveling to get the best deal? My interview is on a Monday morning--is a particular day or time most conducive to cheaper tickets?
