Sorry that I don't have anything of substance to add to this thread, so I'll be brief:
Thank you for the most excellent summation on the topic! This distillation is what I was basically looking for when I came here. You have come a *long* way in the short time you've been here, and this should be of great help to the ones that come after us. You clearly stood on the backs of some giants to gain this info!
The only two things I'd like to see added somewhere is a discussion about what happens when you're ready to apply. I am unclear; when you send them your transcripts and pay the fee, are you locked in? What happens when you send to the Big Three simultaneously? Can you just pay basically an assessment fee and then, when you select the one best suited to your path, pay more and proceed with them?
Second - I'd like to see the cornerstone / capstone concepts fleshed out. What exactly does one do to accomplish that?
Thanks again for your informative post!
