Theyellowfellow, congratulations on beginning your application. You are now an 'applicant'. Your file will now be reviewed by the Admissions office, and if you meet certain minimum requirements, you will be advanced to the candidate phase sometime usually in July. There will then be more for you to complete. Meanwhile, you should contact the office of your Representative and Senator to begin their application process. You should also be practicing for your CFA and maximizing your academics and ECs. Welcome to the rollercoaster ride that likely won't end until next April.
