    I’m submitting CMS today. I honestly feel like it’s too late. CMS was one of the few firms that I felt like I had a shot at getting into, and I just feel like I’ve left it till too late.

    Hey, I’m rlly sorry for chipping in But a graduate recruiter once told me to never repeat yourself in an application form. So I would talk about your Extra Curriculars and stuff outside of work experience and academia. Best of Luck!
