I got an interview after 16 applications (Boston)

It took 17 weeks, but I have a first interview on Friday. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have not been this excited in months. Any last-minute tips?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 12 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
