Summary of Application Experience
Just got my MCAT score, very disappointed. Wondering if I should take it again, was averaging a 35-36 on practice tests, with a low of 34 and a high of 37. Applying early, within the next week. Still working on the PS. Just got my first interview, I'm stoked. UTH let's see what you got. After shelling out so much money, it's nice to see an interview invite. Now it's time to step up and deliver. The waiting game after interviews has truly tested my patience. But, you can always engross yourself at work to get your mind off things. God is great! I've been accepted to UTMB off the waitlist with just 2 weeks left till Orientation. I'm so fortunate and I feel so grateful for this opportunity.
