    Summary of Application Experience

    Do not take the MCAT until you are ready.

    SDN has a wealth of knowledge available to applicants; utilizing this resource.

    Take time on your personal statement and make sure to tailor your secondaries to each school to show them you are genuinely interested; it will pay off.

    Overall, I loved traveling around the country to schools and interviewing, it was a great experience. Make sure to save up money ahead of time so you can attend as many interviews as you can; you never know what school you might fall in love with.

    Good luck everyone,
