    Summary of Application Experience

    This is my second year applying.
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    App Cycle for 2006:
    April 2005 MCAT 27M
    AMCAS complete mid-Aug
    Apps not complete until 1/13/06 due to lost LOR.
    MCG interview feb'06; wl
    Mercer interview mar'06; wl
    Accepted to Mercer may'06. Declined offer with a great deal of thought. I visited Mercer as an undergrad twice and then for the interview. I didn't fit in well with students and the school. I didn't like the all-PBL curriculum, and I didn't like the waiver I had to sign that restricted what field I can go into. I decided to wait one more year and reapply. Could have been a bad move.
    --------------------------------------------------------------

    MCAT retook Aug 2006
    AMCAS complete 9/28
    MCG interview 11/15

    5/15: Withdrew from MCG. I am going to Wake Forest!
