Summary of Application Experience
It seems like after every step I was stressed out. Get AMCAS in, now have to wait for Secondary. Get Secondary in, now wait for interview, ect... I did EDP and the process was very smooth, no actual delays. GET MATERIALS IN EARLY. GET GOOD APRIL MCAT SCORE. Those a crucial. My AMCAS was verified in late June.
A little note about the interview: It is not easy. I reviewed multiple med. school interview books and felt like I was prepared for every question they could potentially throw at me. Not so. Have to be able to think on your feet. DO MOCK INTERVIEWS WITH FRIENDS AND/OR FACULTY.
Good luck to everyone.
