Summary of Application Experience
The application is the biggest test of patience ever experienced, and I still have several months to go. Everyone says to submit the application early, however, that doesn't mean that you will hear anything early. I applied to ten schools, submitted AMCAS in June, and have had one interview and not heard of status from others yet. One interview said I would hear between mid-December and March 15, so even though I have jumped the last hoop, I still know nothing! Good luck to fellow applicants. I think the process alone is a test of dedication!
