Summary of Application Experience
I only applied to 3 schools (above). I was unsure whether I did the right thing by applying to so few medical schools with my stats (mainly my MCAT), but I think that my EC's really helped me out. I included some of them to show other applicants that it IS possible to overcome a less than great MCAT score if one truly loves this field. I am so thankful for the opportunity that I have been given to live out my dreams. Good luck to all of you... don't ever give up hope!
