Brief Profile:
Guess I am considered a non-traditional applicant. I graduated with a degree in Biomedical Engineering and have been working at a major pharmaceutical in drug development for the past 2 years. About a year ago I decided I wanted to go back for medical school, so I have been studying for MCATS and adding some ECs to my resume. Fortunately I completed all premed requirements as an undergraduate.
