Summary of Application Experience
Key for Above Symbols:
C-When I have received e-mail confirmation that my application is Complete. IO-Date of interview invitation I-Date of interview
I completed my primaries through AAMCAS and AACOMAS as soon as they became available. I have already sent transcripts to their services, and have collected all of my letters of recommendation through Interfolio, except one. I will eventually have 6 total from 2 science professors, 1 from pre-med advisor, 2 physicians, and 1 non-science professor.
Of course I'm a little nervous, but I believe that everything happens for a reason. Can't wait to see where I end up!...hoping for VA (in-state). May God bless me throughout this process!
