Summary of Application Experience
What can I say...
My MCAT scores are probably my only weak point in this application. I was scoring 30-32 on all practice tests. Guess I just freaked out on test day. Anyway, I think that's why my application hasn't gone further thus far.
Best advice is get everyhing in ASAP. Have that app into AMCAS within a few weeks after they begin accepting them. Turn in secondaries pronto and follow up to make sure the school's actually recieved them.
Pick a wide range of schools! Apply to some 'reach'schools, some shoo-ins, and a few in the middle. You never know what will come out of it!
Make sure you have a diversified application. It's pretty apparent to the adcoms when you're missignn something like volunteering or research. You need to have 'it all' in order to get that interview for most schools. So be sure to get involved on campus, play some sports, do some research if you can, become a leader, etc. They only add to your numerical scores.
Will post more updates as them come in.
