Summary of Application Experience
This has been an adventure for me; I took the MCAT twice getting a 23 the first time and believing that medical school was out of my reach. I forged ahead and was able to bounce back with a 30 and land 9 interviews by the first week in October. My advice would be to keep on keeping on and be persistent. If you want it bad enough it's yours!!
