Summary of Application Experience
Applied once before for entering class of 2007, no interviews. At the same time, I had applied and got into 4 SMP/Masters programs: Loyola, Univ of Cincinnati, Boston Univ, and Case Western (just a plain M.S. in Anatomy). I attended the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine M.S. in Physiology program (SMP) this past year and performed very well, and compared to my first app cycle, it shows (2 interview invites and 1 acceptance so far).
*At the time of my application this year, I was still a California resident and therefore am applying to all schools as a Cali resident. Ohio schools seem to not mind Cali people, so c'mon out here you guys, since the UC's show us no love!
