Summary of Application Experience
Loved that I had the opportunity to visit medical schools around the country and most of the schools in CA. But I am tired of flying, too much waiting around. Though loved the fact that the SD airport had free Wi-Fi :) Overall, I am glad I don\'t have to repeat this adventure. My school choice came down between USC and Stanford. LA vs Palo Alto. Both are private and USC did give me a pretty good scholarship..hopefully I\'ll receive similar aid at Stanford. I am choosing Stanford for the breadth of opportunities, the curriculum, and the atmosphere. I simply enjoyed my time there.
