Summary of Application Experience
After averaging low 30\'s on practice MCATs in my three weeks of studying, it was very disappointing to score below 30. I was so confused about what to do until I talked to the dean at one of my top schools and he said I am competitive. If I do not get the acceptance I hope for, I will retake and reapply.
Please give me any feedback, or any tips to strengthen my application. Thank you for looking at my profile!

Summary of Experience:
SR:7/31/09 SS:8/13/09 C:8/13/09 Application in progress ==> Applicant in progress ==> Application in progress ==> Final decision has been made without an interview :-/.
I was able to call the following Thursday to speak with a counselor regarding my application: the counselor stated my MCAT was low and they can only have 20% of the class be OOS while they also saw a 20% increase in OOS applications.
Summary of Experience:
SR:7/31/09 SS:8/17/09 C:8/14/09 R:01/04/10 Ouch! No interview? Too bad they are not more OOS friendly. They tell you to refer to their pre-med handbook and self assessment guide.
Summary of Experience:
SR:8/6/09 Had the secondary ready, but withdrew due to limited funds. Disappointed I didn\'t submit it; I should have listened to a professor that said I should have a huge party (all 21+) to raise money for the application :-P
