Summary of Application Experience

What I learned from the interview process is to get your applications in early...I mean pronto! Also, AMCAS makes life difficult for those having foreign transcripts too. The interviews are all relatively easy except for those that last more than 30 minutes since I had two that lasted almost an hour! All in all, I got into a medical school that I want to attend, so I'm happy with where I'll be going for the next four years.
