Brief Profile:
Hmm, a bit about me. I am a non-traditional student in that I have a bachelors in music performance, and have spent the last 10 years playing, touring, and publishing music. I decided, back in 2007, to return to school to become a pharmacist, but have since changed to medicine. I have been a pharmacy technician for over 5 years,
I have a lot of volunteer hours at a local hospital, and I am conversant in French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Additionally I am a U.S. Navy veteran.
Yeah, I am living the dream.

Summary of Experience:
This was a total robbery! The dean of the school wrote me a letter and hand signed it, encouraging me to apply to the school. After having done such, and completing the secondary, I get rejected for an interview! What a sham!
Summary of Experience:
You never know what admissions are truly looking for. I realize I have a low MCAT, but the other areas of my application were quite strong. I was rejected 2 weeks after I submitted my secondary, so I was at least grateful they didn't drag things out. Ironically, I received an interview invite at the Phoenix campus.
Summary of Experience:
This was the last place I was expecting an interview invite, but much to my astonishment, I received said invitiation a mere 3 weeks after I submitted the secondary application. Additionally, it seemed that this campus places a strong emphasis on life experiences, and non-traditional students like me. This was more than evident with the questions that comprised the secondary application. This is my first choice, as I live not too far from the campus, so hopefully I get in!
