Summary of Application Experience
Tips for future applicants:
Apply early and broadly Keep busy in case you have to do it again Don\'t take things personally Post your information on MDapps because transparency is great Follow SDN school specific threads (but not too closely) US News Premium accounts get to see both # accepted AND # matriculated Have ideas for interim year (e.g. phlebotomy training is short, cheap and very helpful) Send interest/update letters to schools both after you submit secondaries and after you interview. They make a difference.
Summary of Experience:
