Summary of Application Experience

I applied to both MD and DO schools a couple years after undergrad- needed some time off to get some bills paid off and take a break from school!

GRADES: Good, I think. Several withdrawals on my transcript that were explained in my personal statement and not even brought up at my interviews. Didn't turn out to be as big of a deal as I feared. Not my exact grades, for anonymity.

MCAT: On the low end of my practice test scores. I studied three months using the famed SN2ed method. First time, no retakes planned for this cycle, I want to see how everything pans out. Not my exact score, for anonymity.

RESEARCH: I did a couple of research internships in undergrad, and work as a clinical research assistant now. Although the research itself was only discussed in a couple of interviews, my experiences gave me a lot of perspective.
