Summary of Experience:
Got a snail mail rejection letter..:( oh well...
Summary of Experience:
This was my first and quickest rejection but truth be told I would not want to go to med school at BU. Turns out, the feeling was mutual. Besides, all things work together for Good for those who love God..blessing in disguise :)
Summary of Experience:
Did not really like the atmosphere at this school. Plus, I am not crazy about living in NY so I am fine that I did not get accepted.
Summary of Experience:
Loved this place...very down to earth people. I also loved the people I interviewed with...I would be happy if several of these people become my classmates in the fall!
Summary of Experience:
This was my first interview experience and I cannot express enough how much I loved Dartmouth. The environment was so welcoming and friendly. The students seemed so content about everything the school had to offer. One student described the relationship she had with the school as \"lovey dovey.\" I don\'t know about you but I\'d be extremely happy to be in a lovey dovey relationship with my medical school. Anyways, with regards to the interview, I had 2-30 mins interviews. One was more conversational than the other. The interview questions weren\'t too tricky and I felt pretty good about it overall. Jesus is at work with the final say and I am so thankful for the opportunity I had to interview here despite my low mcat score. My God is faithful all the time!
