Summary of Application Experience

I ended up only applying to Osteopathic medical schools. On top of that I only applied to four schools. Probably a bad strategy for most applicants, but it work out for me. Only attending one interview, at my first choice school, and getting accepted quickly saved me a whole bunch of money.
