Brief Profile:
English/Verbal has been a struggle for me for as long as I can remember. The only poor marks I received during grade school was in my English classes, and my SAT verbal score wasn't too hot either. My very mediocre 9 in the MCAT verbal is probably a reflection of that.

Summary of Experience:
Gorgeous campus and atmosphere. Really enjoyed interview day as they really strive to make it as stress-free and fun as possible for all applicants. Pretty sure I fudged up the group interview though...
Summary of Experience:
Matriculating! I grew up in Pittsburgh and the vast majority of my childhood was spent frolicking around Pitt's campus. This was, and still is, my dream school.
If that wasn't enough to convince me to go here, my family (and home) is 30 minutes away from the school, my SO is finishing her degree in Pittsburgh, and I was accepted into PSTP. I don't think the choice could be more clear-cut for me!
