Summary of Application Experience
I probably made history by only applying to one school, but its really the only one I want to go to (small class size - 72, and very affordable). My theory is that it probably doesn't hurt for them to know that I am very dedicated to gaining acceptance to their school. My current state of medical purgatory means that it would be futile for me to give advice, as I am not yet sure my methods will be effective, but my plan includes frequent updates and continued community service and work. I have been told that keeping your schools informed of your progress is essential, especially if your MCAT and GPA are not what you had hoped they would be. Good luck to all who endeavor to practice medicine, and have a great day.
