Brief Profile:
I am very excited to get things started this cycle! I didn't go to the most prestigious school for undergrad, so my lower GPA is my apps weakest point. However, I worked all four years, my extracurriculars are top notch (at least, I loved them!), and I have a pretty unique story to tell. I would love to help anyone else out in any way that I can! My GPA's and MCAT are approximate (38-40, 3.6's and 3.7's) to keep a bit of anonymity. Best of luck to everyone, I can't wait to start school with you in 2014!

Application Cycle One: 06/09/2013
Undergraduate Area of study: Biological/Life Sciences
Summary of Experience:
Amazing facilities- brand new. The curriculum is the best I have seen. Brand new student run clinic. The hospital is not very large, and the global health opportunities are not perfectly set up. A great place if you want to be a leader and are motivated to pioneer/set things up. Overall, I loved this place!

Summary of Experience:
Lots of great programs- I am interested in the opportunity to go down to the border for a year. Big facilities, older but nice. Dr. Jones is awesome.
Summary of Experience:
This school definitely exceeded my expectations. I was very impressed with the new education building. Class is MANDATORY, but only 1-5pm the first year (8-12 second year). Mandatory as in, they take attendance. They do pass/fail/honors, so not exactly unranked the first two years, but the students claimed there was no competition. They all seemed happy. Living is cheap, and does it get any more beautiful than the wasatch front? Snowboarding, hiking, fishing, medical school - sounds good to me! Also, PAC12 now which is awesome.
Summary of Experience:
Amazing! Great global health opportunities and ways to get involved in community service. The 5 pathways seemed like a great way to tailor your medical education the way you want it. Beautiful area.
