Summary of Application Experience
Re-applicant after applying too top-heavy / not enough clinical / poor essays last cycle. My experiences are solid, but not outstanding by pre-med standards, and I have no clue how "good" my LORs were. I focused mostly on revamping my essays for this cycle, which again did not go as well as planned, but I'm very happy with the outcome.
Happy to answer any questions through DMs.
