Summary of Application Experience

AACOMAS Submitted mid August, verified first week of October.
low GPA, high MCAT, lots of research, with publications.

Best of luck to my fellow applicants. This is such a disheartening, self-worth crushing process, but I hope we can all end up in schools that we will be happy in.

Biggest advice to future applicants: APPLY EARLY. I thought submitting my AMCAS in July was still early, but I think it may have really hurt my chances. Don't listen to people who say they still got II and acceptances to top schools with a late application--that is an exception to the rule!! Please, please, please, do yourself a favor and apply the day AMCAS opens in June.
