Summary of Application Experience

Just like everyone would tell you, 'Apply early in the cycle!' As long as your stats are in the reasonable range, you should apply. Check with your university's career service center or student service center to obtain information on the schools that are realistic for you to apply to. Solid numbers are important only to get you to the interviews. If your stats (GPA or MCAT) are ridiculously low, then you should work hard on it to improve and reapply a year later.
