Summary of Application Experience
Completed most secondaries in late August and early September. Retook MCAT in August '05 to improve upon April '03 score of 29S. Moderately pleased with new score, really wish my BS score hit an 11 too - would have been very happy then. Designated Maryland and Nebraska after getting score. Also added UVA, but that's probably a reach. Hoping for at least 3-4 interviews.
1/10 update - Of my 5 interview offers, 2 have come only after I contacted the school to check on my status. I think all schools should offer interview invites exclusively through e-mail to make things easy.
