Summary of Application Experience
I probably applied to too many schools. BUT! The 3 schools thus far far that have offered interviews were very different from one another...2 out of state schools, 1 in-state. So, I guess variety is good. The schools I thought I was going to get interviews at, did not offer me any. The schools that did offer me interviews were a happy surprise. UCLA was the biggest one. Although I think UCLA is a wonderful, reputable school, I doubt I could handle living in Los Angeles. It's just not my scene. I'm older, also, so I know what kind of town I want to live in, and LA is not one of them. My MCAT scores were low, even after re-taking them...what can I say? I'm no good at this type of testing. My grades, activities and me being a 'non-traditional' probably helped me in the long run!
