Brief Profile:
I'm an older and nontraditional student. Have worked for the past 15 years had to return to school to complete premed requirements. Did vey well with recent classes but my MCAT score was poor for some reason - unlike my practice tests where I scored high. Might have to re-take if I don't get in somewhere. Have lots of work and life experiences, which is a big plus. Shadowed MD's and DO at trauma center and family medicine clinic.

Summary of Application Experience
I am an older student applying to both MD and DO schools. I find that this application process is a total pain. I have got into my second choice for a DO school and am awaiting an outcome from my first choice. I still need to interview at a few MD school's and I'll update my profile to let you all know how that goes. So far though, I find the DO atmosphere and theri general philosophy suites me well.
