    Summary of Application Experience

    Well, it has been a long road indeed. After my first year of intense studying, stress, and financial loss, I did not get into medical school. Despite this frustration, I re-applied, took the MCAT for the third time (yuck) and this year I was accepted to Creighton! I am still awaiting the final decisions from a few other schools, but I plan on matriculating to Creighton in August, as I absolutely loved the school!

    Hopefully, my profile will make a few other applicants more comfortable; not everyone gets a 30+ on the MCAT. Hard work and perseverance pay off more than one would expect. I'm very thankful for that.

    If you have any questions, feel free to pm me!
