Summary of Application Experience
I was worried due to my relatively low science/overall gpa, but there are many other factors that play into your application. So all I can say is to relax, study when you need to, and just ENJOY COLLEGE. You WILL be a doctor one day. :)
Also, apply as early as you can, it not only makes your chances better for rolling schools, but it will also decrease a lot of anxiety. I was accepted into 2 schools before winter break, and that is a very nice feeling.
