Summary of Application Experience
Many drafts and revisions of PS and activities statements in the 3 months leading up to June. Made list of 25 schools, then added 2 more later for a total of 27 applications
Secondary applications: most were completed and submitted around 10-14 days of receiving the secondary.
Summary of Experience:
Didn't apply here. Actually applied to Washington State University (Elson Floyd) but it's not an option on here. Received the interview, but declined after receiving other offers.
Summary of Experience:
Alma mater and dream school. Interview early in the season did not go as well as I think it could've. Felt like I botched the Why Medicine statement, and gave me a tough scenario to role play.
Summary of Experience:
Alternate list. I absolutely abhorred this institution and the city of St. Louis. I felt like I was in a ghost town the entire time. Interview was awful, and the interviewer was condescending in a subtle manner.
Summary of Experience:
First interview attended. School seemed nice, but it's geographically isolated. Medical students did not seem to particularly like it.
Summary of Experience:
4th acceptance! I loved my interview day here, students really love and are passionate about the school. I can't see myself going here though (unless offered some significant merit aid) as the Chicago weather is just too brutal for my liking.
Summary of Experience:
Located in one of the most underserved areas in America - North Philly. The students love it there and it was infectious. Will be hard turning down this one.
Summary of Experience:
Not UConn. I was accepted to Quinnipiac University, but it's not on here. It's also located in Connecticut though. Great new school, but will probably choose a different school over this one.
