Summary of Application Experience
Apply early.
I strongly believe this impacts how successful your cycle will be. I was not verified until first week of September, and did not hear from a lot of schools until February, March because of that.
Apply broad, but smart.
Get the MSAR. I thought I knew for sure that I would get into schools with my gpa or MCAT range but I did not. You never know what may get an adcoms attention.
Diversify your ECs.
Check the boxes ( volunteer, shadow etc.), but make sure there is something you are actually passionate about so you have something to discuss at interviews. If you are genuinely into something it will show on paper and in person.
Get those grades up.
This is for those of you who know you need to work on this. If you are still in undergrad, you need to start right this moment. If you have graduated, get into an official post bacc do a DIY post bacc. You cannot undo the failures, but you can start again and learn from them.
There are so many other sources of advice here on SDN; forum posts, adcoms, peers, physicians. Use them. I could not have done this without what I learned from this site and the people on it.
