    Summary of Application Experience

    I was an August MCAT taker so I completed AMCAS October 15, 2005 after receiving scores. I wasn't too happy with my MCAT but I thought it was good enough to go ahead with the application. I had studying issues since I was working full time.

    Another delay came when one of my letters of recommendation was not completed until mid December. I was almost certain that this was the final blow to kill my application. I did eventually receive an interview at MCG.

    MCG has always been my first choice and at this point my only choice. I'm holding on to the hope that I've got a decent position on the waitlist but part of me assumes that I won't get accepted. This has been really stressful and draining. On the bright side at least I'll have some experience at it when I reapply next year.
