    Summary of Application Experience

    The entire application process is like a never ending, extremely expensive dog-and-pony show. Not only will it cost you a small fortune to go through the application process, but the grind tests your ability to withstand the emotional stress that comes with putting 'all your eggs in one basket'. In this case, the basket is a career in medicine.

    The one piece of advice I can offer is to say, never give up.
