Summary of Application Experience
So far just trying to be proactive with my application submissions and LORs. Called multiple schools and they indicated it would be okay to have LORs sent out before they sent out secondaries. My recommenders have been very supportive and I am hoping for an acceptance after being waitlisted last spring. My application for DO schools will be in around 4 months earlier and MD, about 2 months earlier.
