Summary of Application Experience

*About Me*
Im a traditional applicant from a public state school, I bet you cant guess which one. Took the MCAT in January 2018, trying to be on the early end of the cycle. My major is Biomedical Engineering, which is a little different than the super traditional premed, but definitely not unheard of (Im not a puppetry major after all).

At my state school for undergrad, part of a combined 8 year BS/MD program, but I have chosen to apply broadly, as the process for students in the program is no different than regular MD applications (MCAT, AMCAS, Secondaries, and Interviews all still necessary).

Hopefully those of you with similar stats can benefit from a full documentation of my experience in applying top heavy -- Youre free to dm me on SDN for more information, Im happy to help!
