Summary of Application Experience
I applied to too many schools because I knew my stats weren't amazing. Turns out there are some schools that actually read your app and look at more than the numbers! I got 14 interviews with a 30 MCAT; three were at UC Schools. Don't believe that numbers are everything. Be sincere and passionate and that will get you a long way....
