Summary of Application Experience
The process is long and time consuming. The biggest piece of advice I can give is do not do any thing to make your self sound like a better applicant than what you are (interviewers are able to see though this). Do not do something with the mind set that this will make me look good on paper. If music interests you more than biology, major in music. If you would rather volunteer as a coach than at a hospital, choose to be a coach. You want a medical school to accept you for who you are, not for the things you have done. Do not let your application show you to be some one you are not.
