    Summary of Application Experience

    This is the unedited list of schools that I intend to sumbmit for AMCAS-I might just add a couple more later to make sure that I get in somewhere. I am currently writing my doctoral dissertation in Neuroscience while I job hunt and study for the MCAT in May. I will do my best to be one of the first to submit to AMCAS in June. I REALLY want to stay in CA for my MD--I'm getting married in Oct. and my hubby-to-be has his work based in Los Angeles. I pray that my efforts and hard work are fruitful!!
