Summary of Application Experience
Applied a little late in the process (primary sent early Sep, and most secondaries sent in by late October), with a low UGPA it is in your best interest to apply early. Despite my low UGPA my GPA in graduate school and experiences in graduate school were beneficial to my application. If you know what you want to do with your graduate degree and experiences in the medical field, it can definitely help you out. I was accepted to my state school, University of Wisconsin- Madison, and will be going to school there starting in the fall of 2007.
