    Summary of Application Experience

    Tips:
    1) Do well on the MCAT. It helps.
    2) Finish your personal statement and LORs before the application summer or at least before you get your MCAT score. Then just submit your AMCAS early in June with just your top choices. This would have saved me a ton of cash.
    3) Take a year off between graduation and matriculation. Though I didn't do this, I wished I had throughout the cycle. Writing lab reports on red-eye flights home is torture.
    4) Fly Southwest and rack up those rapid rewards.
    5) Act excited to be there. I think half of the applicants were on sleeping pills at some of my interviews.
    6) Go to Second Looks. I only went to USC's b/c I live nearby and it made me realize how important they are when making the decision. Scrounge the money up when that time comes.
