Summary of Application Experience
Broad range of EC's, but low PS score on MCAT. :( CA residents have it tough, so I'm casting a wide net & applying to a lot of schools. Right now still waiting for AMCAS verification as well as a couple of LOR's. I predict it'll really hit the fan in a month or so, when the secondaries avalanche me.
Update: 7/28 AMCAS just got verified!
Update: 7/30 AHHH Too many secondaries at one time! *hates writers block*
