Summary of Application Experience
This is my second time around. Last year I had applied with an MCAT score of 23R, this time it's better. I'm one of those people who feels she is forever branded with the scarlet letters: GPA! I'm trying to stay as optimistic as possible..and applying to 45 schools helps me stay hopeful...and broke!
Submitted AMCAS: July; today 8/4/07 - still being reviewed! (stupid transcripts...) - waiting for secondaries
