Summary of Application Experience
I am pretty much only interested in DO schools, and in the southwest. I am a long shot with my gpa, but my MCAT is ok for DO schools, so I just decided to go for it. I sent my primary in late july, (used Essay Edge for my PS) and secondaries (did personal statements on my own) in October. I interviewed for Touro Nevada in mid January, and got in later that week.
