Summary of Application Experience
Keep in mind that I did not bother listing the 15 or so schools that I got rejected from.
I am a reapplicant, so there are two pieces of advice I would give any applicant:
1. Apply early. 2. If you are reapplying, make sure there is significant change in your application (i.e. a higher MCAT score, improved GPA). Taking one extra science class or a new volunteer gig is not going to do it.
Also, just have faith that it will all work out in the end. It has been a long journey for me, but in the end I know it was all worth it.
