Summary of Application Experience
I applied from a small, not prestigious undergraduate state university. I enjoyed my experience there. It was noncompetitive, even among the pre-meds, and the success rate from my school is extremely high among those who apply every year. I'm thrilled with my success in being accepted to Michigan State and am more than satisfied. My only advice is to make sure you get your applications in as early as possible. I had to wait on my committee interview, so was not complete until mid-september.
