Summary of Application Experience
The process has been great. I am very grateful for the schools who have been willing to give me a closer look despite my low MCAT score...I have a lot to offer, and 4 years of good school work with a difficult major (chemistry) should count more than one test day.
My two interviews so far have been great! Very relaxing.
