Summary of Application Experience
12/13/10 - well, its already mid december and I was complete at most schools about 2 months ago, so I'm likely not getting anymore interview invites. Kind of disappointed about the rejections/silent rejections from all of the top 20 schools except one (UNC), but the realistic part of me expected it. I'm just crossing my fingers now and hoping I get into at least one school.
This just goes to show that GPA/MCAT are really important no matter how good your EC's are.
