I was accepted to EVMS just after Thanksgiving.
Post-Bac and graduate cumulative GPA of 3.87 and a late summer publication.
I was out of school for 5 years before beginning my post-bacc and master's education.
I was very fortunate in this process and almost gave up on my dream. But I knew that I had more to offer, so I re-grouped, researched the application process, then pushed ahead with 100% effort and finished my master's and was accepted to med school all in 1 year.
I believed in the words of Pre throughout the process.
'To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.'
