Summary of Application Experience

*MCAT score - my second attempt (1st - 23 M)

7/15 AMCAS submitted
8/20 AMCAS verified
Early Sept. - Early Oct.: Secondaries submitted.

I was told by, at least, twenty people, including my school counselors, that I absolutely have no chance of getting into MD schools. They just laughed at me. I thought about applying to DO, but ended up not doing so. I just knew how much I wanted this and also knew that adcom would look past my numbers.

*Not URM, just typical Korean.

*People!!! Don't get fooled by SDF people. I thought applying in July and submitting my secondaries in Oct. was super late, but it apparently was not.

*Don't give up, look what happened to me.
*Apply to as many as you can afford...
