Brief Profile:
The important thing in terms of my ECs is that I barely did any research. I did no lab-based research whatsoever, nor anything science-based. The only 'research' I did was a literature review on solutions to the nursing shortage. I did this under a sociologist.
What I did do: I worked about 1300 hours (for pay) doing patient transport for radiology departments of two hospitals; I volunteered in both a hospital setting and an Alzheimer's day-care center; I was active on my school's cycling team.
Also, note below that only schools with 'accepted' are places I've gotten in. Schools I'm waiting to hear back from are under 'rejected post-secondary' and those I haven't heard back from post-secondary are under 'rejected post-interview.' 'withdrew' will be for schools I declined interviews at, or withdrew before completing my secondary.

Summary of Application Experience
This is largely a crapshoot - I'll never be able to explain some of the stuff I and my friends have experienced. It's also been very expensive, but fun in terms of getting to see different parts of the country.
