Summary of Application Experience
The reason I applied to such few schools was because my MCAT is more than 3 years old. Among the ones that still accepted my score I only applied to those that did not have a very strong in-state preference and that I could honestly see myself attending which left me with around 10 schools.
I'm a reapplicant. What I did differently this year was applied more broadly, or as broadly as I could with the MCAT limitation. I also rewrote my PS.
Update 4/14/07
So I pretty much decided I'm going to Rush. I withdrew the rest of my interviews because I just didn't have the money to travel anymore and I am happy with Rush.
