    Summary of Application Experience

    I've learned a tough lesson this cycle. The research I did and my school choices did not compliment my application very well. I'm still in the running at NYCOM, but the rest of this cycle has been vastly unsuccessful. If I am not accepted for the fall of 2008, my goal is to try to boost my BCPM GPA with some upper division sciences like Microbiology, Genetics, and Biochemistry. My BCPM downfall was really a result of taking on too much in too short a time period. My last semester at HES I was working full-time as a medical assistant and taking 3 classes (Orgo II, Phys II and Bio II). Next cycle I will apply early and much more broadly to improve my chances. Any advice or support is much appreciated.

    7/13/2008 - I am proud and privileged to announce that I will be a member of the NYCOM class of 2012! For all of those with less success this cycle, I wish you the best of luck.
