Summary of Application Experience

I began the application process after receiving my BS degree. Things to note:

1) It's very expensive: $745 just for the primary applications, and it's gonna be another $1500 for the secondaries. I know I'm applying to a large number of schools, but it does not cost a school that much to look at my application, especially in the volume they go through.

2) Baylor was my top choice, so I canceled all but one interview following my acceptance there. Due to financial concerns at the institution, I am holding on to an acceptance at UT-Houston just in case, and am waitlisted at WashU.

Anyway, I had my transcripts in to AMCAS and TMDSAS on 6/10, submitted TMDSAS on 6/12 and AMCAS on 6/13 (just past midnight). I was verified on AMCAS on 6/24, TMDSAS on 6/25.

My GPAs are AMCAS 3.70/3.90/3.79 (BCPM/AO/TOTAL), TMDSAS is 3.78/4.00/3.87.
