Summary of Application Experience
I applied very late unfortunately due to taking the MCAT in mid-August, I wasn't really complete until late September. I interviewed at MSU in early October, but not at Wayne State till late March, and was eventually accepted off the waitlist at both. I really am blessed to have a few choices! Go Broncos!
