Brief Profile:
People say that adcoms look at more than just gpa & mcat scores .... I'm no 4.0/45 applicant but I think I have some fairly decent and well-rounded experiences.
In a nutshell: . NCAA Division I athlete .. Variety of clinical experience (paid and volunteer) ... Molecular research (co-author & first-author pubs)
I applied to a boatload of schools because this process seems entirely random and you just never know ....

Summary of Application Experience
This process is a test of one's inner strength.
Do yourself a favor: apply EARLY. I had average stats so I applied broadly. It can be hard to predict how your primary & secondary apps will 'match' with each schools philosophy.
