Summary of Application Experience
A large number of schools did not give me any response. How rude of them after I spent $50-100 filling out their secondary application.
Anyway, I applied a little late in the process which certainly hurt my chances.
I think it is frustrating that you are expected to be applying to schools before you receive your MCAT results back.
