Summary of Application Experience
I am so glad I never have to do this again! Everything about the process is brutal. I got a rejection from a school I never applied to!!!! Wayne State rejected me from their MD/PhD program. Not only did I not apply, but I also never applied to any MD/PhD programs! WEIRD.
The whole process is an exercise in 'hurry up and wait.' But patience paid off in the end. Glad I didn't apply to a ton of schools, it's just too darn expensive!
