Summary of Application Experience
Submitted my AMCAS 07/22. Was verified (08/13/09), then bombarded with 21 secondaries (still haven't heard from Drexel yet, as of 08/21). George Washington is my #1 choice as my sister is a master's student there and I loved visiting the campus and ha a positive experience with admissions. Their MCAT numbers are around mine as well. Second would be Jefferson and after meeting with their admissions director the program looks really awesome. Hopefully I can get an interview in the fall.
