Summary of Application Experience
11/04 : Honestly, I was shocked to get any interviews. I am very committed to medicine and I will continue to improve my application, but since I didn't play the premed game in undergrad (and had a family tragedy b/4 my August MCAT), I thought I would have to wait another year to apply again.
