Summary of Application Experience
Words of Advice:
* GPA is not everything!!!
* Turn everything in EARLY! Turn in your AMCAS app no later than first week of July. Get all your secondaries in a week after you get them. Request your letters of rec ASAP and have them finished before the secondaries come in. LOR writers can take forever and slow up your process.
* Get a professor or someone who has familiarity with adcoms to revise your personal statement.
* Be yourself and be unique. Make sure that comes out in your app and interviews.
* Keep your sense of humor - it's the only thing that will keep you sane in this process!
