Summary of Application Experience
I was a three time applicant and three time MCAT taker. To you guys who are applying, do your research. Had I known there were several options for me and my dismal MCAT score. Schools especially state schools, view MCAT and GPA's different some weigh more on MCAT, like TN, and others weigh more on EC's, science GPA, or cumm gpa. Do your research! I have now met people in a similar position that I was, who simply moved and got in school at a neighboring state. Another tid bit, if you don't read...do! It bit me in the back side, if I were to do it over I'd have picked up a minor in English or History. Something to think about.
