Summary of Application Experience
Graduate GPA: 3.7 - Research master's in a biological field, included defending and writing a thesis.
Even though I wasn't feeling very confident about my MCAT, I decided to take a shot and apply to some schools that I felt were a good fit for me. Hoping someone will overlook my weak performance in physical sciences.
Have strong letters of rec, 5 years research, shadowing, clinical and non clinical volunteering, teaching, and leadership experience.
Secondary complete dates are when I received complete email from the school.
Summary of Experience:
Early rejection, after a clerical error that resulted in me receiving an accidental interview invite.... this really stung. However, my career goals don't quite fit with UW's current push for physicians that want to practice primary care or rural medicine.
