Summary of Application Experience
i applied to WAYYY too many schools. i know 18-20 aren't out of the realm of what's considered acceptable, but i think i submitted applications to a few places (i.e. finch, drexel) that i knew i didn't want to end up at. of course, i had a very unexpected acceptance by oct. 15th, so that did change the way i looked at the application process by a lot. my advice--take the april mcat, do well, take your secondary essays seriously, and just sit back and enjoy the ride. it won't be as bad as you think :)
