Summary of Application Experience
This was my second year applying to schools. I applied to the same schools last year plus 2 or 3 more, and was not interviewed or accepted to any. I retook the MCAT in August 2005 and raised my score from a 22 to a 26 and worked in a job that had a public health component. I got my AMCAS in by July, finished all secondaries by October/November, and started interviewing in January. Accepted to first choice MCG in March. Best way to describe the experience is 'anxiety.' Best of luck to everyone!
