Summary of Application Experience
Well when I clicked submit on my AMCAS, I realized I missed the deadline for about 12/15 of schools I was going to apply to...I was consumed by the process of creating the 'perfect' app. I felt screwed at first, but it all worked out in the end as I was thankfully given a chance at several good schools. I am more than happy to end up at BCM. I wouldn't recommend my method/path to anyone. It was a whirlwind and I had to do a lot of explaining. The decision between Baylor and UTSW was very difficult and if you care about hearing some of my thoughts in weighing that situation, feel free to talk to me.
