Summary of Application Experience
I have not listed Canadian schools here yet. My GPA varies slightly because my school only uses percentages. The one I show here is calculated from the Ontario 'equivalencies' chart for Canadian universities. Still, I don't think it'll change that much for AMCAS.
I'm glad that 4/16 of the schools I'm applying to actually screen AMCAS applications before sending out secondaries.
Good luck everyone!
9/23 - Submitted AMCAS
10/10 - Still working on the very few secondaries received so far (AMCAS not verified yet)
