Summary of Application Experience
columbia, penn, yale, brown were my top choices, but after interviewing Penn was far and away my top choice, the only school I was really holding out for at the end
didn't decide to be premed until end of sophomore year so I wasn't paying that much attention to my grades the first two years, upward trend with a 4.0 junior year
AMCAS in 5 days after it opened secondary turnover about one week - I regret that a lot and wish I had taken the time to emphasize research interest
most interviews recieved in july/august, columbia, penn, dartmouth interviews received in late oct/november
did about one interview a week, starting september, last interview ine early jan, i didn't realize it at the time but I'm a horrible interviewer.
it came down to brown/pitt and pitt just didn't fit right for me, and the admins at brown were amazingly nice, i loved the campus feel and the opportunities.
