Summary of Application Experience
Complete at most schools mid-end of October. Too many reach schools and OOS publics have put me in a hole. Also pre-med advisor said I should not fill out SIU (why, I have no idea, but I am regretting it) and I felt like Loyola secondary came back too late. While I hope not to have to go through this again, if it comes to that, I will certainly have my applications in by mid July at the latest.
