Summary of Application Experience
All of my applications were complete between late September through early october. Looking back, I thought that was really early, but with the computer MCATs I misjudged. Also, 34 is not that good anymore. I should've retaken. I think you need to have at least a 37 to even be taken seriously at most places. Overall, this was a pretty terrible round for me. 6 Interviews, 3 rejects, 2 holds that will likely be rejects, and 1 acceptance. Overall, this was really depressing and anti-climactic.
