Summary of Application Experience
I'm going to MSU! That's where I've wanted to be all along for many reasons and I am so happy I got accepted. I screamed and cried and probably scared the woman who called to tell me the good news. Then it got even better in May when I was notified that I received the largest scholarship that MSU CHM offers! I was very surprised and very grateful. I have no doubt in my mind that I am meant to become a doctor at Michigan State.
Good luck to everyone else with this long and stressful process.
I took the August MCAT and waited for the results before submitting my AMCAS. Late applicants, you CAN do it! However, I would definitely advise everyone to apply early...the stress will be over sooner and you will have a better chance at many schools.
