    Summary of Application Experience

    AMCAS submitted 10/15/04
    Secondary applications submitted from 11/15/04 - 1/10/05

    Notes:

    1. I made a big mistake in submitting my AMCAS application late in the admissions cycle. The best advice I could give an applicant is APPLY EARLY. I put my application at a big disadvantage by applying late (especially for a nontraditional applicant who had early academic trouble/red flags). I think I would have received more interviews and not had to sweat out the waitlist process as much if I had submitted my AMCAS in June.

    2. Given Observation #1, I am absolutely thrilled with how the process worked out for me. I will be matriculating at the University of Pittsburgh and am truly honored to be attending such a wonderful institution. I still find it ironic that Pittsburgh was the last secondary I received and completed.
