    Summary of Application Experience

    For all the schools I was waitlisted at and was interested in attending, I sent emails and letters constantly checking my status and showing interest in the school. I think this really helped me getting into my first choice school. If I had done that for interviews as well, I think I could have gotten a few more interviews. But since I got into Drexel in October itself, I didn't bother to put as much effort to get interviews at some of the school.

    My advice for future applicants is to apply early. I was done w/ the primary app by the first week of july and done w/ the secondaries by the second week of september. I think my extracurricular and recommendations were huge in my success in this process.

    Good luck to future MD applicants.
