    The biggest value of my application is that my personal statement rocks the f\'ing casbah (I write much better when I care who reads it), and I have an extremely strong motivation for medicine following a life-threatening trauma from which I have fully recovered, and after which I turned my grades and life around. My grad GPA is 3.5 so far, and I have applied almost exclusively to MD/PhD programs.

    Summary of Application Experience

    So, because of my grades I mixed it up with MD only and MSTP, just to be safe. It looks like I\'m going to be a doctor next year no matter what.
