Anyone applying ACS/SCC this year?' Figured we could start the yearly application thread.

Haha, many. Would definitely do medical school over again. Time will tell if I have the same feeling with surgery residency. I do wish I had lived more in the moment going through college/med school. You live and you learn, I guess.

10 years. In the time since I posted this I've graduated college (2015) and medical school (2019). Now a general surgery PGY-3. I remember posting this right the month before I started college. I was so nervous things wouldn't work out. Funny how fast time flies.

Update. Ended up retaking the MCAT and getting a more balanced score, I think a 32 again. I ended up applying to all the schools I mentioned in the post above. Ended up getting 4 interviews. Accepted at 3, wait-listed at 1. I graduated from the big state med school that Goro predicted I...

Depends on your application and the type of applicant you are. If you really want to get your application in as soon as you can, you can start pre-writing all of your secondaries. I turned my primary in July 1st last year (verified 22nd I think) and ended up with 4 interviews (3 accepted, 1...

How awesome was that package lol?

It just had me accept/deny the offer, nothing about a deposit though. Thanks all!

I'm pretty sure you can't establish Florida residency if you don't spend a year living/working in the state before starting school.

+1, I remember applying to Gtown for undergraduate and they set me up with a alumni in the region

Ahaha, wrong thread
