Hi,
This is a pretty detailed WAMC post for this upcoming cycle. I am an ORM F with mid to high stats and good EC’s with a well-rounded story on significant family with chronic disease and how that led me to have a specific interest in disease management and underserved communities. I am not sure how many reach schools to apply to since I know my stats aren’t to par of T30 schools.
