1. Suppose I send in my primary AMCAS early June. How long does it typically take until I get a secondary back? When should I aim to complete my secondaries by?
2. I am currently working on my personal statement. I have a decent overall GPA (3.7) but my frosh and soph GPA was much lower (3.3) and I had to haul @ss to get it back up. The main reason I did poorly early in college was because I was bulimic. I'm not proud of it, but bulimia did mess me up GPA-wise. Now, should I ever talk about this to the med schools? I don't want to be seen as weak, but I know I will be asked to explain my GPA at least somewhere down the line.
