Hi Q,
Not sure how many categories I could fit into....
Over 30 when starting med school
Career change (academic biomedical researcher for 10 years to MD)
Slowly completed post-bac pre-reqs (many of mine were too old or never taken) while working full time (60-70 hrs/wk-- ouch!)
Along that same line-- creative ways to work in pre-med requirements for working people (?)
Advice on which schools to consider in your apps (incl. MD and DO) based on your total app profile (and how to make the best of your profile come out in the apps!!)
Uhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm, that about does it. Oh, maybe advice specifically for re-applicants including the categories above. I applied in '03 without success... and am now accepted for this Fall. I learned a lot from the whole process, and almost feel it's an obligation to share with people. I remember what it was like not knowing where to go and what to do next, since AdComs aren't always the best at being frank about improving your chances.
So, any of the established categories I would fit into, or any you think it's useful to make, just add me where you want.
