I'm a URM. My application shows commitment to returning to my community to practice, including my personal statement and activities. And the school's mission statement aligns perfectly with my goals.

LizzyM ~67 (Non-URM)
I only applied MD and was verified very early.
Secondaries completed (All within 2 days of receiving): 18
Interview Invites: 9
Holds: 1
Rejections: 3
Hoping for some acceptances this week!!
Updating since it's close to the end of the cycle.
Ended up with 12 IIs resulting in 7 acceptances and 2 waitlists. Will most likely withdraw from both waitlists. I would have never thought my cycle would go so well. Much of my success is due to SDN and the advice of its members.
One and done. I like it!
Wouldn't recommend it though lol. The anxiety was like none other.
