Oops I forgot to email the rest of the info.

--Mailed app: on 6/26
--Committee Letter: mailed out on 8/16 (mind you, I had all my individual letters done by September 2000)!
--Complete: I don't remember the specific date perhaps 2 weeks after 8/16
--Interview :9/11

Stats: If there's a lesson to be learned, it is don't give up! I had many people initially telling me to think about a Plan B:

-- I started off rocky at Cornell (something like a 2.5 sci GPA, 3.4 Major GPA). Then I did the Harvard Extension postbac after graduating early (Sci GPA: 3.45).
-- URM status/ MCAT 9, 11, 9, N (29)
-- Clinical research (currently doing bench research right now for the first time), EMT, Medical Assistant volunteer positions...
