What's the difference between first review and final review? My stats are 3.3 science, 3.57 overall, 493 mcat, lots of leadership positions, 2 research programs/presentations, countless shadowing/healthcare volunteer hours. Submitted April 14th, got an email April 20th saying that my applications as being processed, never heard anything back so I reached out to Ms. Ballard and she replied on 5/11 that I was under first review. Is there like a final review after that and then the decision? Or do they just decide after the first review?
