DECISION: RPI/AMC

Reflection: BS MD admissions are really random and the students applying should not keep high expectations even with stellar stats. If you went through this process in high school, you are already ahead of the game and well positioned for what’s to come in 3-4 years. Do not feel disheartened if you did not get into any programs and its not a reflection of your abilities. Keep working hard and success will follow. Good luck to everyone here and future applicants!!
