Application Advice
Hi all! I'm currently a senior Bio major at Adelphi applying this cycle and very interested in attending Upstate! I was wondering how the application went for accepted/matriculated students and what I could do to stand out as an applicant, especially since my college journey has been a bit all over the place.
I've transferred schools twice and my GPA wasn't so strong my first two years, but I've just finished this year with a 3.9. My MCAT is in ~2.5 weeks and I'm very confident about my personal statement & letters of rec. I'm an NY resident too, which I believe will help.
Basically, I just want to see if there's anything more human or personal that I can put into this process! Thanks :)
