[Maryanne Mayfield]

I'm getting ready to Apply to caribbean medical school programs, and while I'm excited about taking this next step, I also want to make sure I'm as prepared as possible. I've gathered my documents, requested recommendation letters, and started working on my personal statement, but I'm sure there are things experienced applicants know that first-time applicants often overlook. If you've already gone through the admissions process, what advice would you share? Are there any mistakes to avoid or tips that made your application stronger and the process less stressful?
