    Summary of Application Experience

    Retaking MCAT 7/13 (Friday the 13th!), Expecting 28-31.

    Also have undergrad pre-med committee interview that day.

    7/16: Interview went well, we'll see about the MCAT. Not feeling too good about it. :( LOR's should go out this week.

    8/16: Got my MCAT scores... 26N 10/8/8 Bio actually went down! I felt hopeless. I feel like a lost cause. But I know that if I don't apply I really don't have a chance.

    8/27: I really wish I hadn't waited so long to submit my secondaries. Obviously waiting until after the MCAT didn't really pay off too much. :( Some of my friends already have interviews at UofL (eek!). I'm just ready to get this show on the road!

    10/1: So I'm getting a little anxious now. My status at UK has said 'Interview(s) to be scheduled' for almost a month!! And UofL is just completely messed up. After last weekend's 'Interview: Confirmed, Oh wait! Just Kidding!' status, I don't know what to expect. I recognize that Cincinnati is a tremendously long shot, so I'm just kind of writing that one off.

    10/1: Guess I spoke to soon! Just got back from practice and found an interview invite waiting for me!!!

    11/15: That was the nicest 'non-acceptance' phone call ever... UK placed me on hold because of my numbers (big surprise). Hopefully that will turn into a top waitlist position in January. Seriously, she was so nice and supportive it was hard to be upset!

    1/24: STILL waiting on UofL. Beginning to lose hope. But actually kind of looking forward to some time off... :(

    2/6: First official rejection. Can't say I'm too upset though. Definitely saw that one coming. I'm just glad they let me know; Unlike some schools..... ;)

    2/14: Seems like all of my pestering the past few weeks might have payed off. Just checked my UofL status and it says 'Decision Notification Pending'. Hopefully something will come in the mail in the next few days because this round of waiting may be even worse!! Even if it turns out to be a rejection, I'm just glad to hear something...

    2/19: So I'm hoping that Louisville letter will get here today. I don't really know what to think. I'm expecting a waitlist because I feel like if they wanted to accept me, they would have done it three months ago. At the same time, if I get rejected I will be extremely upset because I honestly feel that had they reviewed me three months ago a rejection might not have happened. I know people with my identical stats got in, and I truly believe my interview went well. I guess we'll just have to wait a few more hours.

    2/19: I'm gonna be a DOCTOR!! Now I just have to hope that my entire family of wildcats doesn't disown me! :)

    4/24: On the way to my 'Congrats You Got Into Med School!' Banquet I decided to check my mail. Had a letter from UK informing that I would not be placed on the waitlist. This sucks majorly because my very-soon-to-be-fiance works in Lexington and we were really hoping to live together. But it's nice to not have to make a decision. I'm still a doctor in the end so it's all good.
