Summary of Application Experience

8.22.05:
Just finished my August MCAT! I feel much better about it than I did after the April test. Awaiting interview at UT-Houston and other invites.

9.6.06
Just enrolled at LSU-Shreveport post-Hurricane Katrina! It's a nice school. I like it a lot! Got my Southwestern and UTMB interview invitations today! I like the track its going. I'm very excited about Southwestern. I think it has replaced Baylor as my top choice! Wish me luck!

P.S. my birthday is in 10 days!!!

10.14.05
Right now, i'm sitting at the Comfort Inn about to go to my UTMB interview and ecstatic about my MCAT score. I went up 5 points in 3 months! I am very happy and blessed!

10.24.05
Just got an email from Baylor informing me that I was invited for an interview for 11.18!!! Yay! This is my AMCAS first choice. I think UT-Houston is my TMDSAS first choice!

11.23.05
Twas the night before Thanksgiving...well, i'm sitting here pulling my hair out wondering about Baylor. The interview was decent. I can't tell either way (I had two faculty interviewers...no students). Thanks for the good luck wishes! Just because Baylor isn't in the match, it's weird knowing that the ball is in their court now. At least with the match, I feel like I'm choosing my path. Anyways...wish me luck and pray long and hard. ;~)

1.12.06
Just an email from Baylor letting me know that I have been accepted to their school! Yippee! My first choice!

1.17.06
Getting prepared for Texas Match and Vanderbilt interview! Weird...the pressure is lifted right now.

2.3.06
Got into Southwestern in the Texas Match. I will probably be going to Baylor. It is my first choice, and an absolutely great school! Glad this whole process is almost over. It has been a long road.

2.23.06
Got into Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. I will probably still go to Baylor. They are ranked higher and closer to home, but that may change depending on my boyfriend, who wants to go to Meharry Dental School. Yippee!!

5.9.06
Well, as the deadline approaches, though I made a decision to attend Baylor very early, I just sent my withdrawl to Vandy and Southwestern. I wish everyone the best who gets into my spots. I should've withdrawn earlier, but 'better late than never'.

GOOD LUCK ALL!!!!

6.17.06
I have just moved to Houston and I must say that I love it. I'm glad to get down here early and get ready to be a first-year. Thanks to everyone for their best wishes and I hope everyone has had or will have a good application season.

Signing off....
