Summary of Application Experience
03/26/07 - Waitlist at Penn. Just what was expected. Loved that school though. Now I'm going to Pitt for PSTP this summer.
03/22/07 - Acceptance to the PSTP program at Pitt!!! Most likely going there now. We'll see what UPenn tells me, but I'm expecting a waitlist.
03/12/07 - Snail mail rejection from Duke arrived today. Super upset about that one. I was really expecting a waitlist, not this. It's been between UPenn and Duke for my top choices (with the edge to UPenn because I like Philly so much more than I like Durham) so that made the potential decision much easier. Two weeks for Penn though!
11/21/06 - Just got home from WashU last night, and found Duke invite in my inbox this morning. Super excited about that, and I will be withdrawing from the rest of the schools I have not heard from yet in the next week or so. Interview season is almost done!
10/18/06 - ACCEPTANCE time!!! Both my interviewers from Pitt emailed me last night.
9/15/06 - First rejection (Mayo). Oh well.
9/13/06 - LOVED Pitt. Also received an interview invite to Dartmouth, but I can't make the dates listed, and they refuse to let me switch the date.
9/3/06 - Invite from Hopkins for 9/14/06. Need to reschedule since I have labs on Thursday mornings.
8/23/06 - I really want to be done with all the secondaries. Where are you Duke?
7/19/06 - First interview invite! Going to Pitt for interview on 9/11/06.
7/17/06 - So tired of writing secondary essays.
7/12/06 - Saw that I am complete at WashU and MCW :)
7/11/06 - Received my first screened secondary (Wisconsin)
6/22/06 - Final list of schools.
6/20/06 - Adding a few more schools to the list. Still researching a few before adding them.
6/19/06 - MCAT Score! Definitely was not expecting that one.
6/14/06 - AMCAS was verified!
6/10/06 - Submitted AMCAS this morning with these schools. Still waiting for the MCAT scores before deciding on the other schools. :(
