Summary of Application Experience
11/15: First acceptances, everything else is just icing, baby. I'm going to be a doctor in 4 1/2 years!
My only advice for this horid experience: Don't let anyone tell you you can't do it. Right before I decided to do a post-bacc someone gave me this advice: 'If you're not doing it because you don't want to be a doctor, that's fine. But if you're not doing it because you're afraid of failing, that's bull****.' Truth is, you might not survive this process; but if you never try, then you'll spend the rest of your life wondering. And that's God's honest truth. The fact that I've had any success at all just goes to show how much busting your butt can get you.
