    Summary of Application Experience

    6/20/06

    Have my AMCAS completely finished, except for the schools. Have gotten LOR from 4 professors, and 1 MD so as to make the secondary process relatively quick, and am crossing my fingers for the MCAT. I feel pretty good about it but we will see. I am just hoping for that magic 30 or higher, and I think I will be pretty competitive then. Good luck to all those applying.

    10/6/2006...

    MCAT was not that great, but people have decided to offer me a lot of interviews anyway. I guess I am just getting lucky, and I am thanking the lord everyday for it. Out of the 6 MD interviews I have, I just hope that one of them will say yes!!! Good luck to all!!

    PENN STATE...I can't believe it. I am proof that you do not need perfect MCAT scores to get accepted and/or a 4.0. It can be done. Just apply early and write great essays. DOCTOR DOCTOR DOCTOR!!!! I also found out from USUHS...will be declining though. I can't believe I actually had a choice. I never thought I would actually be withdrawing an acceptance. Too cool. Looking forward to starting med school!!! OHSU has put me on hold, and I don't even care...I am gong to be a DOCTOR!!!
