Summary of Application Experience
Any comments are welcome :)
10/2/07: Scheduled the interview at AMC today, but no other invites for about a week now :-/ Hope I get some from the chicago schools!
10/8/07: No invites since AMC... my last three decisions have been two rejections and two holds. I don't like this trend :( No love from Chicago schools so far...
10/18/07: No change since 10/8/07. I feel like I've dropped off the map at med schools. I'm starting to wonder if I didn't apply to a good distribution of schools - a lot of schools I expected to get interviews at (aka Drexel, Wake, VCU, etc...) have either not responded or put me on hold. Very disconcerting. Also, waiting for Pitt's decision to come through snail mail is unbelievably frustrating.
10/24/07: Waitlisted at Case, MSU, and Pitt. Considering these are the first three decisions I've gotten, I have a very bad feeling about the rest of the upcoming season. I am simply devastated... I feel like I'm stuck in limbo here
11/21/07: Deferred at Umich till december, and likely waitlisted by Sinai as well. Um.... what is going on.
12/4/07: Accepted at Tufts! OMG!!!! And I thought I was totally screwed... :-/
12/17/07: Albany!
12/19/07: Waitlisted by Wayne... sorta surprised, but also not really: I think Wayne and MSU probably weren't impressed by my lack of community service :(
12/21/07: Deferred by Umich AGAIN to March!!! The suspense is killing me! Funny how I've been complaining about lack of love from chicago schools when it's really the michigan schools that hate me :-/
1/19/08: Rejected by Northwestern, not like I didn't see that one coming cause they had no action on my app since it was complete.
2/7/08: Well, that's all the interviewed schools. Now the only thing left is waitlist movement.
**Accepted to UPitt two weeks before matriculation! Woot woot! Will be going.**
