Summary of Application Experience
5/23/2008: MCAT. Thought it was hard. Really, who doesn\'t? Month later: Scores back. I\'m quite happy.
7/16/2008: Submitted AMCAS. Later than I was hoping. Start it early.
9/13/2008: Last week I finished all the secondaries I had available. (Still waiting for the shoutout from UCSF and Oregon - hopefully). I\'m in Madrid, so I\'ll be putting off all interviews until January. Wise? Perhaps not, but it\'ll be ok.
9/14/2008: First interview invite!! USC
11/04/2008: Marked complete at Oregon AND received the e-mail from mom that the Iove from Loma Linda (dated 10/21) had arrived at my house.
11/10/2008: Invited to Interview at NYU.
12/8/2008: Rejected at Columbia. It\'s kind of a relief, the waiting I think is much worse - if only the rest of them would hurry up and make decisions.
1/16/2008: My first acceptance at Loma Linda!! Yay!!
Eventually I was also accepted at Vermont and off the waitlist at Cornell. I picked Loma Linda. It\'s going great.

Summary of Experience:
I haven´t actually seen the letter...but I know it´s been sent
Summary of Experience:
They invited me on an interview, but I\'d already received my acceptance from Loma Linda and I was certain I would rather be there than Wisconsin.
Summary of Experience:
This school was an interesting departure for me from the style of the other ones and while my time was interesting, I wouldn\'t have gone even if they had accepted me. That said, they were really accomodating and helpful with lodging and rescheduling and everything, so way to go NYU.
Summary of Experience:
II: 9/14 - This was my first invite
I did not feel that my student interviewer and I were at all on the same page and that kind of hurt me. I liked the school, but I think it worked out for the best.
Summary of Experience:
I was invited to interview here in April, really late in the cycle, but I chose not to attend because, again, I\'d already been accepted somewhere I wanted to be.
Summary of Experience:
I was really impressed with this school, the interview day was fun, and saying no to them was the hardest for sure, but I grew up in Oregon, and I realized on my interviews I could never live for four years in NYC. Too bad, because I really liked them.
Summary of Experience:
This school was really great, I loved my interview experience, and it ultimately came down to here and Loma Linda, but I chose Loma Linda.
