    Summary of Application Experience

    6/11/09 - submitted AMCAS. Waiting for the last transcript to arrive.

    6/16/09 - last transcript has arrived; all systems go! I hope.

    7/1/09 - Verified! Huzzah! Have Received GW and Columbia in the meantime and am almost done. Doesn\'t seem to be much of a point in submitting them until my committee letter is ready, though... guess I\'ll just ponder them a bit further, first.

    8/22/09 - all the secondaries have been in for a week and a half... so far one rejection... holding my breath for interviews.

    10/14/09 - haven\'t updated in a while. It\'s a bit depressing over here at the moment: rejected at Georgetown, VCU, and Boston. On hold at Penn State, GW, and UMaryland. 11 more to hear from. Good news? Anyone? Please?

    11/28/09 - Another update. So, a bunch of rejections, one interview, and I\'m on hold at Penn State (since forever), UMaryland, and UPenn. Here\'s hoping for a few more interviews... Sent out an update letter to Tufts (randomly chosen) to test the waters last week. Going to send out the rest today.

    2/20/10 - Waitlisted at my state school, another interview invite (for my other state school), so that\'s good - we\'ll see how it goes next week. In the meantime, rejections from Columbia and UPenn (not that I had a chance there anyway, but there\'s nothing wrong with dreaming, right?) I hear NYU is done with interviews, so we\'ll assume rejection there, too. Still on hold at Maryland and Drexel, haven\'t heard a thing from Temple, Sinai, Jefferson, Tufts, or UVA, despite an update later in late November and an in-the-area/update letter last week. Sigh. Come on, guys... it just takes one!

    3/17/2010 - Rough day - rejections from Temple and Tufts via email within a half hour of each other. Interview from Jefferson, which is going to be exceedingly difficult to attend but I can\'t really withdraw since I don\'t have any acceptances yet. Sigh. Here\'s hoping that one of those waitlists will work out...

    4/10/10 - So, another waitlist: high priority one from Jefferson. Not sure how good this actually is, though I guess it sounds marginally better than just a regular waitlist. Time to start sending more stuff to the waitlists, I guess... I\'m getting tired of this process, I have to admit.
