Summary of Application Experience
it's been a long process, getting down to the end. barring the unlikely even of a penn acceptance, i'll likely be in madison next year. even though i'm almost no longer a premed, i figured making one of these profiles was kind of a right of passage. 5/15 though i haven't made it official yet, i'm going to choose Wisconsin. Going home is too tempting, and even with the scholarship at Penn, i'll save myself nearly 100K (before interest accrual) in Madison. Before that though, i'm deferring for a year to teach english in Madrid, screw around, travel on my tiny stipend, and completely inundate myself in Spanish. should be a perfect break before putting my nose to the grindstone for the rest of my life.
