Sent transcript out to AMCAS/AACOMAS and to the schools directly which haven't rejected me yet. Sent some letters of interest out too, so hopefully I'll hear something.


Update: 03/04 Not a word from any of the nine pending schools, no rejections, nothing. Can't really expect much at this point. Oh well.

03/13: Friday the 13th. Four rejections in one day. Not a good day for premeds


04/11: Thought I'd finally close this out, what a year of apps, though technically I haven't heard from PCOM or CCOM. Its been long, expensive, tiring, boring, and just plain fucking tedious.

But its over. I've been accepted to med school. I'm infinitely happy that I decided to apply this year instead of waiting another year like I had originally thought. Damn, one year ago I was thinking that I was crazy to even try. Now its a reality.

LECOM here I come!
