    7/29: Really behind!! Need to work on USC, UCLA, and Northwestern and finally gather the courage to submit Yale that I've been holding for A MONTH!!! Awful.

    08/14: Still behind.. Working on UCLA, Loyola (I should have known that one would be bad when they made me pay for it before showing it to me..), and Case Western. Very little love from the UCs.. Come on Irvine, Davis and San Diego - I need you!!!

    09/08: Decided to withdraw from Loyola.. painful secondary, plus I'm not that big on Chicago. How do I increase my chances for LA/California schools??? Sending letters?? Is it too early? HELP!

    09/09: Interview invites!!!! First NYMC (9/3) and now Drexel (9/9) I wonder how I can take some time off from work/school to go interview at these 2 together?! Really excited though!!!

    09/28: UCSF interview eeeeek!

    11/26: Well, so far the only school I have heard NOTHING from is UCSD. Gave up on UCI, but they sent me a secondary yesterday... So strange, my last secondary was completed in August!! Guess that's something to be THANKFUL for!!! Now jsut excruciating months of waiting...

    5/09: Been almost a year! All in all a pretty good cycle. First interview turned out to be the school.. UCSF 2013!!!!
