    6/15/09: Decided to add Mayo and University of Toledo to the list =]

    Mayo:
    Rejected on 7/20. Very sad night indeed. I think I would have enjoyed their program because it's very focused on primary care, and the students have early clinical exposure. Love the school but not the location though. I'm definitely a city person, so I don't think Rochester would suit me. Still, would've been nice to be given a chance.
