An incredibly expensive and gut wrenchingly painful application cycle. As you can see, I was rejected from every school with no interview invitations.
*04/17/10. My only real regret for this application season is all the money I spent.
*1/07/10. At this point I don\'t expect to receive any interviews. Mentally gearing up for the 2011 application cycle. Will definitely apply to DO schools.
*1/01/10. Still no interviews...
*As of 12/11/09 I don\'t have any interviews yet. Definitely feeling anxious about that.
*AMCAS application under review 6/3, finally verified 6/16.
*Submitted primary AMCAS application 6/2.
*Transcripts received by AMCAS 5/27 and 6/1.
*I am hoping to work in academic medicine/research and applying mostly to schools with a research focus.
