Acceptances:
WSU: C: 9/2/08, I: 10/13/08, A: 11/25/08 - Okay program in a run-down city, horrible class size, but clinical training is top-notch. Amazing hospital facilities surrounding school.
CWRU: C: 8/21/08, I: 11/10/08, A: 3/31/09 - Great facilities, opportunities for research, friendly faculty and staff. City is okay, but better than Detroit. Program, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Great match list.
