    Summary of Application Experience

    -AMCAS Submitted: 8/12 (Transcripts in June)
    -AMCAS Processed: 8/23 (FAST! 6 day turn around)

    -All schools are complete now, except Duke and UPitt, where I have decided not to send my secondaries.
    -Got my first interview invitation to University of Maryland SOM. It's ironic that the LAST school at which I was complete sent an invite FIRST.
    -Called Wake Forest 11/15 for status check and received an interview invite over the phone!


    2/2/06: I have now intervied at all of the medical schools. By personal preference, it's very difficult to choose between these schools.

    3/21/06: Yesterday evening, the Assistant Dean of Admissions for University of Maryland School of Medicine called me and told me I was accepted, and apologized for taking so long! Then, less than 24 hrs later, a VCU Acceptance! I'm holding these two until I get financial info, but I don't want to go to Temple, as both of these schools are higher priority for me. I am withdrawing today.

    NOTE: ALL WAITLIST NOTIFICATIONS WERE SENT BY xMAIL(Jefferson,Temple,Dartmouth,NYU) or by email(WAKE)
