    10/10-UNE Interview
    11/1-UNE acceptance!!!!


    This was a long, hard process. I took the MCAT twice, took 2 classes while working full and part-time jobs, as well as being the main support for a household. I can't remember exactly when all of my secondaries arrived, but I was complte everywhere by 10/1. My UNE secondary came in Sept, I submitted 2 days later and was invited for an interview the next afternoon. I'm assuming I'll eventually get rejections from all the MD schools, but who knows when. I withdrew my application from Touro-MI, though I think it's a great school. UNE is great for both me and my better half.

    For all those who have low GPAs, it can be done. Don't give up!
