Summary of Application Experience

Will be applying late in the cycle, hope it doesn't kill me. Trying to keep a wide range of schools because I don't know my MCAT scores yet. Total primary application cost = $1,000 *Ouch*

08/27 - Just got verified!

10/15 - So I got my MCAT a couple of days ago. I'm not thrilled but hopefully it will get me in somewhere this year. Waiting on the UC's for those secondaries, hopefully they'll arrive soon

10/16 - Sweet got a secondary from UC Irvine. My first post-MCAT secondary! :)

10/17 - UIC secondary received :)

10/18 - UCLA secondary!

10/20 - Oregon Health & Science Secondary

11/01 - Just submitted my last secondary, unless of course I get UCD and UCSF.

11/02 - UCSF secondary..how did that happen? Turned in the secondary the day I
received it

11/06 - Just added SUNY Buffalo, Stony Brook, Loyola, and EVMS

11/10 - Received UCSD interview invite via email!!!!!!!!!!! SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!! My first interview!

11/14 - AECOM interview!

11//16 - LLU interview!

11/18 - to remain anonymous, I have edited my GPA and MCAT. I will post up my real scores and GPA after the application process so people could benefit from my page.

12/17- GEORGETOWN!!!

01/22 - I had lost most hope for another interview invite, but GWU just saved me!!!!!!!!!!!

02/14 - Whoaaa out of nowhere just got VCU invite!

03/15 - FIRST ACCEPTANCE!!!!! VCU!!

04/01 - WOW I just found out my post-interview rejections at AECOM and Georgetown were mistakes!!! I got into BOTH of them!!!!! haha april fools =) Thinking back on how my application cycle has gone, I realized that I should have been more prepared for interviews. My last interview which was at VCU went REALLY well...although it had to do with my clicking with my interviewer, I could tell my interviewing skills were A LOT better than my first interview at UCSD. Anyways, I am really relieved that I have an acceptance (and at a school that I really liked) but I am still waiting on LLU and UCSD. If I can get into either of these schools, I can stay close to my family. If not, I have no problem with heading to Virginia. Here's to hearing from LLU soon and UCSD in the near future!

06/01 - This is one of the best days of my life!!! Just got accepted to my Number 1!!!!! I'll be at UCSD this fall!!!

06/02 - Thinking back, I wasn't very pleased with my results from this application cycle until June 1st. Now, I couldn't be more happy with where I will be going for medical school. It's funny how one school could change your entire application experience.
