8-21 still waiting for amcas verification...
8-23 was verified today with one error -- sent academic change request.
9-9 Had a minor freakout and added six more schools. I think I'm dropping UMinn-Duluth and Northwestern. The Duluth app is too daunting and I don't care about Northwestern that much. I'm feeling a bit behind on secondaries after a move and starting a new job this week. I have to get on it! Right now, I haven't sent in a single secondary!!
10-7 think I've decided not to apply to McGill. Right now I never want to write another word about my desire to be a doctor again. I'm working on getting Yale, Case Western, and OHSU out the door. Also just realized that I'd never listed my recommenders on my Penn secondary (how that happened, I have no idea). Fortunately, my LORs were only sent about 10 days ago, so I don't think I lost that much time.
10-16 only one more secondary to go!
10-28 Submitted U of MN-TC -- my last secondary, unless I somehow get invited to complete UCSF. Also found my first interview invite on the Brown status page!!!! Very excited and kind of shocked -- I just got the complete letter (by USPS) yesterday.
5-15 After a looong application year, it comes to this. The painful withdrawal from UVM, my last acceptance. I'm going to Brown. This has been one heck of a process. I hope my experience can help others on their way. Good luck, all!
