Summary of Application Experience
05/08/08: Got words that I won't be able to get off Penn's waitlist. Officially Pittsburgh. 05/04/08: Withdrew from UCSF and Rochester. Hoping to get off Penn's waitlist. 03/26/08: Received Harvard rejection letter. 03/21/08: Haven't heard from Harvard MD-only program. Presumably rejection. 12/31/07: Waitlisted on UVA. Declined any further consideration. 12/12/07: Trying to put that Hopkins' debacle behind me. Hope for Penn. 12/10/07: Hopkins rejection: Disappointed, naturally. Declined MD-only consideration. 11/30/07: Columbia's Bard Hall is for the brave. 10/22/07: Accepted by Pitt on Oct 15th. Start withdrawing from schools. Rejected by Harvard MSTP on Oct 17. It still hurts like hell. Definitely looking forward to receiving *good* news from Hopkins (my first interview in Sept). Also looking forward to U Penn interview in January. Will have UCSF interview a week from now as well. Can't complain with my early acceptance at Pitt. It's a great school. Decided to travel up to Boston for that Harvard MD-only interview. 06/08/07: AMCAS certified 06/05/07: AMCAS submitted
