Summary of Application Experience
? - Reapplying here II: Interview Invitation
10/16/08 - First acceptance, Jefferson!!! Yay!!! Soooo happy because I really like the school. I did get waitlisted at Vermont, which was a little surprising I thought, but who knows, maybe I'll get in off the waitlist this time.
9/4/08 - Six interviews so far, wow! Didn't expect this, and certainly not so early on. Preparing for my first at UVM on Tuesday! It's not looking good for the four secondaries I have yet to complete....
7/29/08 - Almost August, trying to avoid secondary burnout. 15 down, 10 to go still. Would like to have finished all my received secondaries by July 31st, but that's not going to happen - I'm pretty comfortable with my pace so far, and will hopefully finish early in August.
7/10/08 - Committee Letter will be uploaded to schools tomorrow. My application should be complete next week at schools where I have already submitted secondaries. Crossing my fingers for interviews - if I get two, I'll have doubled my success from the last go around.
7/2/08 - Lots more secondaries coming in. I'm working on getting them done as best and as quickly as possible.
6/19/08 - Final letter of recommendation has been confirmed submitted to my school's pre-med office. Committee letter will be sent to AMCAS around July 5th. Still waiting on transcript verification.
6/16/08 - Submitted AMCAS - transcript has already been received, just waiting to be verified now. Wishing for good luck this cycle!
5/19/08 - Have most of AMCAS application filled out. Finalizing Experiences, School List, and Personal Statement.
3/3/08 - This seems like a good way to organize my application - such a long, complicated process!
