Summary of Application Experience

Only applying MSTP

4/9/05: I have decided to attend Vanderbilt's MSTP next year--this is a satisfying end to a long interview season. Now all I have to worry about is what to use my frequent-flyer miles on. . .

3/18/05: Words of (somewhat obvious) wisdom, especially applicable to MSTP admissions. If you discover a strong affinity for a program during an interview, let the admissions officials know. In my experience, it dramatically increases the probability of an acceptance.

2/4/05: Found an MD applicants profile that might be an interesting WashU admissions case study when compared to mine: http://www.mdapplicants.com/viewprofile.php?id=1759.
