    Summary of Application Experience

    Advice: get LOR early! I applied in July, but my appplication wasn't complete until the LOR came in, which wasn't until the end of September!!! The personal statement is HUGE in making decisions for non-traditional apps, so be sure to have it read over and over again. Try and find someone to 'take you under their wing' and help you along--I found someone to help and I think it has made all the difference.

    What's with all this 'on hold' business??? I guess its better than being rejected outright!

    12/8/04--OMG!! I'm going to be a doctor! My first acceptance! You've seen my stats...can you believe it!?! Keep the faith, boys and girls, it can happen for you too!

    12/15/04. Uniformed Services. Wow!!!!! Now I've got some thinking to do. HOLY COW--multiple acceptances!
