    Summary of Application Experience

    Wow...looking at this list, I applied to a lot more schools than I submitted secondaries to. I guess when I started to see that I had options, I raised my standards. I could never make it in cities like Boston or Philly. I think my personal statement was why I got secondaries from some schools that screen, despite my numbers. I retook the MCAT in August and went up 2 points but my writing score went down (I'm sure no one looks at that anyway)...I'm putting all my eggs in the one basket that was offered to me. I'm extremely lucky because VCU is a school I really do want to attend (I guess it showed in my secondary).

    3/22/05 - Temporarily waitlisted at VCU until official waitlist is formed

    4/15/05 - 'Officially' waitlisted. Now, I just have to wait...

    5/13/05 - Friday the 13th! Best graduation gift ever! I'm going to VCU!
