Summary of Application Experience

This is the second time around. Pain. Searing-hot, blindingly-bright, crap-your-pants pain. That's the only way I can describe my med school admissions process. And, yes, I do wish this on my worst enemy.

My second interview at NJMS, and it felt like this was the one. But, then I turn my back and they cram that waitlist letter in there. They have to learn to ease it in, like a gentleman.

I have never, ever heard anything from RWJ. I've never even seen it. And I went to Rutgers. I'm convinced my app checks are going to some evil CompSci freak on Busch Campus.

Unlike many, I have nothing bad to say about LECOM. They showed me love, so I'll love them back. Hot, sweaty man-love.

Don't believe in the PCOM deadline. They take your money and run, no matter who you are. They're dirty thieves, all of them. Philly's a second-rate city, anyway.

Not even an interview at NYCOM? You must be s----ing me. They should be kneeling to kiss my ring, not rejecting me.

Sometimes you really have to scratch your head and wonder what's going on. Should have applied URM as a Bavarian-American.
