An acceptance to the medical school of my dreams? PRICELESS!
5/9 I had a great weekend in SF meeting my classmates and officially withdrew from UCSD and Michigan. The long and arduous process is nearly over! I will be attending UCSF.
3/9 Declined Northwestern, Pitt
3/3 Ai ya! Northwestern too. =| Kinda crazy now. I should really start WDing and freeing up spots.
2/22 Holy Crap!! UCSF! =)
1/23 Decided to go on UCLA interview after getting the ideal day. Had a great time in LA. It might be a harder decision than I had anticipated ucsd vs ucla. Anyway, also withdrew from 2 more schools, UCI and Penn. The only 2 left for potential interviews are USC and UCD. I will probably withdraw from them by the end of the month.
1/9 Yay!! Dean Kelly from UCSD called and congratulated me on my acceptance to UCSD! =) I can stay here in CA and be near family now. Only one more school to wait for (as well as an interview in SoCal or two).
X-mas, New Years, my Birthday, and beyond-- I'll be waiting and hoping for good news about UCSD and UCSF.....
12/21 UCSF was great too. Amazing clinical and research opportunities. It just FEELS like an awesome place to be a medical student. Fingers crossed until February. On a separate note, I've decided to start withdrawing from schools I would not attend over UMich.
12/10 UCSD was great. It's a very happy and relaxing place. Plus, the free clinics they have are awesome. As much or as little clinical experience you want to really make a difference in the community. Now, off to UCSF this afternoon.
11/21 Persistance got my app reevaluated at UCSD and an interview. Thanks for the heads-up to send a letter of interest. They looked again and were interested!
11/20 #3 and #4 are in. I am truly blessed. My only question--- what happened to Baylor?
11/17 #2 acceptance is in. yay! SLU!
11/15 The news is in. I'm going to be a doctor! =) UMich!
11/6 Yay! I just got an interview invite to a CA school...... UCSF!!!
11/3 Chicago and Hanover are cold! Really nice hospital facilities at both Dartmouth and Northwestern. I don't know that I really love the super rural or the super city atmospheres though. However, NW is in my top 3 right now with U of M and Baylor. Now I gotta schedule OHSU and BU.
10/24 Great times at Pitt, UofM, and Vandy. Wow. Nice presentations, facilities, faculty, student satisfaction, cities...
10/13/06 On Hold for interview at UCSD. That sucks. Big time. Don't even want to meet me? #s not high enough? not engaging enough autobiography?
10/11/06- thoroughly enjoyed both Baylor and SLU. Hopefully I'll get some good news in the next few weeks.
9/29/06 Just got Northwestern and Dartmouth invites. How am I going to schedule all of this? Withdraw from my 2 classes? I'm gonna be on the road for almost all of October....
9/19/06 Last secondary received--> UCSF and it's the quickest out!
9/18/06 First trip is planned Baylor and then SLU. Need to plan second trip Pitt, Michigan, and Vandy.
9/8/06 Woohoo! SLU and BAYLOR! =) It'll be a busy October. Hopefully my students won't mind too much if I have to find a substitute!
9/2/06 Third interview invite! Thanks Vanderbilt!
9/1/06 It'll be a long weekend of secondaries.... UC Davis, Oregon H&S, U Mich, UCSD are top on the list to finish.
8/24/06 Second Interview invite! Thanks Pitt!
8/23/06 I've been working on 'what makes me unique and will add diversity essays'. Also, worked on the 'moral and ethical dilemma' prompts. Up next- researching Mt. Sinai, USC, Cornell
8/15/06 First Interview invite! Thanks UMich.
8/14/06 Sent first secondaries out! woohoo!
8/11/06 AMCAS verified! Ready or not, here they come...
8/4/06 Secondaries trickling in- UChicago, BU
7/18/06 Just submitted. All my transcripts are waiting. Wish me luck.
6/20/06 MCAT scores posted--- so happy! Hopefully it'll give me a shot to stay in CA...
4/22/06 MCAT exam, version FH. Life can continue after 3 months on hold studying for it. It didn't seem TOO bad. Hopefully the curve won't be brutal though.
