    Summary of Application Experience

    05/??

    Don't know where to apply yet, the above list is definitely preliminary.

    06/08

    AMCAS is almost done...ready to send out soon

    I am concerned about my school list and have tried to put in some 'safety'er schools. Comments are always welcome.

    07/05

    plugging away at secondaries + full-time job

    07/25

    same as above

    got interview at Pitt (though auto, it still feels nice)

    08/04

    got interview at Case (odd turnaround time/glitch)

    working on UNC and Nwestern now (both are due 08/10)

    Hopefully a (positive) interview decision from Chicago should be coming soon since others have been invited.

    08/09

    sweet, got an interview at baylor and its just across the street...no stupid plane tickets or hotels not to mention the interview day starts at noon and there is student get together at a pub too. sweet

    08/15

    well pritzker started sendin out interview invites again and I don't have a decision yet. I think I was put on hold (for how long, who knows?). Oh and I don't want to do the Duke secondary....

    10/17

    looks like im going to med school...I'm going to withdraw from mt. sinai, dartmouth, and georgetown (pre-secondary--yay to saving some money) and I will withdraw my einstein interview as well. Hopefully I hear from Pitt soon since I really liked it there (more than Case). Have UNC interview in two days and am chilling at home.

    10/27

    done with washu interview (probably top choice) and just got Pitt acceptance (i liked it there but it was my first interview so that affects things a lil). No more interviews scheduled...I hope harvard or penn contacts me but if not oh well, im content with the places I have interviewed and/or been accepted at.

    12/23
    haven't heard back from anywhere about anything. It would have been nice to at least interview at a harvard or a jhu but oh well. If i get a washu or baylor acceptance I'll be more than content with this whole process. Hopefully, one of those will come in january or febuary or march or april.....

    05/22
    goin to wash u.
