Summary of Application Experience
9/22/05 After much debate, I have decided to reapply. Many of you looking at this may say what the heck? Defered and reapplying?? 1) Iowa allows you to do this, I checked last year before I accepted, 2) you should be happy where you go, 3) I have personal reasons for not wanting to stay at Iowa and 4) I really want a combined MD/MA Bioethics which is more likely in Chicago where programs exist than at Iowa.
11/09/05 Finally complete at Loyola. Time to wait and see if I get an interview before Feb. I really don't want to play the waitlist game like last year at my top choice.....silly CCLM, I never did receive a rejection letter....if not I guess it will be Iowa, again.
1/06/06 After an intitial review, I have moved to the 'to be re-reviewed between now and March'. Looks like I will be attending another four years at Iowa.
