Summary of Application Experience

10/26/05 I've been complete at most schools for nearly 1 month...it is total torture waiting like this =(

11/10/05 Well, in the past week I've gotten 3 interview invites. Hope there's still more coming!

11/16/05 I realized that during this application cycle weekends are long and I look forward to weekdays when invites were more probable. I've got my first CA interview today and I'm totally excited. UCI, here I come =)

12/24/05 So far I've been to three interviews: Creighton, Temple, and UCI. After a bombardment of rejections, I was seriously starting to sweat. I didn't want to repeat the failure I managed to pull off last year, but alas, good news finally came my way. I was accepted to not one, but two medical schools in a span of 5 days. This has got to be the best christmas gift I've ever received. So far the list is Creighton and Temple. There's is nothing else I can ask for. I can finally say that 'I am going to be a doctor!'

1/5/06 I got a UCSD invite today! Yeah...it was starting to worry that UCI was the only CA school that would only consider me...luckily UCSD has done the same. The interview is in three weeks!

2/3/06 So today I decided to check all the status pages of the schools that I haven't heard from yet. UCLA happens to be one of my dream schools. I was checking the page with no expectation and then BAM...I saw lots of words...beside interview and transcipt was the word 'requested'...that means i'm getting an interview, right? the date happens to be today's date, so i guess i checked at the right time...this is so so awesome!
