Summary of Application Experience
Third time applicant. Hoping for better luck this time around.
7/15: TMDSAS has let me know that I will still be considered in-state for the Texas schools 7/21: Invite from UT-Houston for 8/22; pushed the date back to 8/29 7/30: AMCAS finally complete 8/1: UAB secondary, UK secondary 8/6: Louisville secondary 8/14: Tennessee, ETSU secondaries this week 8/20: Vandy secondary/interview on 9/11 9/2: UTHSC-SA interview invitation for 9/29 9/3: Texas A&M interview invitation for 9/25 9/22: Texas Tech interview invitation, scheduled for 10/1 (making one long trip to Texas) 10/21: ETSU interview invitation for 11/4 (may try to reschedule) 11/15: Texas A&M pre-match acceptance. Finally, I don't have to do this again! :) 11/26: UKY interview for 2/14/09 !!! So far away.. 12/29: UT-Houston pre-match acceptance. Withdrew my application from UKY.
Due to the way the Texas match works, I will have to accept one pre-match offer and withdraw my application from all other schools. I'll be taking the UT-Houston acceptance and, unfortunately, letting the Texas A&M acceptance go.
