Summary of Application Experience

I applied to a lot of schools because I am trying to match somewhere with my fiance who is concurrently applying to grad schools. So far we have two overlapping places, Ohio State and UCLA. I think it's gonna be UCLA - it's a better fit for my fiance, and of course is an awesome place for medicine too. I definitely do still have a crush on Ohio though - it was one of my first interviews and the students were so incredibly friendly and just so happy in general. I loved the campus and the atmosphere of Columbus, too. But it will be nice to be back home close to family and friends again, and I'm not complaining about the weather :)
