Summary of Application Experience
6/4/08 - submitted AMCAS (first day) but 'app on hold for spring grades' 6/19/08- AMCAS put my transcripts into the system, 'awaiting review' 7/7/08- AMCAS processed 8/6/08- Secondaries and more secondaries and more secondaries... 8/20/08- I still have three more secondaries to complete. I decided to withdraw from about 5 schools. This is getting so pricey. Hopefully more interviews start coming soon! 9/04/08- More interviews! 9/18/08- My first interview is next week at one of my top choices. I've been gathering information, going through interview questions, and researching. Just have to remember to show them who I am. A little nervous. 11/25/08- I am going to be a doctor!!! I withdrew from a lot of schools once I received my UCSD acceptance. Now just waiting for my top 2- Pitt and UCSF. Crossing my fingers. 1/28/2009- Last week was tough. I received updates from the last three--got waitlisted. Not really sure what to do now.
