********************************************************************* July 5th- I've removed a number of schools that I felt I wouldn't be competitive at, but mainly just to minimize the costs.
July 11th- I have a good essay.
August 20th- MCAT score sucked as I expected.
I'll go through with UMDNJ's application since I already payed the secondary before getting my score.
Otherwise, I'm retaking the MCAT in May 2009 and reapplying for the next cycle.
