Summary of Application Experience
Comments, suggestions for schools to apply to are welcome and greatly appreciated.
08/05/08 - Started this thingymabobber. MCATs in 2 days! I felt I\'ve done the preparation and been doing fairly well on the AAMC tests (lowest score was a 30); I\'m planning to do parts of practice tests tonight and tomorrow, relax, and get some rest before I slay the dragon this Thursday.
08/14/08 - Waiting game for the MCAT... I\'ve been trying to keep myself busy with work and getting some exercise (hitting the beach, going camping with some of the fraternity people soon). I\'m really hoping I did okay and won\'t have to take that thing again. Fingers crossed!
09/09/08 - 12PM and scores are finally released... I\'m somewhat satisfied. Most likely not going to retake, hope it\'s competitive for California schools. I\'m a little disappointed in Bio (averaged 11-13\'s on AAMC\'s), but very surprised at the writing score! I was having a few nightmares this past month that I might\'ve written something to offend someone and gotten a low score... should I retake?
09/18/08 - Pretty much set on not retaking now and to continue on LOR\'s and EC\'s, try to keep a competitive GPA this year as well.
03/29/09 - Quick update to profile. Going to work on LOR\'s this quarter. Was able to bump up GPA from 3.7 --> 3.75 these past 2 quarters. Also finishing up research analyses and preparing for Honduras again.

My first interview... great facilities, great students, great teaching staff. I was very nervous about it, and the anxiety leading up to this killed me. Here\'s to hoping for an acceptance from the wait list.
