    Summary of Application Experience

    4/20 - got in off the waitlist at Pitt!! man, hard decision coming up... I was totally emotionally committed to Brown, it's gonna be hard to step back now and consider both schools unbiasely (not a word, I know :) )

    3/24 - withdrew from Vermont, got accepted at JABSOM but withdrawing tomorrow. Also, got waitlisted at WashU

    3/20 - I got into Brown!! withdrawing from two interviews..

    3/9 - No news except late interview invite to CMS at Rosalind Franklin :)

    2/19 - waitlisted at Pitt :(

    2/9 - Brown was awesome. I would totally love to go here!

    2/2 - Wow, no update in a while. Got some more rejections, and two more interview invites - Washington University in St Louis (already done) and University of Vermont (Feb 12)! supposed to hear back from Pittsburgh this week (I've been obsessively checking my e-mail every 10 minutes for the past two weeks :) )

    12/15 - Pitt all done! The school was awesome, definitely a top choice now.
    - Brown invite

    11/5 - all schools complete except OHSU (which I sent by snail-mail, so it might take a while), Rosalind (which I haven't sent yet) and UCLA (which hasn't sent me a secondary yet or a rejection letter)

    10/27 - JABSOM interviews went really well
    - a lot of 'complete' e-mails but otherwise no real news

    10/17 - I got my second rejection (by snail-mail) from UCSF

    10/16 - scheduling my JABSOM interviews
    - still waiting for some sign of life from the other 20-some schools...

    10/12 - sent secondary for OHSU

    10/10 - so far:
    - 1 rejection (Mayo)
    - 1 hold (UCon)
    - 2 interviews (JABSOM and Pittsburgh)
