Summary of Application Experience

6/8/09- AMCAS submitted. Still waiting on 2 transcripts.

6/11/09-AMCAS ready for review. I found errors in my application in the grades section. I called AMCAS hotline and said they will either fix it when verifying my app or I will need to submit a grade change request after verification, which will take up to 5 business days. oh no :(

6/22/09- AMCAS verified. They fixed my grade mistakes. :)

7/8/09- Found out about UCLA Drew today and it\'s focus on underprivileged populations. It immediately caught my interest and I added Drew to my AMCAS application.

7/18/09- My first interview invite from U Pitt!! Excited and a bit nervous just thinking about it. >.<

8/20/09- Interview invite from UC Davis!!!! Need to schedule an interview date but their interview page doesn\'t work.

8/28/09- Holding 4 interviews right now (5 if you count U of Ariz for two). I just want to say that I feel truly blessed. I hope I rock those interviews.

9/28/09 - Bad news: Rejection from UCSF; Good news: Interview invite from UCI

10/01/09- I\'m going to send my letter of update/interest today. I hope it helps somehow! I am now holding 8 interviews. I am extremely, extremely grateful.
