Summary of Experience:
After getting accepted to Iowa, it completely changed my willingness to interview at schools. Basically OHSU and Pitt were the only places I was willing to travel to, along with In state schools
Summary of Experience:
This was the first rejection that really hurt. Man, I fell in love with this place. It was an honor to simply make it to the interview! Would have been amazing if I got accepted.
