Brief Profile:
If someone told me that I would have had as much success as I did this past application cycle, and that I would be matriculating at my top choice, I never would have believed them. The best advice that I can give to any applicant is to be yourself, be honest, and enjoy the ride.

Great school. Won't hear back until December though. I enjoyed my interview.

Interview scheduled for 9/17 MMI Interview. Luckilly im in the Triangle, so getting there shoulden't be an issue.
Probably the best interview experience I have ever had, and will ever have. The people here were so passionate about what they are doing for the medical school, and why they are doing it. I truly fell in love with this school and the students and faculty. Hopefully I will be fortunate enough to become part of the community.
Accepted! I heard about two weeks ago, due to scholarship nomination! I couldn't be happier
