Summary of Application Experience

Submitted AMCAS 6/24, in line for review 6/27, verified 7/11

Received first secondary 7/11.. can't turn it in yet because NONE of my LORs are in yet!!

7/29 * ok so my premed advisors only lost 3 out of 5 LORS, not so bad. Also, UCI want's waaaaay more units than I have. I'm gonna have to go back to working part-time to get all of it finished in time!

8/4 * ok, i decided to add a few more schools *just in case*

8/9 * finally! all LORS received by premed advisors, packets sent out immediately!

8/12 * going broke on secondaries, have decided to withdraw from a few schools

8/15 * have reached halfway point with secondaries! yay!

8/24 * 25 secondaries submitted so far.. no interviews yet, but no rejections either so I'm not really sure what to think..

8/29 * eeeee! five interview invites so far!

9/5 * have submitted all the secondaries I've received except for the few I decided to withdraw from. may send those later if I don't get any more interview invites..

9/28 * 8 interviews so far, 2 rejections, 2 'on hold' for interview.. whatever that means?

10/17 * EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! 1st acceptance!!! still keeping fingers crossed for CA schools!!

11/26 * Two acceptances, two waitlists so far.. come on california schools!!

01/06 * There are still a lot of schools taking their sweet time getting back to me, including almost ALL of the CA schools. I guess it's good I applied all over the country cos I'd be going NUTS by now otherwise.

01/17 * First post-interview rejection from AECOM. That hurts a little but to be honest I wasn't terribly impressed by the school when I interviewed there.

02/08 * Rejected from UCD and UCSD the same day. UCD sent an email addressed to 'Dear Applicant,' talk about tacky.. 'Thanks for the $60 and the NINE essays you wrote for us, we couldn't be bothered to waste $0.39 or even type your name in a letter.' thanks guys.
