6/20: MCAT scores, ehh. I was scoring a lot higher on practice exams - I think it had something to do with the amount of painkillers I was on at the time (ACL injury a week before)
7/1: Decided not to apply. People told me that I couldnt get in, and I totally believed them, but then I thought about how much I wanted this and that one of the reasons that I wasn't going to apply was that I was scared of rejections.
7/29: Changed mind, hit submit. Let the judgement begin.
8/9: ACL Surgery, just waiting for secondaries while all hopped up on painkillers.
9/1: Rejection number one...Oh Wake...
10/4: Big day...Interview NUMBER ONE...and rejection number 2. Thank god the interview came first or today could have been a major meltdown day.
10/5 DARTMOUTH INTERVIEW!
10/6 Now they just are rolling in...rejections that is....guess it is time to get some thicker skin: BU hates me
10/18 Not much news for the past few weeks. No rejections (really good thing) but no interviews (not so good thing). I think I am complete at all of my schools. Decided not to complete my McGill application - just too much money and work at this point. Hoping that this will be a good week!!
10/19 MCW rejection...must. get. thicker. skin.
11/4 Loved GW. I had a great interview day and now I just have to wait 6 weeks to find out if they liked me half as much as I liked them. Getting geared up for Dartmouth next week, and I just got an invite for Tufts (which is already scheduling for the end of January!!)
11/14 Tired of applications. Tired of studying. Just tired.
12/5 PSU Invite! At least stops me from watching the clock waiting for GW and Dartmouth. Scheduled my interview at PSU for my birthday, hopefully that will give me some good vibes. So happy. Four interviews. I never would have expected this kind of luck. Fingers remain crossed.
12/8 Invite from EVMS OOS, I am SO happy!! They have an amazing children's hospital that I really am excited about! And I get to visit all of my friends!!
12/11 Feeling really negative about GW and Dartmouth, people who interviewed after me have already heard - I'm assuming this means waitlist/rejection at both schools. Crap. Too bad I fell in LOVE with them both.
12/15 In the midst of finals week. I've kept trying to stop getting excited every time that the mail comes, I think that it will be a while before I hear from Dartmouth and GW could just as easily be bad news. So at this point....who knows. I think I have to be happy with where I am and stop freaking. Easy to say though!
12/18 I'M GOING TO BE A DOCTOR!
12/25 I've had some time to breathe, some time to process, and I am still giddy. GW is where I will probably end up, and that makes me incredibly happy. I had a great interview day, love DC, and love everyone that I have met that is associated with the school. What a wonderful present it was for me.
2/12 It's been a while! Lot of rejections, three more interviews, a bunch of waitlists and one more acceptance from PSU! Unsure of where I am going to end up next year - still waiting to hear from Dartmouth and looking forward to my Vermont interview still! This process, while incredibly frustrating and brutal, also was very rewarding in the end. We'll see where I end up, but I am one happy person.
3/17 Starting to wind down this whole process. Still hoping and wishing for UVM, Dartmouth and Tufts. Senior spring is a very odd time at college, especially when you know what you are doing next year. Weird.
4/18 So now I wait - waitlists at Tufts, UVM, Dartmouth. Not sure what I will do, need to reevailate where I am and see what makes sense for me. I will be SO happy at GW, just not sure about the three waitlists.
5/14 Withdrew from Penn State - great school, just not for me. I'll stay on a few waitlists, but am starting to think about moving to DC and starting at GW in the fall - I can't wait!
5/24 Got into Tufts! Phonecall from the Dean. Need to make a decision within the next week before I go out of the country for a month. No clue what to do - any advice?
