    Summary of Application Experience

    This profile is for my own use to keep myself up to date with this process. Feel free to make some comments (both positive and negative).

    June 6th- After reviewing my application twenty times, I finally submitted my application to AMCAS, but I'm still waiting on a doctor to submit my LOR after reminding him multiple times.

    June 12th-AMCAS verified my application, and lowered my science GPA by 0.17. A little more than I expected, but nothing I can do now.

    June 26th-Submitted secondary to Tulane University.

    June 28th-Submitted secondary to University of Vermont.

    Well I fell behind in updating, but I got my first invite on 07/24 at Tulane.

    12/10/07- I just got back from my interview at EVMS and I absolutely loved the school. I was told to be prepared for one ethical question. However, I was faced with about five. Hopefully all went well, but it will be awhile until I find out. Furthermore, I have interviewed at WVU, Creighton, and Tulane. So far, I have been put on the waitlist at Tulane and Creighton which was dissapointing, but I still have a chance. I don't expect to hear back from either of these schools until March/May. I should hear a post-interview decission from WVU sometime next week.
