    Sept. 11-1st rejection-G-Town

    Oct:
    Out of my 3 interviews:
    1. Tulane- I LOVE IT!!! Please accept me soon. Everything really clicked; the city, the students, the doctors Imet, the service learning.
    2. NYMC: People were nice, the campus was absolutely gorgeous, and it would be nice to be near family and friends. Thought it was my weirdest interview.. just had a feeling it would not be a favorable outcome..and just look.
    3. EVMS: I liked the challenging interview, my student host was nice, the students were ok, the best part was the children's hospital.

    25- Got a call from WebMD to submit my resume for a job.. pretty sweet. My waitlist from EVMS..not so sweet, but I hear they take a bunch of people off it.

    Dec
    wrote a letter of intent/update to Tulane, will try to do the same for EVMS over Christmas
    training to become SAT tutor
    12/13- Rejection from GW the other day, but I don't care (pretty sure Imay have called them a Jesuit school..my bad), but I am totally stoked for my downstate interview. It gives me hope to hear from a few more schools yet.
    12.20- I found out I was accepted to NYMC! It's close to friends and family which is awesome. My goal was to have one acceptance by Christmas, so that 2008 could be relaxed at first.
    12.28-My friends and family have been hounding me to stop interviewing.. they are excited for me to be close. I would be happy to hear from: Columbia, Baylor (both unlikely), VCU, Tufts, & Loyola... may withdraw from a few schools. I quit my job & working as temp. I want to save $ for trips to Belgium & cross country.

    3/3 Rejected from Upstate.. WTF.. I was leaning way from living in 'Cuse, but c'mon I'm instate.. does that mena nothing to you people. Sheesh.
    3/23.. more rejections have arrived. Under spring consideration for SUNY Downstate.. wtf... no love from the home state. Honestly, I don't even want to practice in NYS given the current state.
    It looks like I'll be @ NYMC, which is fine b/c the bf and kitty cat are moving to NYC!

    My interviews have all involved talking about cooking, running, living in Boston, and politics (not R v. D sort of stuff)
