Summary of Application Experience

6/26 Secondaries started trickling in.

7/6 Woohoo, just submitted 4 secondaries :0)

7/13 Submitted UPenn. Again, no essays!!

7/16 Just submitted 4 more secondaries! Now I am done with 10/16 of them!

7/23 Interview invite from Pritzker!!! Very exciting indeed.

7/25 Submitted Loyola. Now I'm rather bored...haha jk.

7/31 Just found out that my Case Western app wasn't completed due to a glitch...yikes.

8/1 Case interview invite! wow quick turnaround :0)

8/6 Still working on Duke secondaries, and got an interview invite/ secondary from Vandy!

8/16 ALMOST done with Duke...about to start Vandy. Interview invite from Northwestern :0)

8/17 Submitted my last secondary--Vandy. Wow I guess all I can do now is pray and prepare for interview season!

***My word of advice: follow your dreams!!! This is a stressful and long process, but as long as you keep your head up high, things will turn out alright. ***
8/31 Getting excited/nervous about Vandy, and just got invited to Penn :0)

9/7 Woah! JHU interview invite!!

10/16 After a long wait and several more interviews, finally, Oct 15th is here, and I'm in Case Western! Also invited to apply for merit scholarship! WOOOHOO! :0)
Cloud Nine: Harvard and Wash U Interviews!!! AND a Merit Scholarship from Pritzker!!

Oct-Nov more interviews, the last one being HMS.

12/10 Accepted to Northwestern Feinberg!

1/15 made my first post-acceptance withdraw (Case) today. For some reason this makes me incredibly sad because I have really enjoyed my visit to this school.

3/10 Rejection- Columbia. I knew it was coming since I never got an interview but it still hurts a little. I really can't wait for some closure from the non-rolling schools! The wait is driving me crazy.

3/14 Waitlist at Wash U

* been kind of a rough week, but I'm trying to keep things in perspective. I think I would be very happy at Pritzker. The more I think about it, the more I am leaning toward them...*

3/24 My spirit is just about broken...waitlisted at HMS NP. Probably will get a rejection from Duke any day now...now I'm just waiting on PENN. Penn has always been my fave. I really hope it comes through for me in a couple of days!!!

EDIT: I'm trying this new thing called optimism...haha. Actually it's not new to me, I've just simply lost a bit of prospective since my past several entries. I will now only think POSITIVE THOUGHTS until the Penn decision comes out on Wednesday. No more debby downer :0) I would be VERY HAPPY at Pritzker.

THE WAIT IS WORTH IT...I GOT INTO MY TOP CHOICE! PENN!!!!!!!!

I withdrew from the Harvard NP waitlist today. It felt liberating :0) Now I'm just down to Penn or Pritzker...

5/14 Penn gave me a signigificant scholarship!!!! Not as good as Pritzker, but pretty close. Will be attending Penn Med :0) Could not be any happier!!!!!
