Summary of Application Experience
My GPA is on the low side due to an unfortunate freshman year 17 years ago. I'm hoping the schools will see the upward trend (my cumulative goes from 1.50 freshman year to 2.27 sophomore year to 3.86 junior and 3.88 senior years, and my BCPM goes from 0 for freshman and sophomore years to 3.77 junior year and 3.78 senior year) and overlook the low totals.
19 Jul 07 - submitted primary to AMCAS.
01 Aug 07 - still 'Ready for Review' at AMCAS
08 Aug 07 - Verified!!! GPA updated to reflect AMCAS's results. AMCAS marked some of my AO classes as being in my senior year instead of my freshman year (wtf?) but my trend still looks good so I'm not going to have them fix it, I think...
14 Aug 07 - I finished both OSU and U. of Michigan today. I thought it was only appropriate that I do them simultaneously, all things considered...
26 Aug 07 - Caught up with the secondaries -- 11 received and 11 submitted. Now to hopefully get those last four in and maybe some interview requests...
28 Aug 07 - I suspect I may be on post-sec hold at Wake. *sigh*
18 Sep 07 - Just finished Loyola's secondary which means that barring adding any more schools, I'm DONE with secondaries. Or rather, I'm done assuming that I get in some place this cycle. Right now, I'm rather glum about my prospects.
20 Nov 07 - Apparently a 14VR doesn't mean as much as I was lead to believe.
04 Feb 08 - Still nothing.
