Summary of Application Experience
Key - R= Received, S= Submitted, C= Complete 7/23/07 - AMCAS submitted 8/02/07 - AMCAS not yet verified.... 8/06/07 - AMCAS still 'ready for review' not even 'under review' yet! Note to readers: Submit your AMCAS in June or you will go crazy! 8/13/07 - AMCAS verified 8/17-8/24 - went to NOLA to do some post-Katrina relief volunteering. What an experience! (Unfortunately no time to do secondaries. Plan - finish off all rolling applications this week, work on everything else next week!) 8/30/07 - Oh man, school has started...SO MANY ESSAYS TO WRITE! 9/25/07 - Okay, I LOVED NYU!! two more invites today, but still waiting on most fronts. I still have to update this page some more, but super busy! 11/12/07 - Accepted NYU MSTP! So ecstatic! I loved it there. I can't believe it! 11/27/07 - Waitlisted at MSSM - pretty bummed out. I can totally envision myself there... 12/07/07 - Michigan ACCEPTANCE!!!! Holy cow! (I kind of feel like saying 'in your face to the 'hater' posters on my wall...but that would be juvenile!!)
