Summary of Application Experience
5.13.08 - When it came down to deciding, I realized that UTSW was right for me. I left my application out at Columbia to see if I could get in... apparently I could not. I wasn't upset, though, because UTSW was the perfect match at the right price. Now I'm counting down the days until I head to Dallas and get rolling. 11.15.07 - Accepted to UTSW!! So frickin' stoked. I need to do a whole lot of withdrawing at this point because this is one of my top choices. 11.6.07 - Waitlisted at Georgetown. I gotta say I was surprised at how much that bothered me. I guess I feel like if they meet me and still decide not to accept me, its more of a knock on me personally than it is a knock against my app/stats. Still waiting on the first fat envelope. 10.24.07 - I am opening this file a little late in the game but I figured 'better late than never'. I have been very fortunate in the process so far but I am still looking for that first fat envelope so that I can breathe a sigh of relief.
