Summary of Application Experience
Doin it to it.
I gotta get in this cycle, I'm bored with a couple jobs.
I keep trying to get into programs and they keep telling me to come back when I'm a doctor, so I'm working towards a degree that will give me some tools to do some good.
But otherwise I'm having fun with music, rock climbing, friends and fam.
Could have gotten in the secondaries earlier i suppose, they were all out by 2nd week in sept. But I'm a perfectionist, what can I say.
Thinking about applying to more schools, but I really just felt schools out, and applied to ones I really wanted to go to.
update: I'm not applying to any more schools, my stats will be good enough, and I will convince someone to teach my ass. Dammit.
comments/trash talk welcome.
Got into Drexel... pressure was off mid-december. Made my other intervievws a lot less desperate. I did what I should have done from the begining, relax and talk about why I want to be a doctor.
Just got into USC... A really really awesome school... a supurb clinical program with LA County hospital right there... but its expensive... o well could be worse.
3/15 Going to USC. I loved the ER, I've wanted to move to California for years. I'm sick of this whole process and i'm out to Central America to learn spanish.
