(2) Wed May 04 18:50:52 MST TEXAS HERE WE COME!!!: I hope anyway. I finished my Texas Medical school applications yesterday. It took me only 9 hours to polish up my personal essay, make a general accounting of my time from the day I graduated High School, and enter in all of my GPA stats. I am pleasantly supprised at the accomplishments that I had these last 4 years. I probably could have done a little better, however.
Last night I had a dream that I got my MCAT scores back and I had a 32 or something like that. I was happy, and then I got an acceptance letter from San Antonio. It has been a little bit of a ride.
I also decided against the AMCAS application. I was going to apply to GW, Med Coll of Wisconsin, Drexel, and Jefferson, but I figure that I would choose a Texas school over any of those. Furthermore, applying to just one of those schools would cost me in excess of 600 dollars, so if I were to apply to all of them I would spend $2,400 more than if I were to just apply to the Texas Schools, and that is a pretty conservative estimate. We could really use that money, so I am going to just take my chances with the Texas Schools.
I think that I have a major advantage. I applied on the second day that applications were opened, and I am already getting the Secondary applications in. I have finished sending Letters and Transcripts to Galveston, San Antonio, and Houston. I only have Southwestern, Texas Tech, and A&M left to do. I may want to apply to Baylor, though as well, but I don't count on gettin in there. Most people don't get their completed application in until July or August. The deadline is mid-October. I feel like I have more than a good shot, and I am excited to start my life as a Doctor (hopefully).
