Med Schools Apps (continued...)

It is Thursday Sept 17th, 2015 3:22PM and the clock just keeps ticking... I am trying to be patient...

I really have no updates on my medical school applications. Last week, I was sort of freaking myself out because I had not received any updates on any of the schools I applied to--Creighton and St Louis University. I was even considering finishing up the secondary apps for KU and UIC to add more statistical chances to my pool but decided not to. The reason is, as stated in another post, because my stats are not too impressive for KU (in-state oriented) and the tuition at UIC is outrageous and I am not feeling the school either. I realized that applying to medical schools is quite expensive, one must really plan ahead because MCAT, AMCAS, Secondary apps and transcripts all add up. This is not including the travel expenses once you get invited for an interview! I am also planning my wedding, I am getting married in Guatemala next year :) I really haven't discuss much of my personal life. Perhaps on a different post.

I do have one update, after waiting a two weeks of not receiving a secondary app from Loyola, I decided to call the admissions office. It turns out they had send me one back on August 27th but for some reason I just never received it. The lady was kind enough and e-mailed it to me again and got it a few minutes later. The secondary for Loyola was tough! I completed the secondary and submitted it on Sept 14th.

Now it is just a matter of waiting, I just hope that Creighton, SLU, Loyola do not take their precious time as I can be patient but everyone has a limit. Come to think of it, all those are Jesuit schools!! Hopefully I get some love from the Jesuits ;D

In the meantime, I will just continue on with my life and prepare for next month's interview at UNMC.
