Umm...Alaska Girl,
You really need a reality check here- the U of M TC only let you in because you are an underrepresented minority. Your stats (MCAT 29; BCPM 3.30; overall 3.41) are really not very good, esp. when compared with the Us averages for incoming students. To say that you worked really hard to get into medical school is just really bull****, given your numbers and the fact that you were accepted as an out of state student to a highly ranked medical school that is famous for minority fishing and then rejecting its better qualified in state applicants. The U of M is famous for importing less-than-capable minority students and giving them tuition wavers. The U of M TC does everything short of actually licking your boots clean when you are a minority applicant. Perhaps that is why the Us reputation is slipping as of late. What a shame that in-state students with high MCAT scores and GPA's are being turned down so that the tax payers of Minnesota can help pay for you to go to medical school.
