So, shifting around this place, I didn't really find any threads that had the purpose I was going for here.
Decisions are coming out right about now and with the new VMCAS situation, we are just under three months until the 2020 application season starts. For all of us out there who have not made it this time around (or the last time around.... or the time before that....) what are y'all planning to do with this extra year? Are you planning to apply again for 2020? Why? Why not? What else do you want to say?
This time around, I was a second time applicant that never got called off the waitlist the first time around. I applied to five schools on my first shot, but only two this time. I got my rejection for one months ago. I haven't received a rejection of the other yet, but seeing as how all their interview weekends have passed and I wasn't invited, I feel like it is a safe bet to say I will be a third time applicant in May. I was really feeling talking to others who are on that multiple time applicant train, so I thought I would hook up that first train car.
I know I will be retaking physics and possibly taking O-chem II, while working at a doggie boarding place. I'm trying to get some shadowing arranged for the summer with a lab animal vet at a local hospital for a couple hours a week. And I would love to volunteer at our local Children's Hospital. I'm definitely also going to do file reviews, but I am going to schedule those probably next month.
