I'M IN I'M IN I'M IN!!!!!!!!!!!
I got the call from Dr. Chan just before 10 this morning. I knew who it was when I saw the number, and I cried over the phone when he told me the good news.
I've been rejected from Utah (and all medical schools for that matter) two years in a row, and it was such a discouraging feeling each time. I've been through this whole waiting process a few times, I've talked to anxious family and friends and had to tell them that "I'm still waiting" or "yep, I'm reapplying again. THIS will be the year."
I was really beginning to worry about this application cycle, worried that a fourth round of applying was on my horizon. I feel so much relief and joy right now. For those who are still trucking along waiting for an acceptance somewhere, whether this be your first time around or your second, just keep moving forward and doing your best. I know how hard it is, but now that I am here with this acceptance, I can tell you with absolute certainty that it is absolutely worth it when you arrive. I can also tell you that, having fallen short of this outcome twice, that the victory that has finally come is all the sweeter to me.
