Phenomenal stats. Epic name.

Can you get any more shadowing in? And so your clinical experience will be 3 months of ER by time of 2°, and one doctor--anything else?

Did anything productive come out of your research, like posters, presentations, or papers?

And I'm personally curious as a Florida resident, why UCF? Safety? I wouldn't be surprised if they accepted you a few weeks after interview. From purely anecdotal accounts, I hear the grab up the higher stats pretty quickly.

Haha so glad someone gets the pun!
As far as shadowing goes, it's ongoing. I'm shadowing doctors as we speak, and I should have ~100 hours total from 2-3 specialties by interview time. Research is very promising, and I am in the process of publishing a paper in my 2nd research lab (Don't know if it will be official by interview time, so I left it out).

Honestly UCF was tacked on after many, many people said I didn't apply to enough in state schools as a safety. Outside of UF and UM I don't have much interest in FAU, FIU, and FSU. I literally flipped a coin between USF and UCF, and it came up tails (<----another pun).
