I am a third time applicant this year accepted off waitlist to University of Washington! Stick with it, it will pay off!

It took me three tries to get into med school and I eventually matched into my number 1 residency. If you stick with it and you want it bad enough, you will get it.
 
Good luck applying this year! I've heard of people who applied at least 4 times. So hang in there, we're all here to support each other!

Re-taking DAT in july, became a full-time dental assistant, updated LOR's, and took a few grad courses over this year. Never give up if it is what you want. 👍
 
Third time applicant as well,I applied yesterday. I got into PITT yesterday too but I have not decided whether to accept it or not.

I am confused? You applied yesterday and got accepted? How is that and why wouldn' you accept? Take it if you got it, because it may not come around again!
 
Re-applying as well. I was just interested in which schools you are applying to? Have they always been the same schools?
