Three secondaries left and I'm DONE.

1. Drexel: gotta find a typewriter. 🙄
2. Oregon HSU: almost done with the essay
3. Case: Rec'd the invite email this morning. Almost done. Research essay is easy as I'm cribbing it from my Master's thesis. 😉

Woo!

Cool. Now it's time to kick back, put the feet up, and relax. Right? 😎 😀

How's everyone else doing?
 
I've sent out 6 out of 10 possible. The other 4 I haven't even received yet. Those darned Midwest schools and their relaxed admissions cycle!
 
so *jealous* of you EvoDevo....

still have 8/22 left 🙁

Don't feel bad. It's been a lot of hard work for me: 19 of 22 complete. Jeez.....

Keep plugging away. One secondary at a time..... :luck:

Gosh. 19/22. Good job 🙂 Maybe there is hope for me yet....

*back to staring blankly at my screen*
 
I've finished 8, am currently working on 3, waiting to hear from 7. (I've received confirmation of receipt for all of those 7 though.)

Happy birthday, EvoDevo! :hardy:

I still have:

Stanford (halfway done)
Wayne (haven't started)
MSU (haven't received)

I decided to not fill out the Case secondary.
 
i just have emory left....i did 13 already, and dumped wake forest....emory is taking me forever cause i feel like i fell of the motivation train i had when i had 10 secondaries to do!
 
got UCLA, UCD, UCSD, loyola, USC, tulane... pitts.... sigh so many left to do.

Almost almost done with Rush.. just gotta suck it up and finish it.
 
what schools haven't sent out secondaries yet?? maybe i can still apply there and not be too behind...
 
Harvard hasn't been sent out yet. Drexel was just sent out a few days ago, so you wouldn't be too behind.
 
13 down, 17 to go..................... :scared:
ew............ i hate this
 
all done.

applied to 13 schools: 11 completed secondaries; 2 pre-secondary rejections (mayo and vandy)

commence phase II 8/25/04: interviewing...
 
Left to go:

Oregon HSU - gotta write the essay
Virginia Commonwealth - gotta write the essay
Loyola - one question left
Eastern Tenn State - one question left
University of Vermont - get my "police records" (aka speeding tickets)
Drexel - Just gotta fill it out...I'm using pen.
 
it was all going along great till stanford, duke, and chicago came along.

going to definitely take me another week+ to finish it all. stanford is going to be done tonight for sure.
 
22/30 done.....

... 8 more to go... i can completely understand how ppl would want to withdraw presecondary now....
 
some done; a LOT more to go. all of you so close to finishing are incredibly lucky!
 
Let's see:

Finished: RWJ, NJMS, Albert Einstein, Upenn, Cornell, NYU
Pending: Hopkins, Yale, Mt Sinai, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Duke

Yea, I'm a bum. I'm still trying to meet my goal of finishing my secondaries by Aug. 31st. Let's see what happens.

On a positive note, I had my first interview on 8/19 at NJMS and it very pretty damn well. So I'm happy with that.
 
finished 3... 13 more to go. i'm such a procrastinator. one that i finished had no essays and the other two had deadlines, so i had to do them. but seriously, this is my week. i will finish by aug. 31st, damnit! i am making my own deadline.
