Applied to ~35 schools, most of which were in early July.
-3.6 cGPA and 515 MCAT
-Research heavy- two secondary publications and multiple poster presentations.
-Been working for over two years as a Research Associate in a biomedical device/diagnostics startup.

I recently acquired a new job at another small diagnostics company. I also have two more publications that are under review from my work with the previous company.

On a more personal note, my family moved out of the state (CA--> OH). I didn't want to continue to be dependent on my parents so I stayed and found my own my place. In order to pay the bills, I have been working on the weekends.

I've been rejected from 3 schools so far and have been silent from the majority of the rest. Are any of these life changes substantial enough for an update letter?

These updates are a waste of time
