Hello,
Am I totally wacko? I am SO excited to be getting and filling out secondaries!!! I applied MD two years ago and I remember dreading every essay that I wrote, but now I'm just happy as a clam to be writing essays about why I will make a great DO. Does anyone else feel this way? I just wanted to share my happy feelings with the rest of you future DO's out there! 🙂 Liz 😀 😀 😀
 
Yes, it's definitely a great feeling to get these nice, large packages in the mail. 🙂

Good luck!
 
Although, there is one thing I need to rant about..

Where are my stinkin' professors? 🙁

This may make a difference in an acceptance this year.... I remember being so excited and so organized when I received my secondaries.... Good luck to you and look forward to hearing your acceptance. 😉
 
I WOULD be more excited, I suppose...but I'm too busy working so I can afford the applications fees!!

Nah, seriously, I can't wait.

I think it will be a great opportunity to show these schools what kind of dedication I have.

Good luck to all!
