*phew*
I can't believe that it's been over 5 months since I started this thread. Even though it's starting to drift off into the wasteland of old and obselete threads, I needed to revive it just one last time to let you guys know that I got
the call from UCI earlier today and that I will actually be going to med school this fall. Thanks for the encouragement from you guys (esp. uclaman, manic, moskeeto, labrat, shayla, jwalst, cchieb, sweet tea (our former V.P.
) and whoever else I'm forgetting). This long nightmare is finally over.
I know there are lot of people out there who are still waiting for their first acceptance, and I have to tell you guys that the harder you have to work to get that acceptance, the sweeter it is when it finally arrives. I was starting to make plans to work as an emt and eventually reapply (for my 3rd time) next year with a stronger application. Thankfully, I don't have to go through that, but I feel for all of you who are going through, or will have to go through, the reapplication process. Good luck to all of you guys!
