Not sure about the other 2 but Howard is a very popular and historic HBCU so naturally, it's competitive to get into anything with their name on it. Hoped that helped somewhat.
just gotta get through an ochem lab final Thursday and then the real countdown begins!

You've got this! but just to clarify the results come out at 12am Thursday so you won't even need to wait that long 🙂
24 HOURS GUYS!!!
really? I never heard of a guarantee interview being given just for attending a program. lol are they just gonna overlook MCAT shores and GPA? However, if that's true I'm def going to pick Duke.
Woah! I kept thinking that it would be Thursday evening at midnight and not Wednesday evening at midnight!
I keep checking my application page guys... The wait is driving me crazy I can't even focus on studying for my chem final on Thursday 🙁 Btw, some sites released their decisions a few days early last year but is it still the case for anyone this year?
Y'all, it's a weird feeling. Sometimes, I am feeling like I will get accepted somewhere while other times I am feeling like I will get rejected everywhere.
Nope. Not here.
I had a feeling that's what you thought when you said you had to get through Thursday and then start the countdown XD
Hey eveyone,
First off, best of luck to everyone tomorrow! All we have to do is relax and realize that we put in our best efforts and that regardless, summer time will be great no matter what we are doing.
I am pretty anxious about tomorrow night. I applied to Columbia, UCLA, and UT. Now all we do is wait

Same dude, same. Trying to think positive thoughts over here though. We can do it!
Good luck everyone!! Super duper excited and nervous! No matter what, things will work out for all of us! 🙂 I may or may not take sleeping pills so I can sleep through the day. And also good luck on your ochem final! I'm taking orgo 2 lab next fall, bc orgo 2 and my other classes are driving me up the wall Who else is in Genetics??
I am!! And orgo 2 as well. Both with labs

I'm in orgo 2 rn, lab and genetics...I'm already up that wall XD
I applied to Florida for dental!
Me too! I’m doing orgo 2 and lab and genetics and lab
I applied to UT, Rutgers, and columbia, Hopefully the time flies by and decisions are posted!
I applied to Columbia, UW and University of Iowa! I'm already accepting an L from Columbia lol
Nah dont, you never know columbia might pick you! Think positive!
Yeah definitely, travel is paid depending on the sight you pick!
I'm dead your comment killed me XD. Current UF student and I can attest that their medical school is awesome. The people and admissions are so encouraging...went to a mini med school day they had and EVERYONE I talked to couldn't stop saying how blown away they were by the camaraderie, support of the school, and motivation everyone has here. <3

Yes, they pay for basic travel expenses. So probably a first class flight or train depending on how far you are.
i cant even study for my final tmr bc of this, good thing the final's at 3:30 pm 
I'm also studying for an exam tomorrow... well trying to lol. Good luck on yours!i cant even study for my final tmr bc of this, good thing the final's at 3:30 pm
Yes! I heard good things about them as well. I also heard this site great academically and socially. However, I've talked to some people and they are getting the vibe that going Gainesville is going to be like chilling in Miami or something. So should you tell them or should I? lol.
I hope I get accepted to University of Washington for Dental. Who else applied there for Dental? 🙂
Almost 12 hours till we find out. Just imagine when you apply to Dental school or medical school, what you would be going through the day when you find out where you matched! lol.

I kind of wish I was in school so I would at least be distracted by class lol. I applied to UW, LSU, and Nebraska. UW is my dream med school and I really love that rainy Seattle vibe so I would be so pumped if I got in. Also don't they pay round trip airfare.
Yeah I'm pretty sure they pay roundtrip airfare
I applied to Columbia, UCLA, and UF for dental. I go back and forth in my mind what makes me a good candidate and what may work against me. In the end it just leaves me with an extreme amount of anticipation.
For those who didn't read my earlier post: I am a freshman in college in upstate NY, maybe that will increase my chances with Columbia 😉(which I calculated to have around a 6% acceptance rate for those wondering, but I have no idea how accurate that is since it is based on data from past years). As always, good luck to everyone. I am sure we will make the most of whatever happens!
You got this! Like you said, its worth it, its a once in a lifetime oppurtunity.
Much admiration for someone taking general Bio and Chem 2, Calculus, and English Comp. Good luck!
I’m in genetics rn at my school. It’s not that bad at all I’m doing really well, and same I’m taking orgo lab later after orgo 2 this semester

I'm sweating...this feels like applying for colleges all over again 😀
See my friend who attended the program last year told me that most people were applying to Rutgers. Its also on my list of the top 3 med schools I'd like to apply and hopefully get accepted to.
Good luck to you too! I applaud you for taking all of those at the same time.
I need 30 credits a year (15 per semester) in order to be eligible for the Excelsior Scholarship, for which NY state covers the entirety of tuition. I still have to pay for textbooks, fees, and gas etc.
Oh and thanks, I hear Organic is fairly difficult, how is it treating you?
I think we should have a forum party the 15 minutes leading up to midnight, it’ll keep everyone sane. 😀
Does anyone know more about the health insurance requirement? Ths official website said they can help with those who don’t have it but some sites say they won’t (Columbia, and UCLA, for example.)
