Hello Dr. Will, Anxious, and everyone else!
So...like those that are waiting, I'm feeling lost and growing very impatience as orientation draws near... I have several questions about the AP.
1) Who do you guys called to get the admission status? Is it a guy, lady? Anyhow, I'm always told that my file is "still under consideration". Is that a good thing? Does it necessarily means that I have a chance for acceptance? Do they actually send out letters of rejection for those who didn't qualify at this point??? I guess I just want to know whether I should still feel good that my "file is still under consideration", knowing that I am still in the running. Anyone???
2) Is orientation absolutely neccessary??? the only reason I'm asking this is that what if we get accepted 2 days before orientation or days after? I don't know anyone over there and I haven't book any plane tickets, any sorta planning because I don't know my admit status. plus if orientation is necessary, I certainly don't want to miss out on anything. here is a stupid question: do they have a make-up orientation? ok, just kick myself in the foot.
3) Is there an airport near the school or is there a long drive to the school after you get off the nearest airport? what is the nearest airport?
4) any advises at this point for me as I wait anxiously for admission into the AP program?
5) Also, do you know of any APs in the past who decided to hold off applying to med school while they're in the program? Would that be ok? Or would it hurt you if you completed the program and apply the following summer with a set of fresh kick*ss grades? I may consider doing that because I really want give my state school a shot but I'm not sure if that is ok.
THANKS EVERYONE !!!
