Okay everybody, this is gonna be one long post, but PLEASE PLEASE bare with me, I?m going nuts here.
Thanks to Eric, I had all my other questions answered, but this one is for everyone, because it needs a lot of input.
I applied to a total of 31 schools. Did I do a mistake? Maybe, I don?t know, but now that I?m thinking about it, I think I should have applied to 25 schools maybe. Basically 5 or 6 schools less.
I would like to try to take down some of my application fees. I already paid the AADSAS application fee, but what I?m left with is the individual school fees, and I was just wondering if you guys could please narrow down the list for me. I?m going to list all the schools that I applied to already and that require application fees that range from 45 to 75 dollars.
GPA 2.70, science, I?d say around 2.40 to 2.50
DAT? 09/22, I assume I?ll do reasonably above average to say the least.
Resident of Ohio, Microbiology major at Ohio State
I have exceptional extracurricular activities, a lot more then an average applicant (I assume). Shadowing? 1000 documented hours at least, and tons of volunteering hours. Basically, I was using the time I slacked off for volunteering or shadowing, and some nice hobbies. Please don?t think I?m bragging. Actually wait, there?s nothing to brag about.
OKAY! The list I would like you to please please help me narrow down?
University of the Pacific, 75 bucks
USC, 65 bucks
UCONN, 60 bucks
University of Maryland, Baltimore, 60 bucks
Boston University, 60 bucks
University of Detroit Mercy, 50 bucks
The University of Michigan, 50 bucks
University of Minnesota, 55 bucks
Creighton, 45 bucks
University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, 75 bucks
Columbia University, 60 bucks
New York U, 70 bucks
Case, 45
University of Oklahoma, 50 bucks
Virignia commonwealth, 70 bucks
That?s the list that wants money. I?m not gonna even bother giving you the ones that don?t want money because I already sent my application a month and a half ago, and it went with the sixth mailing, yesterday afternoon.
Don?t even bother asking me why I applied to OK, I was born in Tulsa, OK, and I thought it might somehow help. Okay, im just stupid, and I thought it would help, that?s all. Like I said, I?ve already submitted my app, so I cannot withdraw my app from these schools, but what I can do is not send them any money and just let it go. I figured if I could drop 5 schools from this list, I would save a couple of hundered dollars. I would have lost about 150 bucks for putting them on the list, but what the heck, better then losing a couple of hundred knowing I won?t get accepted there.
Okay, for whoever is still reading this, lol, please throw some input, anything?PLEASE....oh and please don't tell me I shouldn't have applied, because out of like 100 people, maybe two or three told me I should apply for the heck of it, and I want to apply, so its not gonna really change anything but make me feel like ****!!!
Thanks a lot people, I would be nowere without you all, i swear!
