My Personal Statement is about reinvention. Reinventing myself, my life as a Parochial School teacher, and my ambition to research during Medical School
Problems w/ $$$
I'm planning on only applying to around ~15 schools because I am a poor teacher. I live in Georgetown, and my rent is around $1800 (trying to illustrate that my lifestyle, probably through self-selection, is pretty pricy). I am planning on enrolling at UDC to do a post-bacc and raise my Science GPA, and I don't expect much love at all during this cycle, so I want to keep it light. I have a main list, and then schools I am considering. If you think that I should remove a school from my main list, and replace it with a consideration, I would find that amazingly helpful.
