Hey everyone! Congrats on all your acceptances and whatnot. I got my application in about 3 weeks ago (I was considering studying abroad, so I missed the early deadline), so I've still got a month to wait!! 😡 I'm really pulling for Nebraska because that's most likely where I'll end up for med school. Anyways, good luck!
