Freshman

Spring: getting good grades, community service, clubs, making friends w/teachers


Soph
Fall: getting good grades, community service, clubs, SHADOWING

Spring: all of the above + SHADOWING


Junior
Fall: good grades, community service, started studying a little for DAT

Spring: good grades, a decrease in comm. service due to studying for DAT. took it in July (applied to AADSAS before I took the DAT). made sure teachers didn't blow off my rec letters and actually got them in on time. was harrased by a chemistry professor who made me grade all of his papers (slavery). try not to get enslaved the semester before you have to take the DAT (my slavery was NOT voluntary..I was forced into it lol). crying b/c of the mean teacher who enslaved me with boatloads of his papers to grade that he should be grading.

Summer: early on: wrote PS, made sure rec letters were turned in on time as much as i could, did cool research in another state, studied 4 hours a day for the DAT, took the DAT in july (and actually passed!!!! woohooo!!!!!)

Senior
Fall: waiting for interview invites, hating physical chemistry lab, stressing and freaking out about interviews and getting excepted, more stressing, shopping for the perfect interview suit, flying to four different interviews, driving to one. meeting cool interviewers. becoming obsessed with sdn. WAITINGGGGG for dec. 1 to come. relieved when dec. 1 came.

Spring: overcoming family issues. taking physiology, CPR, a couple other classes, and anatomy and dissection!!! making sure my grades turn out OK so i don't get my acceptance rescinded and hiding from the mean professor who enslaved me junior year. i win, you can't hurt me now
