AMCAS Medical School Applications

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

So I just heard back from one of the medical schools I applied to for what’s called a “secondary application” – this email elicited a warm feeling in my heart. It both let me know that the application did go out because it obviously was received and it also helps me feel like “wow I really DID do this and this is really going to happen” -it’s an awesome feeling when you see your hard work ready to pay off :)

Now all I have left to do is slay my MCAT to prove I belong there :)

Okay back to my study cave. I’m happy and just wanted to share :)

Yay iPhone Update

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

So they updated the iPhone software for those of us that bought these phones 2 months ago – while the new people get twice as much stuff (like a video camera in the phone – this is stills only) and other neat features and pay half the price – I must say the new text messaging feature (turns sideways) is kind of cool – but I was hoping for more of a “wow” from the all advertised 3.0 software upgrade. It’s okay – I’m still happy with my phone – for me it’s more of a PDA and text messenger than anything else anyway – and those features are still pretty awesome on the iPhone! Okay – back to MCAT studying!

Oh and my AMCAS application is officially complete now with all the transcripts in – it’s pending verification review and then submission – the wheels have turned – now it’s down to the MCAT to decide my future. Root for me! :-)

Stuff…

Well it was disheartening to watch the Orlando Magic lose the finals championship to the L.A. Lakers – but clearly Kobe owned that trophy. I congratulate everyone who played in the finals as they were all winners – clearly they were the East meets West of modern day, both being the champs of their coast.

I’ve sent in my AMCAS application – now I await the processing of the final transcript to be received at AMCAS and then it gets processed and submitted to all the medical schools I applied to. Right now I am busy with my studying for the MCAT (medical school entrance exam) and thus the process is unnerving to say the least – all premeds know how I feel right now! I’m just planning to learn as much as I can, re-solidify what I do know and practice for the exam the best I can and hope for the best on test day, which is a month away.
