An auspicious beginning
A big day in WoE (that's World of Evan)... so I figured a reasonable time, as well, for a first LJ post. I'm mostly done with medical school applications, and by 'mostly done' I mean have done everything but the actually-difficult bit, the Personal Statement. Bah, another hour, perhaps. I stared at it for a while, when to an unnecessarily long lunch with some friends, bouncing around anxiously the whole time.. since AMCAS reported as of this morning that they had 1 of 1 MCAT scores on file...

...which meant I should have received them in the mail today. Went to the mail room, running the last couple hundred yards, eagerly bending down slightly as I round the second set of mailboxes to peer into the little window on the mail I'm provided... something in there... but just another free issue of Stuff magazine. It's a really dumb publication, but slickdeals.net got me a free 3 year subscription sophomore year and, well, I won't argue with that.

So I wander back to the lab, downtrodden, and idly log into the AMCAS website... where I find that April 2004 scores are posted. I am, needless to say, a bit worried clicking that login button on the page... but I shouldn't have been. Sweet Jesus on a stick I'm happy :)



Golden. =) Now the question is... do I want to go the sorts of places a 38 makes possible? Or would being a big fish in a small(er) pond be more my thing? And should money make a difference? I bet UAB, a top 20 university AND my state school, would be thrilled to give me a scholarship... I'm not sure I even want to argue with that.
