med school apps update: Got an interview at UW!!!

Can you hear that? It's me jumping up and down! I'll be interviewing at the U of Washington School of Medicine on November 29. Ohhhhhhh the relief.

Odds of getting an interview, as a WA resident, were roughly 70%, so this is only a minor miracle. Odds of post-interview acceptance are roughly 1 in 5. Gulp.

Quick status on the rest of my apps:

16 schools have yet to turn me down.
Einstein, Dartmouth, Drexel, Jefferson, M.C. Wisconsin, Mount Sinai, New York MC, New York U, Oregon, SUNY Brooklyn, Temple, Miami, Vermont, Tufts, Tulane, Colorado

I also just started up apps to 10 schools of Osteopathic Medicine. These are in NY, ME, FL, CA, AZ and WA. I kinda aimed for the corners.

Thanks for your continuing support; I could not do this without you.
