Quick 2011 Compilation

Well, it’s officially 2012 and I want to start fresh. But I also wanted to let y’all know about the last few awesome baked goods I’ve made and give a quick update on my life. So I thought I’d do a little compilation photo style for you to summarize my last few weeks of 2011. … Continue reading →

Back in Africa

So my America trip is finished and I’m back in Benin with a med school acceptance in hand. I’m about 99% sure that I’ll be matriculating at this school (my in-state school for any curious folks out there) but I haven’t officially withdrawn from other places yet. I think I’ll wait to hear back from … Continue reading →

ACCEPTED

I’m gonna be a doctor.

Interviews? Check.

Well, I’m heading back to Africa next week and I’m finished with all my medical school interviews. I was invited to five, but cancelled the last one because the other four went well and the fifth would have been prohibitively expensive to travel to. The four schools I interviewed with were all in the midwest … Continue reading →

Quick update and happy birthday to me!

My birthday is in the next few days and I’ve gotten another invite! Happy birthday to me! That’s four now lined up for when I go back to America in two weeks. Four interviews was all I ever planned on, so if I do any better than that I’ll be completely happy. As of right … Continue reading →

Complete

So I’ve sent in all the applications I can. All my secondaries are in. I have five that are officially complete now. All I can do is sit back and relax. The waiting game begins.

Rejected

from Pritzker. Not unexpected, but still. Top choice. Man. I think I’m going to bake something to cheer myself up.

A Summer Update (and a cupcake, too!)

As of this posting I have officially applied to 6 schools, been rejected by one, and withdrew from two. I have three more secondary requests in my inbox that I’m going to finish up today…and then I’m just waiting on three more to get back to me. Whew! It’s definitely a long process. I can’t … Continue reading →

Taking a Deep Breath

I think I overreacted a bit today, but ultimately putting my accounts on private and locking my twitter was probably a good thing. I’ll probably link them back up again after the admissions season; I really don’t want anything I do or say online to have a negative impact during this process. I thought I … Continue reading →
