Woo! Going to Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science

So I've finally done it. I will be a member of the class of 2017 at RFUMS in Illinois.

After finally finishing my masters, torturous months of MCAT studying, I will be starting next fall. I'm nervous but confident. Right now I'm trying to soak up as much of the Bay Area before i get dropped off in cold Chicago.

The first thing I did was check out the girl to guy ratio of the last class. Nice. Balanced. When I interviewed there, I noticed there were some really cute girls there.

Anomaly? Maybe. I have to get my deposit in by Jan. 18.

And I have to apply for housing by Jan 2.

A game changer...

Ping! Usually that innocuous sound alerts me to deals on living social, groupon, or traffic alerts for my morning commute to UCSF. Ping! is usually reserved for the mundane and the everyday. Except for monday afternoon.

Last Monday, I got a very special email ping from a med school I applied to. An invitation to interview at their school! I looked over the email, to make sure I was reading it right. I should call within 2 weeks to make a date... I called within 10 minutes. The other minutes were spent calling my parents. The other was trying to get some advice from my younger bro.

I called and spoke to a very sweet lady who informed me that a cancellation occurred for Monday, and I gladly took it. As I spoke to her, I was already looking up flight details. She offered two spots, morning or afternoon. At first I accepted the afternoon before I realized my blunder. Crap!! There's not many spaces left! I should take the morning! I politely asked to change the interview to the morning. Done. Bingo bango. I have an interview....
