Great news everybody! After months of waiting on the waitlist and pestering poor Dr. McManus I got the call from him telling me that I have been ACCEPTED TO COLUMBIA COLLEGE OF DENTAL MEDICINE! I'm so happy to hear this, especially since I graduated from UVa just 24 hours ago.
Let this be a lesson to you guys out there. Even though I didn't have the best GPA, I made up for it with my DAT, extracurriculars, perseverance and most importantly, a positive attitude. More to come on this developing story :)
....so happy
wow, congratulations!!! that's SUPER impressive. i was wondering, do you know any fourth years who graduated this spring 2010 who got into a very competitive medical school such as Columbia who have a pre-med blog similar to your pre-dental blog? i'm a uva pre-med student who is looking for a blog like yours as a resource! your blog looks incredibly helpful and encouraging. thanks so much for your help if you could point me to another blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Sadly I dont know too many people who went to nationally-renowned medical programs outside of virginia so I don't know if I could help you there. As far as blogs go, try stalking Student Doctor Network's allopathic section
