Medical Schools

We applied to Medical Schools this week! Tuesday was the first day that you could submit applications, so Brian got up early to submit them online. When he got online, it wasn't even open to submit yet, so he waited until after breakfast to try again. This time the submissions site was up and running. We did a double-check to make sure we had all the right schools and then clicked submit! 3 hours later, the application service had already processed his application (it usually takes 3-6 weeks)! These are the schools that we are applying to alphabeticaly, by location (funny how you can almost tell which schools have football teams just by looking at their logos):

Stanford Univeristy School of Medicine (Stanford, California)

University of California, San Diego, School Of Medicine (San Diego, California)

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (Baltimore, Maryland)

University of Michigan Medical School (Ann Arbor, Michigan)

Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Mayo Medical School (Rochester, Minnesota)
Washington University School of Medicine (St. Louis, Missouri)

Dartmouth Medical School (Hanover, New Hampshire)

University of Rochester School of Medicine (Rochester, New York)

The Ohio State University College of Medicine (Columbus, Ohio)

Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine (Portland, Oregon)

Vanderbilt University School of Medicine (Nashville, Tennessee)
Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, Texas)

Medical College of Wisconsin (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

Whew! That's 13 schools right there, over $500 in initial application fees (secondary applications are even more... can't wait!)

So basically, Brian says he'd be really excited to get into at least 11 out of the 13 schools (Wisconsin and Ohio are kind of back-ups as of right now). So let's hope he gets in somewhere! Not that it will be that difficult for him-- he scored in the top 1% on the MCAT and he has a 3.9 gpa. I think he will be just fine. Even still, keep us in your prayers!
