Results

A few schools have released results two weeks ago and a few more are expected to release results this week. UPCM released their accepted applicants for AY 2010-2011 and sad to say, friends of mine didn't get in (except one HS batchmate) . I guess that's how competitive it is. I'm slightly glad that I was cut at the first stage since it would've hurt more to be cut post-interview.

Surprisingly, PLM released the list for interview/those who passed the MCAT. I'd post the links to pictures of the list here but it would be nonsensical since the last interview schedule is tomorrow. It came on a Wednesday as one person from pinoymd PLM forum said. I just remembered the frustrations of waiting for those results which were postponed for weeks and days. Thankfully, the results were favorable.

Fast forward to a week later and our interview day arrived. Coincidentally, the 18th was also the day I had to report on my Biochem topic but I won't write about what Jill did to me! hahaha. Can't get over it... (as a half-joke to her). Anyways, after class, we went back to Mom and got ready for our interview at 1 pm.

Jill and I were both wearing long sleeve polo shirts. Oh my gosh. Super duper hot was the result of our choice. Ack. I was even more annoyed at the fact that I could've worn short sleeves when no other girl was wearing long sleeves. Hay. A lot weren't wearing interview attire. This post is taking much of my time to type when I should already be sleeping since we have class early in the morning tomorrow.

Unfortunately, the interviewer we got isn't a friendly one (very much unlike our UE interviewer). He didn't introduce himself so I'm not sure if the name we refer to him when Jill and I discuss it is correct. The interview was very brief and I won't go into details since I am trying to forget some aspects of it as well. I felt like I was a blubbering idiot. I said things that maybe shouldn't have been said and left things out that I think I shouldn't have. Haaay. Hopefully, God will make a way to make things work for us.

Oh, and second to the last thing before I end this post... we met lots of people during that short time. Current students and prospective students were obviously around and we were acquainted with some of them. Some med students, Jill and I have already met during the MCAT and others were new acquaintances. I was most excited about seeing my potential future classmates. I only had the chance to talk with a few of them since Jill and I busied ourselves with Harry Potter chapters (stupid thing to do, in retrospect.. should've just discussed the interview. Past is past.

Lastly, why o why can't I think of a good reply to "Tell me about yourself."

P.S. I really hope and pray that PLM, UST, and all the other schools my friends and I applied to would release their results next week and that the results will be cause for celebration! :D

Waiting

One of the hardest things for me to do is to wait. I really dislike waiting because I am impatient. I want to change this but I can't expect a drastic difference anytime soon.

So what am I waiting for? It's what hundreds of MDs-to-be are waiting for - the results. Ack. I hope my friends and I get accepted into our medschools of choice. So far, four of my college friends have schools to enroll in but more are still waiting. Most schools will release in a week or two. Hopefully, PLM is included here! Hahaha. That would just be the interview shortlist though and there would be another waiting period for the list of students qualified for admission.

I just really pray we'll all be able to enter this June and of course, do well in our respective schools.

I just keep myself occupied by reading, watching TV, and of course internet stuff. Right now, I enjoy tinkering with looks on the site looklet. Try it, it's fun! Still, because of these new distractions, I haven't been able to reread my old blogs and delete some parts. I just set them to private so no one else can read the embarrassing posts my childish self published years ago. I hope I can clean it up someday soon! Here's to hoping though. ;P
