Mother Teresa

I’m working on the AMCAS, the medical school common application. Egad but it’s an odd thought to think this time next year I could be in med school. Entertaining, really, since I don’t feel like I have much of a chance, but it’s nice to dream. I keep finding things I need to do for it, things to get…maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. I’ve already promised myself that I would use my savings to pay fo the app fees. My GOD but they’re expensive.
But as someone at a med student forum pointed out, I have zero chance of getting in if I don’t try. Slim is better than none. Of course, there are also people on there who talk about applying to 25 (yes, twenty-five) schools. That’s nearly a thousand dollars just to say, Hey, I’m interested in your school. Oy.
Think I’ll pray now.
