Getting Into Medical School: A First Hand Account
Jonathan from Dominican University of California | Apr, 14th 2008

As I start this blog on September 1, 2007, I'm just beginning my senior year as a pre-medical biology student. My goal is to become a medical doctor soon after. From the books and testimonials I've read, there are many tricks of the trade, do's and don'ts, and general info you don't get anywhere except from the source. I don't know everything yet, but I plan to live it. And maybe one day I'll be one of those sources. This is my journey to Medical School. My name is Jonathan.

Teresa
Teresa from University of California San Diego | Sep, 10th 2008

Teresa is a Communication major at the University of California, San Diego who will one day live out of a cardboard box. (But you can bet it will be decorated in pink rhinestones.) She frequently regrets her choice of major and has quarterly panic attacks about switching into something else, unfortunately she is a firm believer in the philosophy, but I've come too far. She is frightened by her parents' acceptance of her ambitions, because this means two things: A) they truly believe she's incompetent of majoring in what they perceive to be anything of substance, and B) they really do expect her to marry rich. She apologizes for selfishly utilizing this blog to discuss her favorite topic (herself, if that wasn't blatantly obvious) and to preoccupy herself in the wee hours of the morning. It is about anything and everything, moderately censored, of course, as she is rather aware that publishing her personal life on the internet is not one of her brightest ideas. Despite this knowledge, her tendency to oppose whatever her common sense suggests is powerful. Her one and only privacy tactic is to imagine the reactions of her 2nd grade teacher, her brother, and a creepy middle-aged pedophile in Kansas before she hits publish.(If you happen to be the creepy middle-aged pedophile in Kansas, Teresa happens to have a prosthetic leg and a horrible case of bacne, seriously, you're not interested.) If the envisioned facial expressions are of an acceptable level of horror, then the entry stays.

Medical School: A Non-Traditional Approach
Jonathan from Dominican University of California | Nov, 29th 2008

On November 20, 2008 I received word that I was granted acceptance into Ross University School of Medicine. As I write this, I'm 26 years old and it's been a long time coming. I'm so appreciative and proud of what I've accomplished these past 6 years to get me to where I am today. These recent years have been interesting to say the least and I can only imagine how interesting the next 4 years will be. This is my first hand account through medical school. My name is Jonathan.
