2015-16 Med School Applicants and their Parents

Well DD2 got into med school and a good one at that. She was rejected from her alma mater (big flagship in the west - think OR, UT WA, CO) but is extremely happy with where she was accepted. White coat was early August and she’s settled in with roommates. Drove across country with me in her car stuffed to the brim.

Major bombshell - DD1 graduated with her BSN with honors and got a prestigious ER residency job at a Level 1 trauma center at an academic hospital. She has now decided to go to med school! She has better grades than her younger sibling but has not taken Ochem biochem or Physics. Will need MCAT too. So she is either going to enroll in a local university to finish prereqs or move to another town and enter a post-bacc with linkage next fall and is going to continue working nights. She worked full time as a nursing tech in nursing school full time so I think she’ll be able to handle it.

So we get to do this again but with more knowledge this time.
