<p>howdy...</p>

<p>i was just wondering, what exactly are we supposed to write about for the essay about our "personal history". the HPME application asks about it, but i don't think they want a whole biography...do they?</p>

<p>Aren't you a little late though? Some people are already having interviews scheduled. Are you sure the deadline hasn't passed?</p>

6

<p>yeah, wasn't it 1/1??</p>

7

<p>they didn't get my essay for some reason.</p>

8

<p>i know for sure that they lengthened to deadline a couple of days. I just talked about what experiences had made me realize that medicine was the path for me.</p>

9

<p>Hmmm...how do u know they lengthened the deadline?</p>

10

<p>I was emailed by one of the heads of admission for the program. She politely told me that it was lengthened a week or so in order to receive some late applications.</p>

11

<p>Hmmm, so I guess my guidance couselor got the idea from them that they do rounds, and if you are still under review, that means you haven't been rejected yet, some people of which they have already put in the reject pool.</p>

12

<p>Btw, whitechoclate, so were there only a select group of ppl that got this email? Like, maybe for Hurricane Katrina or something? It seems like no one knew about this</p>

13

<p>no, I live in ohio. I had asked her for a grace period of two days because my couselor left out a rec and I needed a couple days to mail it. The lady came back and said they had lengthened it a couple of days so do not worry. I do not know if they held this against me, but prob not. Has anyone been contacted about an interview and lives in the Midwest or Northeast?</p>

14

<p>Cool, I live in Ohio too! So far I don't know of anyone in my area that got the interview yet. Do you have a screen name btw? Where exactly are you in Ohio?</p>

15

<p>in the cleveland area. how about you? Yeah I am pumped about the program but I have a small shot so who knows!</p>

<p>So I heard if you call, some people have already heard that they are rejected...maybe they're done.</p>
