Doctor Dave

A Dave update, because I seem to dominate this blog...

     


 Dave is happy and healthy, working for Altius Test Prep (an MCAT prep course), finishing up his last semester of classes, and trying to stay sane while he waits for news from Medical Schools.  Also suffering from severe Super-Senioritis, playing fun iphone games, reading technology blogs, and discovering new music through his indie dance Pandora station.  A newly discovered exercise outlet for him is Racquetball. He loves it!  Oh, and lest I forget, :) hanging out with me. We like to eat yummy food (Asian or Mexican inspired preferably) and watch fun movies. We are spending a lot of time with family these days too. We want to squeeze in every last minute possible until we leave this summer.  




On another note, we have had many kind, thoughtful people ask us to keep them updated about Dave's application to Medical School, and I thought this would be an efficient way to let anyone interested know a little bit about the schools he's interviewed at, and where things are in the application process.

This has been such an exciting, stressful, humbling process, and we are grateful for our supportive family and friends that have helped us and cheered us on. We are optimistic and hopeful and can't wait to be able to fill you in on the rest!

  5. This is great news. Thanks for the update! Our vote? Hopkins, naturally. Though any of those East Coastee schools would be cool. So don't be too cool for school
