Born in Chicago, grew up in a small town in Wisconsin (like 600 people small) and now I go to school in Madison, WI.

Yeah Lady in Red!! I am so happy for you!!!! :clap: :) And don't worry, your're not a Cookie. :D

WAY TO GO DARKMATTER :clap: :D :cool:

Nikki, I'll see you at Northwestern! I'm so excited. I get to meet my first fellow SDNer. :D

I'm half Guatemalan but you wouldn't necessarily know it by looking at me. There were two hispanic guys at my interview at Loyola and there were only five of us that day. Otherwise, though, I haven't seen too many. They may just be like me though, not easily recognizable.

mpp, where did you get the data about hardest/easiest schools to get into from? Thanks.

Jargon, I guess my advice would be to choose the school you'll be the happiest at and have the least amount of regrets. It may not be worth it to go to Columbia if you are spending hours on the phone with your girlfriend instead of studying and would rather be in Arizona. On the other hand, if...

If you are planning on applying to med school within the next 2-3 years, I would advise taking the MCATs within the year. I took mine in the spring of my junior year and I couldn't believe how much gen chem I had already forgotten so I can only imagine that it would be even more difficult after...
