I only applied to 6 schools which is apparently way below average (I think the average is like 13 or something). Yeah, the waiting game is pretty much the worst thing - but I'm pretty sure I should hear back about that interview by the end of this month.
I'm actually terrible at drawing horses so no.

Not super big on purple (though I do have a nice-looking purple dress shirt) but I do like orange.

Neat! So you can work as a technician with a biochemistry B.S.? Or did you go for a masters or something?
Nice! I'm taking neuroscience this semester, and it's really interesting! I can't say I love biochemistry though, haha.
Ah, "tech" in that context actually refers to
this position. It's not glorious or fancy work but it is important and I really enjoy it. It's an excellent way to learn how to interact with patients, which unfortunately seems like a skill that some doctors lack.
I've always been pretty interested by anything sciencey, though I wasn't big on chemistry up until university. My freshman chemistry professor (whose lab I ended up working in for two years) was a Nobel laureate and an
excellent teacher, so that probably helped a lot.

Just schools in the States. I did consider something in surgery at one point but I'm currently refraining from deciding what field to go into, since I know that many med students change their minds completely when they hit their clinical rotations.
