Comments on the Application Process

I graduated from Yale in the spring of 2006, and I began medical school at Johns Hopkins in the fall of 2006.

I don't have that much to say, since I applied to school five years ago. Now I've finished up the med school application process, which was somewhat more intense.

Of course, when I applied to college things were simpler; Yale's acceptance rate is now 8.6%, which is ridiculous. Good luck to everyone applying to college.
