Hello;
I just want to follow up on my previous threads. Back in November I applied to few Osteopathic schools and just recently I received 2 interview invites. Went to one so far and .....
Well, today I received official letter of admission into Lincoln Memorial University DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine !!!!!
Starting in August I am going to be medical student!
Still finishing 2 classes towards my bachelor in liberal arts ( and one exam) .
I want to say to all fellow test takers - if You have a dream - just follow it ! and do not let anybody say that something is impossible !
Impossible for a first generation emigrant to get to graduate school? Well it took me 9 years since coming to US to learn English, and finish all classes( even more than required) , but it is possible. Was it easy ? not at all. When I was doing my LPN school, there was a time that I was homeless for 6 months. January to July of 2006, and this winter was called, believe me, I remember it well while sleeping in my car, studying at Starbucks , taking showers at my work(nursing home) or at 24 hour fitness club. I had 2 bags in my trunk - one with clean clothes and one with dirty clothes, all my books were on back sit) But t was "do or die" for me.
Later on my current father in law let me sleep at his home.
Impossible to get to medical school after Excelsior? well I just proved it it is possible !!!!
Good luck everybody and thanks for all advices.
