He's done it again!

I can't believe how many responses Garrett is getting back from medical schools! Like I've said a million times, I am so proud of him and how hard he has worked. For his last two interviews he's been told he's in the first interviewing group — that seems pretty awesome to me!

Here's to hoping that next month he gets in to some of them. :D

Well, this time he's heard back from the Medical College of Wisconsin. For all you who know your medical school stuff, this one is an MD. Garrett is the first McCoy boy to be invited to interview at an MD school — so we might be a little excited.

Honestly, when it comes to choosing between DO and MD, we don't mind either. They both have their merits and they both offer a fine education for a wonderful career. But we're still excited.

So, Garrett will head to Wisconsin for his interview on September 28. I'm excited to see how he does.

As for the count:

Primaries: 32
Secondaries: 29 received, 20 sent
Interviews: 5
Acceptances: Please come soon Oct. 15th (with good news!)

And in they come rolling

Garrett is doing super amazing when it comes to medical school interviews! He now has four, and I'm a super, super proud wife.

So, as far as you know, Garrett has already interviewed at North Texas and has an interview scheduled with Kirksville.

But now...

Garrett has been invited to interview with BOTH A.T. Still University, School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona and Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine.

So let me break it down for you.

A.T. Still University, School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona

This school is by the place Garrett's brother, Justin, went to school. It would be nice to attend there because we'd be by family, which is always a plus. We think we have a semi-good chance here, because Kirksville (the other A.T. Still campus) also wanted us. Here's to hoping!

Garrett will interview there on the 19th of October.

Now the next one.

Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine

This school is the same school Garrett's other brother, Jordan, attends right now. A major selling point for this school is the fact that  Garrett and I are both pretty familiar with it. We have both already toured it — which is something we haven't done anywhere else — and, because Jordan goes there we know that they treat their students really well.

Another thing we like about it is that it is three hours away from Garrett's family (well, it's about one minute away from his brother and sister-in-law, but I mean the rest of his family). I know Garrett really wants to go back to Spokane for at least a little bit, so it would be nice to spend a few years there.

Garrett will interview there on the 12th of October.

Now for the count:

Primaries: 32
Secondaries: 29 received (I think), 20 sent (I think this number has settled)
Interviews: 4
Acceptances: 0... but we're anxiously awaiting Oct. 15th
