100% Phildelphia
We're moving to Philadelphia.
I didn't get into the New York school. I just heard yesterday. I was disappointed, but also relieved to know for sure where we're going. And we both love Philadelphia. I did prefer the NY school to the Philly school after my interview, but considering how competitive it is to get into medical school I am not allowing myself to complain. The Philadelphia school is a great school, and if I can't be thankful for my admission there then I'm probably going to be unhappy anywhere. There comes a point where you have to nix the pouting, because there's always going to be another school or another program that looks better.
Drew is working for four more weeks. Then we're going on a camping trip. Then we're packing up and moving. Seven or eight weeks from today.
We went out for dinner and margaritas last night to celebrate. There's a very small margin of error since I haven't heard from UC-Irvine. But they haven't even offered me an interview yet, so at this point the best I could hope for was a spot on their waiting list. Which means we'd be in Pennsylvania before I'd get an offer, at which point the lower tuition at UCI would be weighed against our excitement about our new city. I don't see UCI coming out the winner in that scenario.
It's over. Thank fucking god, because I couldn't take much more of this process.
