Robbie's big news...

After years of trying to get into medical school, I finally got accepted. We are headed to University of Toronto (actually a suburb called Mississauga) for at least the next four years. We feel so happy and grateful. After not getting in for the past two years, I decided to apply one more time. In hopes of still reaching my dream of becoming a doctor without having to retake the NEW MCAT, I made sure to cast the net VERY wide. I applied to a TON of schools!!! Today as we reflected back on the past year, we decided it would be fun to look up a few stats.


In 2015 I applied to 41 schools in Canada, Australia, and the United States (14 D.O and 27 M.D, if you want to get technical).


Of those 41 schools that I applied to, I was invited to interview at 20 of them (9 D.O and 11 M.D).


Of the 20 offered interviews, I went to 14 of them (6 D.O. and 8 M.D.).


Of the 14 interviews I went to, I was offered admission into 11 schools 

 6 D.O:

AT Still University SOMA (Arizona), Midwestern (Arizona), University of Northern Texas HSC (Texas), ACOM (Alabama), DMU (Iowa), WesternU(California)

5 M.D:

 Texas A&M, Texas Tech in El Paso, U of Alberta, U of Toronto, U of Queensland

Thank you for everyone that has prayed for us over the years! We have received countless hours of help (the vast majority from Julie and Brian - thank you!) reading and re-writing essays. We feel that your faith and prayers have made a huge impact in us being accepted this year. We look forward to our upcoming adventure, and hope that we will have visitors. 

Love, Robbie
