Financial Aid
I received my financial aid letter today from OSU saying that I did not receive any scholarships, which means I will need to entirely fund my med school education with loans. I was hoping for some scholarships, but was not expecting any. I still consider OSU to be the right place for me despite the lack of financial aid. I think that the debt will be well worth the excellent education I will receieve at OSU.

Apartment Search
My apartment search in Columbus last weekend was successful. I found a great place to live next year. The complex has a pool, a nice lake, tennis courts, a workout room, and lots of other nice perks. I will only be a ten minute drive from OSUCOM.
I also found an awesome roommate. We had been talking some before meeting last weekend and we seem to have a lot in common. We're both pretty excited to move into the two bedroom apartment in August and start med school!
Having the roommate and apartment situation figured out is a huge relief! The next step is finding out what, if any, financial aid I will receive. The financial aid office will be sending out letters at the end of this week or the beginning of next week. I have no idea what to expect.

Case & Northwestern Decision and Update
I officially withdrew from Case Western's waiting list. I also received an email saying I was no longer being considered for Northwestern's class.
I plan on using this blog once I'm in med school as a way of keeping people informed about how med school is going and what it's like. Even though my search for a med school is over, I definitely will keep updating this blog. There just isn't a whole lot going on at the moment.
I'll be heading down to Columbus this weekend to start looking for apartments in the area. I've been busily trying to arrange appointments to see different apartments and I am hoping to find somewhere nice (but affordable) while I'm down there this weekend.
I'll be back in Columbus in two weekends (4/18) for what OSU calls "2nd Look Day". It's basically just a chance to see the campus and school again and talk with students. I'll be meeting future classmates as well as current OSUCOM students and learning a little bit more about the school. I may also be looking at apartments more that weekend if I need more time after this weekend.
