Ok, so I've taken several long posts to answer the simple question "where are you going to school?", and I think it's time to get to the point and then get back to writing more current posts. But, first there would not have been a choice to make without a second acceptance. So here we go. (This is going to be brief I promise)
So we were really excited about being accepted to LMU and as we awaited a letter from Ga-PCOM we were beginning to hope I wouldn't get accepted. Simply, so we wouldn't have the chance to make the wrong choice. Frankly, after the mediocrity of my MCAT score was mentioned at my interview I was not too confident that I would be accepted. But, on the Friday after Thanksgiving I received a letter from Ga-PCOM. I was sort of unsure what to expect or how to feel while opening it. I must say the personal call from the dean was the best way I could imagine to be notified of an acceptance, but as far as letters go this couldn't have gotten any better. I opened it and read..."Dear Mr. Pruitt, YES!!!" No explanation or lengthy, round-a-bout, beat around the bush answer. Just an emphatic YES!!. It was a good feeling to be accepted to a school with a 110 year history despite the fact that it presented us with a really difficult decision. We were very happy and vowed to soak in the moment and not think about our decision until Monday. (haha how do you think that went) Well lets just say it didn't, but I will skip all the details (that will be part of a later post but not necessarily soon). It's a very good story and I will tell it sometime. But to completely avoid a long story, after a few days and some painfully obvious "signs" we chose.................Lincoln Memorial University - Debusk College of Osteopathic Medicine (LMU_DCOM). I sent my deposit in and mailed a "thanks but no thanks" letter to PCOM and that was that.
Orientation begins July 26 so we will be moving in June most likely to Harrogate, TN. We are pumped! More to follow about LMU and Harrogate soon.
