Thank you!! And I'm sure you are def going to get a letter too! Just be yourself, and show personality and be truthful with your answers. They all are really nice and take pride in knowing their students etc. Please keep me posted! As for paying for school, def gonna take out a loan, but I'm okay with that because I didn't have school loans in undergrad so if I have to this time around I'm going to try and take out the minimum. I hate debt! Lol. What about you? Also, any other acceptances? Are you really considering Samford? I know you had mentioned you also got a few other acceptances.

Yep, loans for me too. I hate private loans, but I guess there's no choice. Debt is no fun, but luckily, we'll be clear of it in no time! I'm still on the fence with Samford (mostly just about moving to Birmingham), but it would definitely be nice to be accepted. We'll see how this all plays out. What'd you think of Birmingham and the school?

Yep I totally agree! I definitely understand about moving to Birmingham, but I'm looking at it like where ever I go even if it's not the best location I can always leave as soon as I'm done, so I'll have to sacrafice for a little over a yr....but I know change can be a little scary, especially coming from two different states like Cali and Alabama lol. The campus was really pretty and easy to find once I got into town. It's located in their "suburbs" lol so it was in a good area and just a beautiful campus, I will give them that. The campus seemed a little quiet, but I didn't take a tour or walking around much. Just observed while I was ther for that hour and a half. It's always great to have options. I'm still waiting to hear back from a cple more schools so hopefully that will be soon.

Hi! So how did your interview with Samford go?

Hi there!! Interview went great *phew* but I still haven't heard back from the school. It's kinda freaking me out! I think there might have been some concern with the pre-reqs I still have left-research and religion. I'm taking patho now (hate that class!). Have you made any decisions about Samford? I know you're still waiting on some more schools, but it would be great if we all went to school together! My other friend applied too and is waiting to hear good news as well! Keep me updated! And thanks for asking about the interview :)

Glad to hear you feel good about it! I knew you would be fine :-) Was it weird doing it via skype? And that is so cool to hear about your friend that also applied! Hopefully we all get to be there together! Did you send them a thank you card or email after the interview? As for the prereqs that you still have to take, did they say you can take them in the summer? I still have to take the patho class too ugh, if I decide to go to Samford! I'll probably take it with them online because I don't plan to relocate until August. Keep me posted on when you and your friend hear back!! I'm still waiting to hear from the other 2 schools unfortunately so I'm praying I hear something soon!

Yay I'm glad Samford is a top choice for you. It's mine as well! When you get the chance, let's exchange emails/numbers!? I need to make my decision soon. I have to pay for the other school by the end of this month.
