Frustration

Alright I need to vent a little bit. We received a letter from U of U on Saturday (the medical school we were really hoping to get into) well don't get your hopes up because it was a no-again. Honestly I really don't know what these darn schools are looking for. Cory has the grades the mcat score, the service, the experience. I just don't understand what they want. I told Cory to start telling people that he's one quarter Hispanic or something and then maybe he would get in. It's just so hard to take because Cory has jumped through all the hoops and works so hard, it just sucks that someone else decides whether or not he gets to become a doctor. What really breaks my heart is that today one of the Dr's. in town that Cory is close to called the Dr. in Utah that interviewed Cory to find just exactly why he didn't get in. Well the Dr. was actually surprised that Cory didn't get in and said that he was very impressed with Cory. He also said that he could not have given him a better score on the interview. So what the heck!? We are just a little confused right now. Anyway I don't mean to be so depressing I just had to get it off my chest. So now we will embark on a new adventure. We need to move somewhere so that Cory can continue to beef up his application. We will probably go somewhere to get residency in a state with a lot of medical schools. Its sad to say but there is nothing left for us at home. It will be hard to move but I think it will be the best for our family, and we will try again next year!:)

Amy, I don't know exactly what you are going through...but I do know about wanting something so bad and then having it fall through. I am sorry you guys are having to deal with that right now. It really does suck and I feel for your frustration...not to mention Cory's. But (you might not really want to hear this right now) I have also learned that things do work out. I really do believe and have complete faith that things happen for a reason. Maybe there is something better or someplace that you are really supposed to be that U of U had to fall through so that you would make the next move. Just some thoughts. I have just seen things work like that in my life as Josh and I have bounced around a lot. Sometimes things make no sense at all, then in hindsight you can see why things worked out the way they did. I know you guys will be okay and will definitely find where you are supposed to be and eventually you will see things work out for you!! Just "shrug it off" and know Cory is worth it, he has a lot to offer, and someplace will find that out!

Sorry...if this has seemed like "the mom" talk or whatever. But I guess I was just trying to say I feel for you and if you need someone to go throw bricks through windows with you I am totally up for it!!!;)

Come to Mississippi with me and be my partner in opening up my boutique!!

Oh, I'm sorry, that sucks! For us too! SLC was the closest to us! Now you're going to move to Texas or some crappy place like that! Haha, way to make you feel better huh? The good news is, he will get into med school somewhere and soon and then you'll get to start that chapter of poorness and massive debtness. :) But it will happen. So the only thing I can think of to cheer you up is, you better come here and play with us!

I remember that the U is extrememly hard to get into, especially if you are from ID or UT. Right where we live now, there are a lot of medical students that come here for school because it isn't as competitive as the U. Just from hearing through the grape vine, I'm sure they would jump through hoops to get Cory here. If you want to look into it, it is Midwestern University in Glendale, AZ. Good luck!
