It is true. After nearly a year of waiting, I finally got in to dental school this past Tuesday, Feb. 24th, 2009 - a day I will remember for the rest of my life.
The feeling I got when I saw that Tufts had made an offer to me was a combination of relief and elation. I applied to dental school in late June, but the application process really started in March. For the next 12 months, I took prep classes, shadowed, took a post-bac class, and visited schools (emptying my bank account in the process). It was not easy considering I was working, sustaining a long distance relationship, and living my life. But, now that I am going to be at Tufts, it was ALL worth it.
Right now, my only issues are that I have to figure out my housing situation and try to keep interested in work for the next 4 months. The latter will be the most difficult for me, since I have been feigning interest in anything work-related for almost two years. But, as long as the pay check keeps coming in, then I guess I can do it.
I mean, it is only 4 months. Considering how far I have come and what I have done, that really is nothing.
