Julie's Life

Isn't life funny...

So last year I took the GRE so that I could go to grad school. I got a respectable score that ended up being one of the factors that gained me admission to UC Med School. I have not thought about it since I was accepted and did not even think that I would ever have to. Today I received an email that made me laugh at life. When you take the GRE you have the option of selecting programs you are interested in and having the GRE people send out to different schools that you took the exam. I did that, not really thinking about it.

The email was from the Chair and Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Dartmouth Medical School. Which in case people don't know, is an ivy league school. He said that he heard of me from the GRE people and invited me to look at their program and apply. I know that if I had applied before, I wouldn't have gotten in (or at least that is what I think) but it is a self-esteem booster that an ivy league school has contacted me. I have not responded but I will let him know that I appreciate the email but I already started at UC (maybe they can keep me in mind for a postdoc).

I have to go now so that I can see Harry Potter in IMAX and then come home and study until my brains leak out my ears.

Accio,
Juls
