So… I’m going to be a doctor!

So I was rolling around in bed at 6:45am, and decided to check my email just for the heck of it….

Dear Joshua,

Congratulations!

On behalf of the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine, I am delighted to extend to you an offer of admission into the first year of the Doctor of Medicine Program in 2009-10.

An offer package, including your official offer of admission, will be arriving through regular mail shortly.

Didn’t get any other emails yet (since it’s so early and I don’t think anyone was expecting something at this time), but at this point, everything else is gravy as UofT (at least at this point) is my top choice.

Thanks again to everyone for their support! Will be back later tonight or tomorrow to post all the details from the day, how I’m feeling, etc.

    That’s amazing! Congratulations!!! I knew you would get in. Bet you’re gonna get an acceptance from all the other med schools too.

    P.S. Now that you’ve gotten in, I can ask the question I’ve always wanted to ask.
    If you had not been accepted, would you hang around and apply again next year, or did you have a backup plan for something else you wanted to go into?

    LOL DOCTOR JOSH LIU :)

    so now what are your plans?

  • Joshua

    Thank you so much everyone!!! :D

    I really didn’t expect to get this many comments, but wow, thank you thank you.

    Alice: If I hadn’t gotten in this year, I would have finished my fourth year at York and applied again this fall. Honestly though, I’m not sure how many times I would apply before I would give up, but I think that would depend a lot on person to person.

    Thanks again everyone, both for the kind words here, but also for everyone’s support this past year – it means a lot!
