Dear all,
Thank you for your continued prayer support and kind words to me. I am sorry I havnt given each of your the personalized responce your affection beckons.
I wanted to update you all on this endeavor of mine.
Over the past two months I recieved roughly 28 secondary appkications to the 38 schools I've applied to. Not a bad start. As things are now, I've not recieved any interviews. I've been put on hold at two schools, neither declined nor invited. I suppose its not bad news but its not good news either.
I've been tejected now from about 6 schools so that leaves rough 20 schools that are currently unaccounted for.
Now, today arrived,, the hold of the second school. These two schools are important though as todays' s was my top choice and very likely option given my competitiveness so I was disappointed to recieve this email of rejected for now, on hold possibly for later. Now for the first school, I was extremely qualified for academically considering my MCAT score and their requirement of a 22 to qualify. So, to be put on hold at two schools I felt I was fairly qualified seems like a sad affair as the rest of the schools I have not heard back from yet were tougher on their requirements and therefor less lilely to accept me.
While things are by no means over and God has the first, middle, and final say, I've begun contemplating where to go from here. Masters degree? Masterd , MCAT and try a third time for physician? Nursing program? Computer science (completely different field)? Since I do consider myself a father and a family man, I can't remain a student forever so I'm Praying if the Lord closes this door he direct me to the next available open one as I'd like to be able to provide for my family. I don't want to live with my parents forever, after all. This growing up business isn't an easy thing and I'm so greatful to have you all here to share my journey eith.
Thank you and God bless.
Alex
P.S. I typed this up on my phone so disregard the spelling and formating issues ;)

Dear All,
It appears I inserted foot into mouth. By some strange turn of event and more likely, God having his good laughs at my expense, though I don't mind since we are that close ;), it appears Liberty University did send me an interview and I fly to Virginia for the scheduled interview of October 13th. If anyone is in virginia and could pick me up from an airport, that be pretty cool. Otherwise, I can arrange, a taxi, i'm sure.
God bless,
Alex
P.S. Please keep me in your prayers for this interview, its the only one thus far and maybe the only one i get, period, but it only takes one! God willing, lots of mercy so its a good interview that gets me in!
Rene:
Hi Alex,
I live in Virginia but Liberty University is over 3 hours from where I reside, so I will not be able to pick you up from the airport. Sorry. :(
Irony of Ironies, Liberty University was founded by Jerry Falwell who was a "big time" televangelist over the last 30 years and a contemporary of John Hagee and Dr. James Kennedy. It is a University that proudly promotes it's "Christian" college education. Not that this should have anything to do with your decision to go there.
John from Kentucky:
Hey Alex,
Liberty University? Have you checked out their beliefs?
In your interview, be sure to have a clean cut, idiot Christian smile on your face (act like you've just had a lobotomy) and you should do well.
Tell them you would love to be an intern in an Ebola clinic in West Africa and bring Christianity to the heathens.
Do Not tell them that you do not believe in eternal hell fire. After all, this is a Christian university. Behave yourself.
John
