Speaking of Iowa....

So I got a message from my brother Jared today. He's the one applying to medical school right now. Since today is May 15th he just hit that deadline where you can no longer hold multiple acceptances and you have to pick one medical school. And the winner is: The Roy J. and Lucielle A. Carver College of Medicine. Cool eh? Just thinking abou him going to Iowa and starting medical school is bringing back tons of memories of our first year. Hopefully his set of study-buddies will be a great as mine.....

I do wonder how different his experience will be without Ephgrave and Mandel....oh well, at least he'll still have Joel Gordon...........yikes.

Speak of Iowa, I meant to respond to Chad's post about the Iowa match list--like 3 mo. ago now. Interesting list. Here's my take.
- Most impressive: (tie) Sissy B. doing oto at Iowa or that chick that got into Derm up here at U of M or Mark Abbott doing radiology at Duke.
- Least suprising: (tie) Sissy staying at Iowa, Matt Knudsen staying at Iowa. Matt Karfin doing pathology.
- Most suprising: (tie again) Matt Karafin doing pathology at Hopkins, Terri Nordin going to New Jersey ( always thought she'd stay in the midwest). Nazee Jabarri doing general surgery.
- Creepiest: remeber a certain classmate of ours, an asian guy who extended a year, the same guy who was caught multiple times looking at "naughty" pictures in the computer lab, this same person is now going into.......Ob/Gyn. Just typing that makes me feel icky.

Congrats to your brother, Rob! Is he up to the challenge to follow in the footsteps of Mayor Jackson and carry on your legacy? That could be a lot of pressure...
