black text= original checklist. red text= updates + added tasks & details

• Take the pcat.
• Pray and wait for your score.
• Re-take PCAT just for good measure
• Receive your score.
• Still waiting on the second score. Please mailman, will you bring it tomorrow?
• Pick several schools to apply too.
• USN, U of H at Hilo, TJU, UOD, UK, Mercer ... just to name a few of the 10.
• Send them your transcripts, pcat score, letters of recommendation, fill out the application, pay for the application, fill out a supplemental application, & pay for the supplemental application.
• Pray and wait you get called for an interview.
• so far...Got an interview at USN and U of H at Hilo!
• If you get an interview, buy a new suit and airplane ticket.
• ... or take your suit to the dry cleaner. much cheaper.
• Smile and do your best in the interview.
• USN interview, done. Hawaii's in a couple weeks.
• Pray and wait.
• this whole process is a matter of waiting.
• waiting .....
• Receive a letter in the mail 2-4 weeks later. or phone call
• Pray, as you are tearing it open, that you got accepted.
• If you are accepted pay the chair holding fee and pray to say thank you.
• If you are not accepted pray that another school will accept you.
• Repeat this process with as many schools as you can afford.
• Pray a lot + a lot more.
• Make your final decision between offers & pack up everything you own and move for 3-4 years.

this process has been one of waiting.waiting.waiting. but I have to say that it is getting more exciting every step of the way. We are actually doing this, not just talking about it. Each time I wish the waiting was over, and that the real adventure was starting I try and remind myself that this is part of the adventure. Plus, I always wanted to be a secretary right? :)
