Sethina, your diag of quiet is right!
I've been pretty much quiet on the forums...just busy with work at the hospital, getting the house ready to sell, need to move to med school, etc.!! Things are falling into place, of course, but with "moving mountains" effort...moving our family and household from PA to VA is doable, but definitely a big personal project!
For anyone in the application process, good luck! I hope all your work pays off! Take care...
