The food was enough to bump Tulane in front of CU. Slightly. But enoughI also had tacos that literally melt in my mouth. And the school provided red beans and rice for lunch. Can't beat it!
This is probably the most sensitively-crafted email known to man.
Nothing like emailing your boss to ask if you can take another few weeks off work.
Any half-reasonable human being will understand how important this is. If anything, they should feel honored to have someone like you work there.Nothing like emailing your boss to ask if you can take another few weeks off work.
Thank you!
I'm salaried, so I feel really guilty for taking time off and still getting pay (yeah, yeah, cry me a river). 
Preachin' to the choir...Really glad I'm doing this while not in school, though. I think my studies would have tanked.

Seriously, you, Sunflower, and Penguin are machines! Kudos to you senior year applicants.

I am already getting worried as I have 4 Interviews within a month from now, hoping these 400 level math courses show me some mercy. Oh and working 20+ hrs a week..that too. I need to find a way to let them know I'm applying to medical school without getting me fired (not sure if they would do that though as I hold big responsibilities in the firm lmao but still).Preachin' to the choir...
Yeah I tried to schedule my interviews closer interviews for Fridays as I have no classes, but I suffer by missing a full day of work (my poor bank account), however I scheduled my further ones for Mondays so I can drive down on a Sunday with minimal traffic, and that way I miss 1 class. But missing a day of this class can really take a hit so hopefully I can bounce back.
That must be fun though! But yeah I don't hear from my top choice until December and my interview is this Friday -___- soooo my semester is practically gone haha
I'm in a similar boat. I have 3 before the 15th and another 4 after that. It is so much fun thoughIt is fun and cool to see new places!!! But ~12 hour travel days are a bit taxing.
I hear you -- I am incredibly unlikely to hear from my top choice this semester, and my other top choice doesn't release decisions until December. My aforementioned hope may be a bit of a pipe dream but hey, it gets me through my jet lagged stupor

Yes! I can't wait to confirm how awesome sunflower18 isAnd one of your 3 is with me!! Woohoo!!
All y'all should be jealous.
Yes! I can't wait to confirm how awesome sunflower18 is
You already said we just have to ask you your favorite flowerHaha! If you can figure out who I am, that is!
That's karma for taunting the superior team
Thank you!
To make up for all my lost time I've been trying to work weekends... med schools just do not make it easy on us poor underlings. Really glad I'm doing this while not in school, though. I think my studies would have tanked.
I wouldn't!
Non-rolling and semi-rolling schools make the waiting that much worse
.
That's fixable, right?! I hope ...
I have a team. And I can't name more than 3 players on my roster-lol. I came in 2nd last year (the Peyton Manning magic!), but it looks like I'm going to suck this year. I missed the draft due to work obligations, so I'm not really into it this time around.
I mean who doesn't accidentally click on stuff?! That's just horrible...
And yet, I'm incredibly excited!
One of my classmates recently interviewed at Columbia, and he said the overall experience was very laid back.Heading to my Penn and Columbia interviews this week! Will post photos (of awesome food) in the spirit of this thread. First interview jitters
This is happened many times before and people haven't had a problem correcting it. Whether the school will mind or not for a silly error is another story, though.
ughhh I'm still waiting for the columbia calendar to move... so I can schedule my interview... preferably in november (It's non rolling, right?)Heading to my Penn and Columbia interviews this week! Will post photos (of awesome food) in the spirit of this thread. First interview jitters
Why is this a bad thing?
The struggle is reallllll
It's such a minor aspect of your overall education... I thought people would be more concerned about mandatory attendance/grading policies/clerkship quality/ability to explore subspecialties/etc.
So this is really why ppl study like crazy for years and rack up the EC'sJust very odd when someone does it at EVERY interview.

If you're gunning for neurosurgery, a personal cadaver or 4 is probably necessary.
I LOLED because it happened at all of mine.
So it seems that a good med student: cadaver ratio is a legitimate way to recruit rock star applicants. Fascinating... and hilarious...
Wow! Sounds amazing!! La Jolla must be breathtaking!
I will be visiting Philly in a few days and took an early flight so I have a chance to sight see a little before I settle into interview mode. Most of you are clearly better traveled and better foodies than I am, so do you have any suggestions for cool places to visit and/or foods to eat in the Center City/University City area? You'll have my stomach's thanks.
