Gotta admit. That's a pretty sexy strut right there.
But it was such a bad hair (a tail) day! :laugh:

"Only interested in ortho" LOL my bad guys
 
It would be really difficult for me to leave Florida, so I mainly applied in-state. Deciding between Miami, FIU, FAU, UCF, & USF. Places I thought I was definitely withdrawing from threw money at me and I'm really conflicted :(.

I love all the programs!
Count the money. Total it up against the love. Wisdom my gold-digging Grandma taught me.

Guess what, everyone? It's time for another edition of everyone's favorite soap opera (except of course for those who are starring in it)...

DUKE ADMISSIONS

They just re-re-rejected some people. Duke sure does have a knack for getting in that final shot, right before the buzzer.

It inspires confidence, doesn't it? No IT geniuses at Duke, I guess.

Lol did you get re-re-rejected and it made your decision easier?? (hopefully not)
 
There's no emoji to adequately describe Australopithekus making this post, so here's a picture of a certain Japanese fish that will do in a pinch.

That took me a minute!

Duke update for anyone who, like me, has an unhealthy fascination with their process: The director of admissions responded to an applicant about their triple rejection and said that they sent them out because some people hadn't received their decisions due to IT problems. If true, that means they think that there were people who had not heard back post-interview before today, despite being technically rejected in early March. Not only that, they must not have known for sure who those people were, since they sent rejections to people who had already heard (in some cases, twice). What a nightmare!

Edit: I feel a bit bad harping on Duke as people are committing to them. They're a fantastic institution of course, and you shouldn't feel embarrassed to be matriculating there (@Australopithekus?).

Congratulations!!!

You and @No Limits and @CTU Surgeon can work from the inside to make sure that next year, their admissions office matches the excellence of their other programs. ;)
Consider it done.

Edit: I actually would like to be student interviewer. Anyone else interested?

You were already outed to everyone in that fb group - the group description has all the names. No one on SDN not in that group knows who you are.
Oh, no, I get that. Outed was probably the wrong word. I just meant that someone else had released my decision while I was second-guessing it.

I tried to write a response to this last night but my phone crapped out--I guess it didn't post. A day late here, but I am so, so happy that you followed your heart, @BengaliBrat!

"The moment when one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too."

Edit: And of course there's a lovely end-of-cycle essay on her MDApps.

Thank you so much, @breakintheroof ! I think that I will also be happy with my choice. And I LOVE your quote. :shy:
