Haha. yeah but its Thanksgiving break rn so chill :p I calculated all the grades I need to scrape by with a 3.5 so that no one rescinds no offer of acceptance lol. Next semester I'm taking 13 credits and pretty excited for it. Drink all the alcohols.

It's high school again but you are of the age of consent and there is liquor. You will have the same cliques, etc, etc. Plan accordingly.

Joining the thread finally! I'll be working full time, maybe picking up another part time job and volunteering for the long 8 months to come. Crossing my fingers for a handsome financial aid package.

So so so happy to hear everyone's positivity and joy!!! I'm not on the forums much these days due to being busy with applications and interviews along with school and work.
Senioritis has hit me pretty hard in the face, but I keep on keeping on...
...I just don't want to write two research papers this week...
 
Anyone know if there's like a thank you letter or something to send after being accepted?
 
Most people send thank-you notes after the interview. Sending another after the acceptance seems excessive.

Boy, are my stress levels down after getting the acceptance.

We have like little less than 2 weeks left. We will get through this! Probably not with all A(s)/A+(s) but Bs and Cs are fair game now :p
 
Guess I get to join all of you on this bandwagon, wahoo! (3 weeks late, forgive me)

I actually have a lot of work left this semester (grad school, not undergrad), but next semester should be a vacation compared to this one.

When I got asked what's the first thing I was going to do once I got into med school, I said GO TO DISNEYWORLD, but I'm actually going in January during the winter break with my parents :D funny how things work out.

Can't wait to meet ya'll some day in the (probably not so near) future! :clap:

I guess because otherwise we would've had to join class threads for 2020, 21, 22, 23.... This whole process is unpredictable! :shrug:
 
How many of you guys took a gap year this year? I feel like my brain is mush from doing mindless tasks since mid-May and am worried about the lag period before I get back into my swing of actually learning things.

Maybe I'm just being neurotic.

Currently on my gap year! It makes me a bit more excited to learn things again, haha.

Absolutely I agree 100%. I feel like the most I've learned is different ELISA techniques... Then I realize a lot of my other knowledge is slowly leaking out of my brain due to lack of use.

I took many... I am sure mine will be a sluggish start! But information is information... I will find some way to cram it in there and liberally use duct tape if necessary... Hopefully it only leaks out after Step 1!
By the way...what in the world is that thing!! :bag:

I've been trying to learning Mandarin online haha (even though my family members speak Cantonese). Copying characters is strangely therapeutic.

I'm also in a gap year. I genuinely feel like my brain is turning to mush. But I can't seem to get myself to do something about it. I keep telling myself that binge watching all the interesting shows on Netflix will help me because it will save me from getting distracted once school starts.

Not to be an enabler or anything..... But, Person of Interest is really good. A lot of sass, action, and plain ridiculousness. Great looking cast, too.

Damn I must be doing my gap years wrong...I've been working (at a job I love tho) pretty much full-time and trying to finish research on this paper I've been working on for like 2 years UGHHHH it will get published one day but until then it is the bane of my academic life

Also doing a lot of rec league stuff because ain't gonna have as much time in med school. Also trying to not slide into a boring daily routine with my gf who I live with. Also trying to not be a nerd who only reads journal articles on public transportation. #lyfe

My boss and I have repeatedly tried to get research published / get more studies done for publishing...but our VP ignores us and uses budget as an excuse. (Our VP is absolutely inexperienced in the physiological/biochemical/chemical world. No freaking clue.)
So yeah, we twiddle our thumbs and waste away most days.
