Have any of you actually met someone else from SDN in med school? (other members, or even adcoms)
Random but seems interesting to find out.

In some cases it is pretty obvious which SDN poster someone is when you meet them in person. People are generally a lot less anonymous than they think they are. There are two people in particular who I have recognized at interviews after less than 5 minutes of chatting, and they might have recognized me as well. We didn't really say anything at the time (see porn analogy above), but they were neat small world moments from the interview trail that might come up later.Don't SDNers care about anonymity?
Lol, med school conversations about SDN are kind of like conversations about porn.
Everyone looks at it, but no one wants to admit it.

Then you might want to change your sig, if you really are quoting your classmates, esp. since you are a URM since there aren't that many in the class.I'm pretty sure nobody knows who I am, if you do, please PM me so I can rectify the situation.

Except the people in your class who peruse SDN, will see and recognize someone saying those quotes, recognize it's someone in their class and realize who it is since you've said you're a URM.Ehhh, nobody on SDN knows who I am
Sure, I knew who several of my classmates were on SDN. Also a couple of my residency classmates and my current boss.Have any of you actually met someone else from SDN in med school? (other members, or even adcoms)

I'm curious how this works. Did you out yourself like, "Hi, I'm Narmerguy on SDN, and I like turtles!" or something?One of my good friends in my class I met on SDN. It was actually nice to know someone before arriving.

Has being known made you hesitate/think/stop you from writing/posting something you would have otherwise done? I see value in anonymity, because people will spout their thoughts, their racisms, and beliefs without worry for being judged. It's a good way to talk without social inhibitions.
Also, has anyone met anyone in real life on SDN?
Awkward.
I kinda assume most people know who I am but I've only had 1 person come out and say it to me. And this was after a few drinks.
Lol i totally would too. I've actually gotten drinks with 2 legit SDNers.Gah. I want a drink with touchpause13!

Lots, including several of the other mods. When I was interviewing for both med school and residency, I saved a ton of money by staying with fellow SDNers. Hosted some other people when they came to interview at my school, too. Something to think about for those of you who will be hemorrhaging cash on the interview trail this fall and winter.Also, has anyone met anyone in real life on SDN?
Some of us 2017ers are pretty tight and interact a lot outside of SDN (read: Facebook). Hell, I've met up with one of them twice for cheese steaks when they were in town.
WS is one of the people I've met.I've met a few here and there.

So weird, how do people figure it out? I understand how someone I know in real life would know who I am on SDN, but not with strangers.
