If it eases your nerves at all, most people don't really secure housing until April or May. It's hard to secure housing in a rural area where housing only becomes available once 2nd years leave. Patience, my little ones
It was indeed an intentional comment, since I had picked up on the fact that you were a non-trad previously, no worries. It is weird though, the unspoken hierarchy that comes into play once you're in school. People who are very much your junior becoming your mentor....some of my most favorite classmates though are the ones that deem themselves something like the OMC or OMG, for old man's club/group. So I'll keep my 100 bucks, thankyouverymuch

Coming to medical school as an older student, while younger people mentor me is nothing. I joined the military late too. Now THAT was humbling, having 20 year old guys who out ranked me giving me orders...lol. Luckily I picked up rank very quickly and so my rank eventually caught up with my age.
But I have no problem humbling myself to learn from those younger than me. So I will join the OMG and will gladly learn from those who have wisdom to impart....
Just wanted to jump on here and spread my good news. Dean Stowers called me yesterday afternoon! Looks like he is still making those phone calls, I imagine it's fun for him to hear our excitement when we get accepted. Although he was probably confused when I burst into tears. Tears of JOY though friends!!! Good luck to those others who are waiting, good things are to come I promise!!!

Thank you! It's my second year applying and my first acceptance! Weight has been lifted off my shoulders!
Poland is that you?!
Ditto. :/
Dude...you WON'T be alone. My classmates breed like rabbits it seems
Read the interview feedback on here. Be yourself.
It'll give you a feel for what the school is like, which is always a plus when interviewing.Yup. Alternate list. <sigh>
Head up! That list will be moving more than normal this year I suspect.

That's what I hear, I'm super excited to hear about my daughter's playdates via text message from my soon-to-be estranged wife! Hooray for med school! (yeah some of that may have been sarcasm, but I really am excited for both school and classmates with spouses and kids)
Haha, well 2014 certainly has the OMG to learn from....however, I can't say I've noticed a similar group in 2015 unfortunately. Maybe your class will carry on the tradition from my class
Ha, ha if you any of you guys are older then I will gladly step aside
I turned 40 in January! Been out of the Navy for 17 years and being doing PT for nearly 13. Hey, it's all in fun. I can humble myself with the best of them.
I know of at least 1 50+ person in 2015 and I think some of the guys in my class are pushing 40, so it's all good
Although them saying they won't fill all the seats is a little confusing to me... I understand they only want to add the most qualified applicants... but she said they may not fill open seats? Hmm. Looking at it from purely a business standpoint, I would think they would want to fill all of the seats, because if they don't, that's just lost $$ for them.. I'm no dean of a med school though.The waitlisters have their fingers crossed for this.
