please create an MDApplicants account. As it stands now, the only people on MD applicants are 4.0's with 45T's.

personally, i just like to look at other peoples. to a degree it makes me feel better if only to see that all of the crazies here on SND who legitametly have 4.0s and 45Ts arent applying to the same schools i am!!! :laugh:
but i do like searching for people with my similar stats to see how they have faired. i mean, obviously theres a hell of a lot more that goes into this process than a couple numbers and a loose list of ECs but.... i still like to peruse.

number 2124, baby
 
What do you feel is less than perfect? Say, 3.7 and 32, or more like 3.3 and 28? Honestly, I'm just curious.

nearly every sig i've clicked has been around 3.9 and >35. Its like a big sign that says "LOOK HOW FECKIN SMART I AM!!!"

So essentially, MDApplicants is being used as a way for people with high stats to brag rather than to give us a general idea of who is getting in where and with what stats.

Where's your link, EvoBevo?

That's certainly not the fault of the applicants with high stats. If those with "less than perfect" stats would bother making the account, then you would get a general idea of who is getting in where with what. But, if only those with high stats are confident enough to make an account, then of course the profiles are going to be top-heavy. But I think that is what you are trying to address here, right?
 
ok, you guys have convinced me to post up my sub-par stats...

good luck! :luck:

I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just saying that it is the way it is because applicants with lower stats arent posting - so lets post! I've made mine, I'll find the link shortly and post it:)
 
I thought you had to finish an application season to post on MDApplicants. Otherwise I'd be more than willing to slap my 3.6/ 31L up on there.
 
I've tossed my less than stellar numbers in as well. Enjoy!

Fermata, I'm going to keep an eye on you this cycle - we're in a similar boat, I think.

BTW, I've loved your tag line-- "I'm a fermata - hold me!" --since I first saw it.

Whoops. A little misunderstanding.

I was guessing if that was Evo's profile. :D

You should do fine. You destroyed the MCAT, dude. :D

It's also funny in that the only PM's I ever get are compliments about my signature. Heh. :D

darko... that same kind of sh@t was pulled on mccain... i find it hard to believe that kerry's "questionable" military service (along with his flipflopping) is the worst thing they can find about this guy.. just seems to me like bush is getting desperate
 
I've had mine posted but I am placing most of my hope eggs in the D.O. basket, applying to some of the upper tier schools was like buying over-priced lottery tickets.
 
Well my stats aint bad, but they aint that great either.

Curiousity finally got the best of me and I had to google "fermata." My musical knowledge is limited at best, but thats good. :)

Yes. My plan to turn the pre-allo forum into a bunch of band geeks is progressing nicely. :D

Yep. I think that we are.

I've got my eye on you as well. ;)

Good luck with everything. :luck:
 
Adam, im definately keeping an eye on yours this cycle.

Its not every day you see a guy from a Big Ten school with 3.5-3.6 BCPM and AO, good BS and PS and crappy VR and WS with solid research experience.

Matter of fact, so far its just me and you. In regards to your Creighton comment, do you know what other schools do that?

hey, let's start talking about dinosaurs... i like raptors, theyre so cool
 
I like amoebas, they are like dinosaurs except not at all. Anyone dislike Paul Harvey? One time in the fourth grade me and my best friend Ben were at lunch and we gave this ******ed kid 50 cents to eat mashed potatoes and peas in his chocolate milk. I thought I was gonna gag but it was funny and everyone thought we were cool. I borrowed my cousins game boy once and dropped it and it broke and I had to mow the lawn all summer to buy him a new one.

you mean my 200 units of 3.4 isn't doing its job? damn.
 
My favorite stuffed animal when I was a kid was a stegosaurus.

I named him: Stego.

I also had a stuffed white bear.

I named him: White Bear.

Boy I was a creative kid.

My four year old has a stuffed puppy he calls Box, and some kinda ninja fighting action figure he calls Car.

What can I say, the kid likes nouns.

my favorite stuffed animal was this little bear... his name was "ducky"
 
I have a dog named Frog and a cat named Mouse.

And I created my MDApplicant account, voila, lowered the average. :D

(Just to return to the topic.)
 
I have spent the last four years working with mice, which I refer to as "the little *ssholes." Recently, my mom purged her house of my remaining toys from when I was a kid and sent them to me. My favorite stuffed animals as a kid were a pair of hugging mice. Oh, the irony....

You should buy him a stuffed boxcar. That'll scar him for life!

Sadly I didn't have many stuffed animals when I was young...my parents figured since I was an only child, they'd buy me a whole bunch of boardgames for 2 players or more :rolleyes:

I had a blast playing both sides of checkers...but hey, I always won :D I learned how to have a party all by myself!
 
I thought that MDapplicants was only for people who have completed their application. I was going to wait until after the process.
