Pimp your MDApplicants profile

paul411 · Jul 14, 2011

Good news everyone.

I've made an MDApplicants profile code generator which will allow you to format your MDApplicants profile like this.

Enter all the information you want in the page and press the Generate code button. Paste the generated code in the "Brief Profile" section of your Update Demographics page. You can also drag-and-drop sections to arrange them. The rest should be pretty self-explanatory.

Note: tested only in Chrome 12 and Firefox 5 (doesn't work in IE

)

Also, a reminder to create an MDApplicants profile to track your application if you haven't already -- it will be immensely helpful to future applicants.

Oh sure, you do this after I had to go through and code it manually.

It builds character.

You invented a device that makes you read the above text in Professor Farnsworth's voice?

NickNaylor · Jul 14, 2011

Saw this on your MDApps and thought, "what the... did I miss out on this?!" Glad you made it public. I'll definitely be using this to make my MDApps more reader-friendly.

Charles Darwin · Jul 14, 2011

Much more aesthetically pleasing!

bucks2010 · Jul 14, 2011

props - will implement, though prob after the cycle is over

Medbits · Jul 14, 2011

This is what I did not have in mind...I don't wanna do this manually...Isn't there like a wordpress plug in or something!!

stefspets · Jul 14, 2011

I don't care so much for the code generator as much as I do the thread starting with "good news everyone!"

Mithril · Jul 14, 2011

I want to do this but I don't want to look like a gunner.

911 Turbo · Jul 14, 2011

Whoa...I saw the layout on some people's MdApps, looks totally badass.

Nicely done.

Making your MDApps easier on the eyes is gunner material?

Medbits · Jul 14, 2011

No. It's not good enough for me. I want to make my mdapps profile have nivo sliders and javascript..etc.

Right, easier. It's already pretty easy as it is. This is just an extra spoiler, rims, TVs on the rims, paint job etc.

Thank you, Paul!!!!

Was anyone else expecting to be able to bedazzle your profile Myspace-style?

The way MDApps lets you enter code, you can easily make it that way :laugh:

Actually I bet we could add some of that stuff.

NickNaylor · Jul 14, 2011

I made some changes to your code paul, but my MDApps has officially been "pimped."

For those that are curious, if you change the line-height attributes to 16px (rather than 20px) it'll make the additional sections match the spacing size of the native MDApps text. Maybe my obsession with details got to me, but that bothered me.

I also deleted the borders and made the link to your profile a little more discreet. Let me know if umad.

Thanks again for spending time on this.

Preliminary pimping complete.

Thanks a bunch, Paul!

I'm aprox a year an a half from applying, should I make one now?

Unless you have notable stuff to add, such as shadowing, EC's, etc., then no. An empty profile will be the first thing people see, I doubt many will go back and check if anything new added.

Make one when you actually have stuff to add, then you will actually get visitors/viewers interested, until then not worth it.

People still use IE? Anyway, looks good so far. Makes your page look cleaner and organized. I hope more features are added in the future.

1TB4RKSB4CK · Jul 14, 2011

^ thanks dude, I was thinking of giving myself a gap year anyways after my bachelors to spice it up/maybe re-take MCAT that I haven't took yet haha.

Just an additional note here, you can make a profile and just not display the link on your SDN account. That way, you can get started whenever you want and build up to a complete one when you're applying.

The code generator isn't working anymore.

Why would you ever post your PS.... I'd bet 100$ someone steals it and uses it as a template.

Too bad for them: it's an average pos.

Who cares? Only a ***** would copy it, and it wouldn't get them very far anyway.

I would assume he understood the risks when he put it up there, as did NickNaylor. They've included them to give a more complete picture of their applications, so that the means by which the end results were achieved are more clear. There are any number of PS examples online that one could use as a template, but since med schools are considering using plagiarism-detecting software for PS/Secondary essays, copying one of these verbatim would become obsolete rather quickly.

Though I do intend to disclose a lot for future readers at the end of my cycle, I will not be posting my PS as a matter of choice. Everyone should be free to do otherwise without criticism.

Edit: Oh look, Nick appeared while I was typing. :laugh:
