I get busy for a few days and return to find a bunch of punks on this thread! Seriously, people. Loosen up. This process is about more than just numbers and interviews and letters. If it pisses you off that it takes you 5 minutes rather than 5 seconds to catch up on the posts, then maybe you should find a profession that requires less contact with other human beings...or specialize in pathology (no offence to any budding pathologists on this thread).

Some of us have spent the last 7 months on this thread waiting for news from VCU. We started this thread, we developed this thread, and we're going to use this thread to help eachother get through the stressful hell that will be the next 5 days and then the crawl of waitlist movement. So there.

I know the anxiety you guys are feeling, I've been waiting on a school for 5+ months (no decision made). It DRIVES me crazy, but there are there are 120+ schools and I don't see applicants go diarrhea posting. If you guys get this anxious just waiting, how much anxiety are you guys gonna get while waiting for scores on the boards and match? My post has NOTHING to do with wanting less human contact. Maybe make the thread run up the night before decisions are made. But seriously, everyone needs to chill out. I certainly didn't run up the thread months before my VCU decision.

Mixti, what you don't understand is that "running up the thread" is exactly what these threads are for. If you want official information regarding VCU, go to their website, or call them up. Don't take this too seriously, and I highly doubt anyone on here is as anxious as we jest to one another. Have a sense of humor.

Who cares? That's not your concern. In addition, if you had taken the time to read the posts you'd see that there are quite a few that are NOT anxious: posts about construction, food, sports, etc.

That's your prerogative, but it would be nice if you would avoid telling others how to handle their anxiety or stress. If you don't enjoy the posts, don't read the thread.

Man, why can't Washington, DC be like 5 minutes from Colorado? I want a warm sugar cookie. 🙁

Me too! Shy, can I get your sugar cookie recipe? In my mind they are far superior to chocolate-chip. I can trade you an oatmeal/cranberry/white chocolate cookie recipe. What do you say, deal?

Okay, let's not go off the deep end here. While sugar cookies (and cranberry white chocolate chip too) are good, you can't beat chocolate chip. Well, unless it's oatmeal chocolate chip with walnuts. If Heaven had an official cookie, I'm pretty sure that would be it.

What the hell are you talking about?
You've already been accepted into VCU. With a freakin scholarship. 🙄
Go wait for that other school on their thread...if they don't have one, start one. You can all sit around and tell each other how smart you all are. If you seriously have a problem w/ us posting this much, you have problems. GET OVER IT AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

as someone who's posted twice (make that thrice) on this thread - i find the mix of topics entertaining to read, even if i don't really feel like adding to the conversation. it's nice to have a place where everyone else is waiting anxiously, and yet somehow managing to have a life at the same time (even if said life revolves around computer games... 🙂. so for all you lurkers out there hating on this thread - sit on a very blunt object and spin very quickly!

Why don't you talk about something VCU related. You need to go and babble somewhere else. :laugh: I hurt my finger scrolling down to the "important" posts. Damn you. Took me an extra 5 seconds. 😡

Anyway inverted, I found you a new avatar.

Um, your situation is not comparable at all. You already have an acceptance to a great school (and the star of this thread), and with a scholarship too! Most of us VCU hopers don't have an acceptance at all yet.

Furthermore, you've been accepted for a while now, while we have been waiting for months on end. The stress is high, and if we want to talk about a whole lot of nothing until the decisions come out next week, we certainly will. There is no news until then, and I don't see what more news you're expecting to gain about VCU seeing that you're already accepted. 😕

Don't have a recipe handy, but I'll dig one up. 🙂

BTW, if I make it to Richmond, you all are welcome to hang out and study at my place. As long as you don't mind a dog, an infant girl, and driving about 15 miles away from campus.

...well, check that. As long as I don't find you a threat to my plans of total medical school domination. 😛

Hey inverted, is it just me, or do we need to give our buddy jbone a little initiation swirly if we get into VCU!?
 
Then again, jbone's a pretty big dude. We may have to gang up on him! 😀
 
Remember that one thread a while ago with the person complaining about being rejected from like RFU or something like that? I remember distinctly one reply --- in HUGE red letters --- "You've been accepted to STANFORD! STFU!"

I am reminded of that thread as I see folks complaining here about us yakking to pass the time and relieve stress when they already have a VCU acceptance.

I am also reminded of grade-school etiquette: If you don't like how one group of kids is playing, don't go over to their spot on the playground. It's the bullies that run people out of their playground areas and wreck their games.

I also hate when there are threads of people complaining about lacking their acceptance from a top 25 school, when they are already accepted to an amazing school like UChicago, NWestern, Rochester, etc.

I'm sure the majority of us will be grateful for life if we just get one acceptance.

I dunno man, I think the cats are probably the best for him-- speaking of swirly initiations. Do you know what happens when boy cats, er, um, finish? Girl cat on bottom is screaming for a reason. Go google it. I'd hate for this thread to degrade so much that those *****s might complain some more. Oh, wait, we've already gone on to Dolly the Love Sheep. I guess we've degraded plenty.

I like the penguins. He's got skills.
Speaking of basketball team, I know VCU has one but are they any good? Hell if teams like Bradley can make it, why not VCU?

Oh yea cf and Inverted,

AIIIGGGHHH! Page 2! PAGE TWO!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.......

It's coming, folks... the chill breeze... the drinking binge to blur the screen again while we hit the refresh button and curse when the 'net is 1 picosecond slower than two nanoseconds ago...

Must go to the liquor store and stock up now.

Anyway, I won't need liquor this week. I'll have some good pain meds 😛 .
Rem, I need some cookies and some TLC. Especially after I get NOTHING from VCU or even worse...a "kick in the jimmy with a golf shoe" rejection (and I'm talkin metal spikes people). Or even better...crampons. Ouch. 🙁 :scared:

So you get to be crying in your beer along with me Wednesday evening, and then get sliced and diced Thursday, hmm? Well, could be worse I s'pose. I'll think on how.

Mmm, and as for the cookies, I think this week my honey asked me to make banana cream pie. So this week is pie and meatloaf week.

This weekend, tho will be turkey weekend. Still have two in the deep-freeze that we need to eat. Turkey... that means leftovers! Turkey ala king, turkey enchiladas, turkey sandwiches, turkey/avocado wraps, turkey and tomato salad, hot open faced turkey sandwiches.... ohhh... mmmmmmmm............. And I have some cranberry mustard for those sandwiches, too. Mmmmmmmmmmm.............................. 🙂

is it for ACL?

No. It's called a TTT (Tibial Tubercle Transfer) via the Fulkerson method with a lateral release.

Basically, cutting my bone (tibia) at the point of attachment for the patella ligament, moving it medially, then holding it with 2 large screws. They then cut the soft tissue on the lateral side of my patella (lateral release) to allow my patella to track normally in the groove (right now it is riding on the lateral side wearing down my cartilage...soon to be bone on bone OUCH! 😱 ). Then they will scope under my patella to clean out all the scar tissue and worn out cartilage.
Sucks. But I've blown my knee out about 5 times (basketball) and this will prolong my need for a total knee replacement for a while. Of course this will take place the day after I'm rejected from VCU. Rough week I'll be having. But hey, at least I'll have good drugs and Rem's banana cream pie.

By fall, I'll be ready to dunk on ya'll again. Watch out! 👍 😀

NOT REJECTED. Waitlisted. With me. 🙂

This just means we have to wait a little while to get our acceptance. Hey... perhaps you'll be the last one off the list and get that scholarship! 'sides, putting us on the waitlist gives them something to look forward to at the admissions office - accepting us!
 
so theres no need to send in letters of interest, new grades etc considering it's all upto the priority score system correct??/

Thanks.
 
i believe that priority scores are set by the committee, so there's no point in sending stuff after you've been evaluated. but i could be wrong. mostly i wanted to post because we were getting pretty low on page 1 🙂

Saw this funny cartoon... it's how I feel about the VCU-waiting process. Thought I'd share:

Actually, i called about a month ago and talked with someone in the admissions office and they said that I didn't need to send in my updated transcripts until I was accepted. About ten minutes after that the person called me back and said to go ahead and send them in. So I don't really know what is going on, but I went ahead and sent them in anyways

Cf, if we can't give Jbone a swirlee then at least we can 'nip' him when he falls asleep in class.

This is probably what is going to happen to most of us on d-day.
