The amount of time this thread has been spending on page 2 and/or 3 is shameful lately. So, BUMP.
Also, has anyone heard from jbone, and how his surgery went?
Nothing yet, but I'll give him a call tonight.
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.

ishqbina said:Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone is planning on going to the second look weekend at VCU on April 7 and 8. The second look program is through the department of student outreach, so if anyone is interested, give them a call. I will probably be going to VCU for a second look. It will be nice to meet some of the fellow classmates. Good luck to everyone.

lilmissangel said:excuse my ignorance, but what's Harvard Extention school? An extention of Harvard I'm guessing, but that doesn't mean much. I could just Wikipedia-it (notice how 'google-it' is kinda out now) but its more fun to ask you.

Where are all the VCU Central peeps? Out enjoying the spring weather? I did that earlier today and am now fairly sunburned. It's okay, the cherry blossoms here in DC we're worth it.
And has anyone gotten pulled off of the alternate list yet? Either in-state or out of state?
chicklett1 said:Harvard Extension School is Harvard's continuing education program, open to the public, to take classes at night. There is a post-bac program in premedical studies, which is what I did. It's a really fantastic, very affordable program that is taught at the same caliber and by the same professors as the undergraduate college, but it is more accessible to adults, people returning to school after years off, people who work full time (since most classes are held in the evening), and people who don't have $40,000 a year to drop on school. There's a website: http://www.extension.harvard.edu/

lilmissangel said:I got sunburned too.....but you're right it was totally worth it. I'm just an hr from DC so we enjoyed the same beautiful weather!!! YAY spring is finally here!!!
tacrum43 said:Did you enjoy the same cattle-car metro experience that I did as well? That was nuts! But still, I had never seen anything like all the cherry blossoms before and I'm glad I went.
lilmissangel said:cattle-car metro experience? nope. i was fortunate enough not to deal with that.
i didn't actually go to DC for the cherry blossoms but I went to a park near my house where a gazillion other people had gathered. It was fun...my nose kinda hurt tho if I try to crinkle it. hahaha.
Maybe i'll go see the blossoms next yr. Altho I live so close to DC I've never actually gone to see the cherry-blossom trees in full bloom....hopefully next weekend.
DrCapo said:Hey guys I was just wondering why your counting down to may 15th? From what i understand that is simply the deadline for accepted students to make their decision, so if your on the waiting list you wont really hear anything till june at the earliest.

tootsies! said:hey guys...i know this was a bit premature, but i called vcu today...they said that the waitlist has been moving...a couple times a day...so, slowly, hopefully, it will get to us. i justed wanted to share this info...a little more hope for us, right?
ShyRem said:Besides, last year waitlist movement was heaviest from about April 10 until June 10. VCU is a rolling waitlist and they don't accept more seats than they actually have; since people have to withdraw before May 15 we should see some significant waitlist movement right around then. Besides, it makes us feel less in limbo-land.
What can I say? We're typically OCD pre-meds.![]()
