oopsy - I should have mentioned that to you guys as well when I saw that three days ago....thanks, talkalot24!
...they'll be deciding on laptops soon, too. They said for sure the R400 won't be recommended. Ignore the prices from the link below, I think they go up for med students with software they put on it for us. From the old website they suggest paying for the latops during tax free weekend I think? (this year for NC it's aug 7-9, just before orientation, saves you some money)

with regards to loans - which lender is best? (edit😳r which lender are most people going with if there really isn't a 'best' one)
are most people reducing the amount of loans they have offered? I think the estimates they give are much higher than needed to live comfortably...how much to reduce is the question?!

I went with CFNC because they had no origination fee and there was some other fee that they didn't have... I'm not reducing my loans... If I have left over then I will just pay it back at the end of the semester, but I figure better to have extra for those unexpected expenses.
So I called the office today to keep up the waitlist hope, but they said they were holding steady at 160 and I'm somewhere in the middle.

Hey, who did you talk to in the office? Male or female if u dont know the name
Joni, our interviewer arranger
Pretty much this was the convo:
Me: Hi, I'm calling about the waitlist
Joni: Yes?
Me: Um, I start school soon, and I was wondering if I could find out about my position on the waitlist
Joni: We don't give out that information
Me: I start school really soon, is there any way you can tell me around where I stand?
Joni: What's your name?
Me: ______ _____
Joni: Ok, wait a minute, *goes off somewhere*
Me: *waits*
Joni: Well it looks like you're in the middle of the waitlist
Me: Oh ok thanks.
Joni: Just so you know, we're holding steady at 160.
Me: Ok, thanks. Bye.

I don't have any links at all. Maybe they took the old ones down and are in the process of putting the new ones up.
They took the old ones down. It had a checklist, laptop link, forms link, and a few others. According to the statement by the co-presidents they're putting up new links that will have everything we need. I just wonder why it isn't done in one shot. Putting in new links, a new statement and uploading some documents can't take that long....right?
They have posted the checklist and also the GUTS module (http://www.med.unc.edu/orientation/pre-campus/get-up-to-speed-guts). Work already -- sheesh!
I've been hoping for some sort of review material to be posted, actually. I'm going crazy in my tedious job.
How is biochem and cell/molecular a review of what was required to matriculate? lol...werent the requirements like 2 classes of basic bio, 2 of gen chem, orgo chem, and physics?
O also, has the lake trip really reached max capacity or is it just not updated from last year?
I'm pretty sure that's from last year. A lot of the links on the website are still from last year, such as the laptop info.

It looks like Kay Hagan's son will be in our class. That should make conversations regarding the direction of health care in this country interesting!
yeah man, I only learned some of that stuff because of MCAT prep.
wtf? I will probably try to avoid talks about that then, haha
It's just not updated from last year. We can sign up already by emailing [email protected], but I think they will send out more information.
Oh, come on. If you don't stand up for it, you don't really believe it. If you can't articulate a defense for it, you don't really understand it. 😛
Id prefer not to piss people off😉
You'll probably want to avoid conversations with me then or you'll piss me off by being reticent.
I hope all your children are born with birth defects, reticent enough for you? 😀You'll probably want to avoid conversations with me then or you'll piss me off by being reticent.
Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries.
for some reason i think they split us up into groups and we only go once a week, dont quote me on that though.
I sent back this form indicating I'm opting for the student health insurance they offer. Do I need to do anything else with it or am I all set? When does insurance start?
I just ran into Dr. Bashford (we work in the same department). It appears that the waitlist is moving slower than usual/expected, which is kinda what we expected, but has now been confirmed. It's good to know, but still sucks....

lol I was wondering that myself!!! it's also super sad that although I took biochem, I didn't learn anything which was my own fault! I never took notes and barely studied. I just lucked out that my class was very small (less than ten) and none of us were very focused, so when we bombed the tests the teacher thought it was her and curved a lot. 🙄 I suppose now I'm paying for that...ah well I've started reviewing the GUTS. Funny how it's all making sense the second time around (ahhh so that's how I count the carbons)!! lol
For all those on the waitlist... it moved yesterday! a friend from work got the call. Just shows don't loose hope till the very end.
for all those coming.. can't wait to see you on Monday!

I'm not holding my breath by any means. Maybe next year.
