Well, considering I am 20 and I have busted my ass to take more classes, surpassing all my classmates, I would say I am a sophomore. This gif is silly.
I think I might have been a sophomore and a half my freshman year in college [emoji1]
Do you plan to graduate early? If not, you are a freshman.
I don't plan on graduating.
So you are just taking the pre-reqs and applying without a degree? Why are you in panic mode?
I'm just so nervous to take the MCAF. I have only a year to study.
Yeah I'm taking classes to expand my mind.
It's not like I need a degree to go to medical school..
God.
Why can't you just be normal like the rest of us
I've always been different. Ever since I was a baby I had powers to bend spoons and read minds. My parents were naturally afraid, so they sold me into sex slavery. As you can guess, that endeavor didn't last long.. I had the ability to break dicks and twist nipples. My PIMP rolled me down a mountain straight into a river. I remember floating down that river for days and days and days. Finally, I was rescued by a ship of lesbian fisherwomen.. They caught me in a nylon net. They trained me to meditate, communicate with dolphins, and generally be one with the ocean. Finally, when I was 15 it was time for me to fly away from the nest. One thing led to another and I ended up in the desert. Here I am.
Oh man I hope you are like this in interviews
Yeah, I think the carib will love it.
I honestly can't tell when you're being sarcastic or sincere.
Now that's a panic post. Someone get this guy an answer now, chop chop.
Either you applied to only selective schools or there's something other than your numbers causing you problems, that's more than enough for IIs at many many mid-to-lower schools
+1. Panic eating and not working out because I've been too busy doing secondaries. Gained 6 pounds while applying. Applying to med school is the unhealthiest thing I've ever done
You gotta work out, man. I eat a lot of crap, but I make sure to get the workouts in.
Yup. Agreed. Was running 10 miles/ day + daily bikram before secondaries. Just finished my last one today ( submitted far too many because I'm neurotic, apparently). Planning on getting back into the swing of things now that I don't have any more secondaries to write[emoji525] [emoji148]
Actually, right about now, I kinda wished I didn't enjoy college life that much.
I've been panic eating a lot these days, mostly at buffets. But then again, the stress causes me to lose weight so it balances out.

Well at least you are panicking now, I was late to the premed game and am not excited about having only a year of clinical volunteering and less lab exp on my app. Better to get the neurotic motivation instilled early on
I understand, I didn't consider pre-med until mid sophomore year.
I wish I had started earlier and taken stuff at CC while I was still there, lol. Now I'm taking orgo, physics etc. at a top 20.🙄

If I could go back in time to my freshmen self. I would tell myself to:
1. Study hard and ace every class. Looking back, I could have aced every class if I studied hard enough.
2. Ace MCAT VR. The rest comes easily (sort of). I spent too much time on the sciences.
3. Start gaining some sort of clinical experience that is unique. e.g volunteering program/shadowing.
4. Try to get published in research. It gives credibility.
5. Explore hobbies more in-depth.
6. Explore back-up career plans more in-depth.

You have a high MCAT...if you're really worried, then take a gap year, like most Wash U kids do.
I'm not a fan of the gap year :/
Why is it necessary to mention Wash U? 😉
We both go there, its an Ace&efle thing, u wouldn't understand
How's the Seattle weather?

While I was shadowing a neurologist back home over summer I had one of the PAs ask me where I went and then after hearing asked if it was an online college

Sarcasm?
Yeah it's a running joke that nobody ever knows about WashU, and it's true. I've had people confuse it with Uni of Washington, george washington uni, and even washington and lee university
Well actually the only thing I ever hear about WashU is premed related. I have never heard anything else about that school.
At least the people who know realize it's a difficult school and will respect that you go there.While I was shadowing a neurologist back home over summer I had one of the PAs ask me where I went and then after hearing asked if it was an online college

I don't go to HYPSM or anything, but some people know my school, and I've been writen off as a "trust-fund baby" behind my back...
Yeah it's funny how certain things about a school get magnified, I'd only heard of Duke from sports and JHopkins from med/biomed as well
If there's any good school full of trust fund babies its WashU so I don't judge. It's absolutely bizarre how few people I talk to went to public high schools
I wonder if, per capita, more people will have heard of Wash U on SDN than in Missouri. 😉
But I'm not from around there, so you know.
Where are you from, the Hamptons? Or Aspen?
TBH, I resent that. I'm by no means rich, or even UMC, but thank you for assuming that anyway....

Just letting you know that equating your experience as an "unattractive" person to the "burden" of being "Native American" comes off as slightly offensive and insensitive to other people of color. There is absolutely no comparison at all and I say this as someone who holds onto multiple statuses of disadvantage (woman, person of color, immigrant, gay) and as someone who was bullied as a child for being scrawny, needing seven years of orthodontic work, and being "too brown" for the kids in a white, affluent South American school.

Congrats! Where at?
Do you realize you can click under the person's username to look at their recent (/entire) post history? NYMC.
And even if they limit who can view their profile, if you simply do a search and enter their username under "Posted by Member", you see all of their posts, thereby essentially rendering that privacy option useless.
Or just click the messages number count link under their username, sorry that's what I was actually referring to before. The link works even for members who restrict their profile.
He might be trying to be nice...
My aunt is an MD at URochester and asked me over thanksgiving if I was planning to apply DO as I didn't have any acceptances yet...
Good times.
Or you can actually ask the question because you know... it's a forum where people talk.
