An old game I used to play in the late 90's.
Glad you're here! Welcome. 🙂
I don't think so, I need to submit some more D.O. in a bit, so I hope not.
I've decided if no II by October and/or no acceptance by January I'll start planning a reapplication. I know that's early, but I'd rather be ready and not need it.
October for II is what I am thinking too (planned retake in Jan). My Mentor thinks I need to take some time off, but with the changes coming to MCAT I just don't know how I could wait.
That is so rough scoring over three points below your average. I'm sorry you are dealing with that. Hopefully you'll get in this cycle and it will be a moot point. 🙂
Ouch! Just try to be positive. At least you have so many people giving you helpful feedback. One more day is not going to kill your application. Let her make her comments and then let them be tonight. You'll feel better tomorrow. You can make the changes and submit it then.O M G
I have been struggling with the Colorado essay for 2 weeks now and was finally feeling like I could wrap it up tonight- had the diversity officer at my school read through it, he gave me some useful points to work on for flow and conclusion, and I'm sitting here trying to wrap it up. I called my mom to get a final read through and some final ideas about how to conclude everything. She's usually a pretty helpful reader, but what is she doing right now? Not reading through and giving me an idea or two. Nope. She's starting from the top. And. Nit. Picking.
I cannot watch this live on google docs and not scream.
I just want to be done with this one.
Sorry folks- just had to vent.
I took the trial section twice. The first time I got 69% right and was in the top 25%, The second time I got 39% and was in bottom half. And I have taken General Psychology, Devlopmental Psychology, and Sociology. I wouldn't be lolled to sleep on that last one. Just my experience tho, it might be different for others.
Yeah, my averages weren't as high as yours but I definitely scored below my range as well. Feel like I choked, but nothing I can do now, it just looks like a trend.
Thanks 🙂 You're always such a wonderful encourager!
sorry, that definitely stings
ditto. I studied hard core for 5 months then choked in the PS and ended up 3 points below my average as well. Keeping my fingers crossed for this round though. I don't mind about the new section, I just don't want to restudy again period.
Opps, will edit that away.
With a 30 I feel like you will get in somewhere MD, but yeah I definitely feel your pain. Thats a big drop. And then you don't know how to improve because you were doing fine on the practice exams before, so what can you use to gauge your progress? I am thinking I will try an Examkrackers/Goldstandard combo next if I have too.
Oh, I know. LOL I submitted most of secondaries in the middle of the night while my baby slept next to me and many many times I was like, "I don't even care anymore. I just need to send it!"
Agreed. When I did the trial section (the first time), my first thought was 'This is just like verbal, it won't be hard.' But its really not like verbal. The passages were almost completely useless to me, even though they were there.
I feel like this describes my thought process towards some of the later apps as well.
I was pure kaplan, and now I rather regret that. But c'est la vie. And at least I did the Aacomas app. I probably stand a good chance for D.O. even if my MD pickings are slim. Which is too bad, I don't want to move, but I doubt UCF will take me as is.
Never played Pokemon. CivIII though... ate up weeks of my time. Really loved Myst too, but could only play it at a friend's house.
Because this is where the cool kids hang out 😉
My computer/internet speed always sucked, all I got to play was Age of Empires on the computer. Not complaining though, great game.
I am too young, but I played them later when I worked at a vintage toy store 🙂 Borrowed some merchandise overnight 😉
I am too young but I have come across a few in my lifetime
Non-Trad Destiny Fireteam incoming?
You know, Leslie, another thing to do (my plan) is if I don't have any II by September and have started receiving a lot of post secondary rejections, I'm going to apply DO. Even applying late DO could still get me in school somewhere. Friend applied in November last year, heading off to KC right now.
POKEMON RED FOR DAAAAAAAYYYYYS. I might have still played it periodically in my teens... :/
Why not apply now and set interviews for later in the year? I'm filling out my aacomas this week and I have interviews.
WOAH. Red Alert 2 WAS THE BEST. I was never a civ guy. More AOE2 & Command & Conquer games.
For the $$$$ not going to drop more money unless I start feeling like I have to. Not turning this into a DO/MD thing. Solely about the $$$
Ha! done and done.O M G

That's an interesting idea. I thought about that but my friends and husband all assured me to chill and have faith in myself. I prefer MD for a few reasons so I sort of want to apply DO only after a failed cycle. That said, I have no money left for another cycle so maybe I will do as you suggest. What is the DO timeline like? Is September late or average?
I did my first cycle only md and will be doing this one md/do. I don't think that is a bad way to go at all, then you don't get caught with a do acceptance wondering if you could get md if you did things differently.
It might be late, I'm the same as you, can't afford another cycle, prefer MD for some personal reasons. What's another couple hundred on the credit card, RIGHT? 😉
My credit cards are almost maxed out. I'm sort of embarrassed but I promise it was all for good things.
Good call. I'll try and do the same.
