LM 83+, OOS, nothing yet. Was complete in the first few days

I am an LM 74.5 with an effective LM somewhere around 81 - 83.... This is bumming me out...It really isn't as it is the beginning of the cycle, but yah...

What happened last year?

Just a random guess haha, maybe they were neurotic and spammed their email every Monday and then now this year they’re just like “fvxk it we ain’t putting up with this crap anymore”

 

[helpmeout441]

nothing here for me. OOS and high stat

Wait, how is your effective above 80? Isn't a 521 converted to a 38?

"high stats"

more like "highest stats"

 

[helpmeout441]

could be higher haha. Someone in my class got a 528, not sure about their gpa though.

Yeah - cGPA is 3.65 due to 60 credits of military coursework, but last 2 years were 3.99 and sGPA is 3.97 - have been applying as though I have a 3.8 - 3.9 per ADCOM advice, as that is how they view me. Plus add +5 LM for military. LizzyM is not so friendly to Non-trads. Hence, real LM of 74.5, effective LM of 81ish.

The love/hate relationship with this forum is turning into more of a hate/hate relationship but I just can't get myself to look away

But nah, foreal though, this has been a severely disappointing Michigan Monday.

Preach. Being disappointed by Umich monday plus seeing people get Georgetown, GW, and Tulane interviews while I sit on an empty inbox is not a fun feeling

 

[xkcd6330]

And there's the tweet. Damn, was really hoping they were just starting next week.

 

[RJ McReady]

Dude give it a rest for Christsakes

 

[907914]

Tried to put crossed fingers here.

You mean they could have selected those to be sent out but not sent them out? That would be weird methinks

 

[deleted972488]

I think it’s more likely that the 16 other lucky #UMichMedMonday winners don’t post on here.

 

[premedpower8484848]

A majority of students who applied are not on SDN. So we have a small sample size here

Yah, last year it was only 4/19 day one-ers.

 

[strappysandals]

Well, see you guys next week! same time, same place?

 

[FatherTime-PhD]

dam it's official -- they actually sent out 17 IIs today. Michigan monday HAPPENED.

 

[xkcd6330]

Well, see you guys next week! same time, same place?

If today was any indication, I think this means I'm just not going to get any work done on Mondays from now on

 

[deleted972488]

Now I’m worried I failed CASPer.

 

[FatherTime-PhD]

Now I’m worried I failed CASPer.

They came to my school last year and said CASPER is just for data collecting purposes so far. They're just comparing students who are accepted and seeing their CASPER scores to see if there is a correlation.

Luckily I plan to be done with secondaries by next monday. So, I can fully dedicate myself to refreshing GMAIL and blowing up SDN school-specific threads.

Oh, good. So it’s only the other parts of my app that aren’t good enough. Lol. I’ll stop. There’s always next week!

 

[deleted688779]

0/5 so far, the worry of a bad LoR or I accidentally wrote something horrible starts creeping in

 

[FatherTime-PhD]

Does anyone know if they're open about rejecting too? i hope if they plan on rejecting me they just get it over with so I can stop visiting this gosh darn thread.

 

[RJ McReady]

If I were you I would ignore the thread (which is what I’m doing after this post)
Because meme guy, carcinoma guy and like 2-3 others are taking neuroticism to a new level. Most of the comments are theirs. I’ve never seen anything like it...
Peace Out.

I think there is a minimum amount of Michigan Mondays you must endure until they spare you. Something like 33 mondays until end of february, that should do it.

We're all stressed, it's all in good fun man. No need to take it seriously, just trying to lighten the mood a bit

 

[deleted972488]

It sounds like RJ was not McReady for this thread.

 

[RJ McReady]

Helpful suggestions and conversation are one thing
Spamming threads with useless observations are another

Someone has to be the voice of reason .

About how long was your response to the first prompt? Nearly maxed out my characters for #2, but can't write anywhere near that for prompt #1.

For anyone else who loves The Thing, having RJ MacReady say this is amazing.

grow up man

 

[gyngyn]

We especially expect kindness to each other in the school-specific threads.

 

[u_raptor]

I mean i think it's a little healthy to poke fun at one's own neuroticism . Which I believe is what we have been doing.

 

[hailbate]

Honestly these SDN threads are like crack. You know there's no point in checking and you know it just adds to your stress, but man that release you get from refreshing the page

Like we're literally one Michigan Monday in and I'm already thinking about what to do if I need to re-apply

 

[helpmeout441]

y'all need to chill lol

 

[hailbate]

y'all need to chill lol

Says the 3.99/527 /s

 

[helpmeout441]

I am as relaxed as can be ty very much

 

[hailbate]

Exactly, I would be too if I had your numbers haha

 

[907914]

Same boat, this stuff is all fun and games. Good information hidden in the jungle of memes.

 

[907914]

Did we ever figure out if the application says “Complete” is our CASPer in?

 

[ballerina15]

Hi, I’m trying to abbreviate University of Michigan medical's name to save characters and was wondering what the best abbreviations for it would be if there is one?

UMMS is found on their website

 

[steezymcfrosterton]

Do Michigan Mondays include II's for MD/PhD applicants?

No, I saw a post that said MD/PhD invites go out any day of the week

 

[Marr97]

Got my II today literally 3 minutes after being verified, UMich is ON it!
