You tried to attract them with that bend and snap but ended up breaking their nose

They can't handle this snap, Meme. You know how it is.

For people who received IIs, did your portal change from "ready" to "review"? or did it stay ready until II?

Stayed ready as far as I could tell.

Hey y'all, does anyone who has interviewed here have any insights / advice? I've heard it's pretty chill, and definitely ready to just go have some fun and be myself, but still a tad nervous because it's my first! Was the intensity/stress level of all 3 interviews (student, faculty, admin) pretty similar? Any specific questions to maybe prepare for? etc etc thanks in advance!

Unrelated but did you really like Heart of Darkness that much

It was about as stressful as talking to some rando on the subway about their cool backpack. Like, super conversational, don’t even worry.

[oncotraum]

First R, stung more than I thought it would. Good luck to all those waiting for decisions/ have interviewed!

While completing the secondaries (at least the ones that required time and effort) I became more attached to my school list than I originally expected, there are tons of unique/interesting features that make almost every school a compelling choice. And unfortunately that makes each rejection or hold sting that much more.

Good luck, hopefully you get many more IIs!

Sounds like you'll have some good options, so don't be too upset. You can't please everyone. Good luck with your interviews!

 

[Goldenstatedoctor5717]

Well I’m socially awkward so I’m not banking on it! But you too

It’s MED school interviews not Pokémon, you don’t need to be sad if you don’t catch’em all. You got this, lad👍.

So, the thumbs up was accidental. It is supposed to be parentheses around the letter y to be inclusive of lads or ladies, but apparently 👍 is a thumbs up emoji

 

[u_raptor]

We talking about practice

ok yep calipremed is back @EmbryonalCarcinoma

 

[907914]

Is this Cali new account?

 

[u_raptor]

Is this Cali new account?

I think it is a safe venture to say so

 

[deleted972488]

Is this Cali new account?

Almost certainly.

 

[907914]

Almost certainly.

Are we obligated to report repeat offenders or do we keep a secret? Also, I tried to make a second account several months ago but it made me verify and it was denied.....won’t even let me try again...

Granted, I named it “literally a troll” and intended on using it as a troll account...but still, they didn’t even give me a chance.

Trolls gonna troll. I called out Walter Raleigh when he came back with an alternate account, too.
