Yes, SDN just implemented a quality control policy. If your post is utter bullsh*t then you don't get credit for it!
i guess it's not that strict if it only removed 20.

please this is a very serious question
Thanks
please this is a very serious question

I have my hunter green suit (skirt and pants options) hanging in the closet with my designer bag/portfolio/binder/briefcase.
what do I do about shoes? leather or non-leather? Extra shiny, just-had-a-shoeshine-shiny, or dull but clean? Covered heel or woodened stacked heel? Are sling-back pumps OK or only regular pumps? would clog-back sneakers be ok for the tours?

Stilettos. No matter if you're a guy or a girl.
For girls, it shows you're able to blance your professional and personal lives. Guys - it shows that you're confident and self-assured. It's a can't miss. 😉
As for material, you should cure your own leather and make the shoes yourself. It shows that you have other talents outside medicine, and highlights your resourcefulness. 🙂
You could, but then you'll run the risk of having your interviewer ask you why, if you care about animals so much, don't you want to become a veterinarian?
Instead of building an ant colony, you should have founded your own HUMAN one. I'm thinking something along the lines of a forward research station on Antartica would have been appropriate.
You're only in this situation now because you didn't have to foresight to plan all of your ECs around what would best appeal to adcomm members. You will be a terrible doctor, assuming that through some fluke you get into a Carribean or DO school. 🙄

thanks woots! u have become the official 'dear abby' for this thread, one more question do does depends undergarments come in size small ? petite please?
Dear everyone,
I am just setting the record straight for all you kiddies applying to med school next year. As much as you think all this bullsh*t like GPA, MCATs, LORs, ECs, essays, life experiences, interviews, and crap like that factors into your application, you're forgetting the only important variable: your college. I go to a top 25 undergrad (which is ranked by the oh so infallible usnews system), henceforth, i'm just better than you in all facets of life. Med schools realize this, obviously. Come on, you do realize any med school would rather have a kid who took 7 years and had to sleep with professors to graduate from Yale with a 1.8 GPA in Home Economics and a 12 MCAT, that some smuck at some state school with a 3.7 GPA and 31 MCAT?
So i'm great. I mean, I'm REALLY great, like the GREATEST THING YOU'VE EVER HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF TALKING TO. I'm not being arrogant, I just need to let you *****s know, you didn't go to a top 25 school, so you dont have any hope and you all suck and you're all stupid and no med school will ever accept you so dont waste your money applying, you'll need it when you're homeless after your worthless degree opens exactly zero doors for you. You should have went to my undergrad if you were even remotely top 25 material, which is so freaking great I wont even let you mention the name of it, and if you ever make some semi humorous remark about it, i will launch into a 15 page tirade about how great it is and consequently how great i am and how in turn you suck so hard. You cant joke about my school or infer that other schools can give you a comparable education, because as i have outlined, it rules, so i rule, and you all blow.

I?m openly obsessed with everything premed and need to be reassured by some fellow obsessors.
Question #1: I am really, really, REALLY gorgeous (even hotter than the other really, really gorgeous SDNer) and am worried that people will assume that because I am so stunning I could not possibly have any brains and used ?other? methods to obtain my high (but by no means stellar) grades. Even though this is true, I don?t want my interviewers to know because they will wonder why my grades aren?t even higher than they are. Will my hotness hurt my chances?
Question #2: In all of my previous ?Why do you want to be a doctor?? essays I wrote that "I have been fascinated by biology since I was a small child, often plucking the wings off flies and the legs off spiders in an effort to see how even the smallest of organisms work." I read that adcoms don?t like to hear anything pre-high school. Will my references to early childhood really hurt my chances?
Question #3: I have so many publications I only referenced the ones from Nature and Science.
Thanks in advance for all your help,
G

Ummmm...that's not a question. Jeez. You're going to be a horrible doctor, if you ever make it that far.
Seriously though, what a great first post 😀
Whatever, DW. Why must you always spew misinformation on these boards? Are you that insecure that you have to mislead other worthy applicants in some pathetic attempt to help your own chances of acceptance? Or are you just THAT stupid? 🙄
I can't believe you have such a superior attitude given that you ONLY go to a top 25 undergrad. Any ***** could tell you that in order to guarantee admittance to a US allopathic med school, you must go to an IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I wasn't aware of any Ivies in Atlanta. 😛
And immediate - just call me "Dear Woots". 😉 I am not sure about the various sizes of Depends, but you might be able to get away with x-large Pull-Ups. Med schools will be impressed that "you're a big girl now!" 😀 Plus, I haven't seen any med schools list "complete control over bowel and bladder functions" under their technical standards, so you should be OK. 🙂
What are you no-talent ass clowns doing to this thread?
I am frankly appalled that the quality has gone straight into the toilet since I last posted on it.
Woots32 if you're not part of the solution you are part of the problem. If you are not with us you are with the terrorists. I won't even touch your advice to DW because it is so fraught with errors that I'm sure you will be condemning DW to a Carribean med school if he even thinks of following it.
What I am pissed off about, no pun intended, is your horrible advice to immediatespring about depends undergarments. The proper approach to her situation (which of course a no-talent ass clown such as yourself wouldn't know the first thing about) would be to have her purchase a home catheterization kit. All serious med school applicants wear catheters b/c taking time out from feeding the poor or building hospitals in 3rd world countries to take a leak is unacceptable and shows selfishness. Is that what you want immediatespring to convey to the adcom?
Frankly I am surprised at your advice and if I did not know any better I'd say that you were purposely trying to sabotage immediatespirngs chances of getting in. I hope I never run into selfish egomaniacs such as yourself in medical school. With your deceptive attitude you don't even deserve to become a hospital orderlie let alone a physician. Please note that I shall be reporting your behavior to all the adcoms across the country. My carrier pigeon "Pedro" is a very, very swift flyer. Expect to be rejected from all schools within the next day or two and have all your existing acceptances rescinded immediately.
😡 😡 😡

So here is my question... I am really really really hoping to get an interview from Cornell, but it's already the end of November and I still haven't heard anything from them. Of course I realize it's far too forward to call or email them to ask what's up. In fact, in order to not seem too forward, I did not submit an application. I don't want them to get annoyed with my silly essays and so hurt my chances of getting an interview. So what should I do to get them to invite me? I was thinking of putting on my best interview gear and walking past their admissions office every single day, while humming nonchallantly...
I believe that you do qualify for texas residency. The requirement is simply that you reside in Texas for a year continuously without attending an institution of higher learning. I don't believe that Texas requires you to hold a job or register to vote (which you obviously cannot do as a felon), or open a bank account or own property, or do anything that might contribute to the state's economic prosperity.
And I'd like to strongly encourage you to follow your dream of becoming a doctor. Don't let a little thing like a felony conviction, or a prison term, interfere with your desire to help humanity.
Absolutely! As long as you got a plausible explanation, that's all that med schools care about!
For example: 2 guys in a knife fight, and one stabs the other.
he wasn't really trying to kill him..he was just practicing his surgical skills 😉
(for general knowledge: It is illegal to obtain a medical license in many states if you've got a felony on your record).

Thanks for looking out for me Explo! 😍 I can take a hint! I can see when I'm not wanted! Just because I've been the only one who cares enough about my fellow premeds to actually take the time to answer their superfluous, idiotic questions, and you disagree with my opinions, means that you can rip me a new one in front of the whole SDN community. 
Well, I've had enough of all you a$$holes. I am officially boycotting posting on SDN until I see hundreds of posts telling me to calm down, and what an awesome person I am, and that you all miss me and are dying to read another of my hilarious, insightful posts.
Until you all come groveling back, good bye and good riddance. 😡

Help! This is serious --your advice is needed-- Ive been dragging myself out to the old mail box for 3 months now with no interviews in sight. AND this is my ninth year of applying to allopathic with nada results.BLAAAH!
I have two ideas-- so sock it to me with whatz best to do.
1)Apply to Carribean Schools which my mother wants so she can visit me down there & soak up some rays
2)Apply to D.O. schools. (my pre-med advisor says Ill be dissed by all the other docs at the ortho conventions cause he says D.O.'s su*k big time) .
What to do???😕

You know what they say, the tenth time's the charm...
Surely any Adcom with a soul would be touched by your unfailing dedication and give you a shot...the only problem IS finding an Adcom with souls, since everyone knows that for the most part, they're minions of Satan who base their decisions solely on MCAT scores and they color of the interviewee's suit.
Hey DW, my undergrad was ranked 24th in the USNEWS rankings my Junior year, but was then moved to 27th my Senior year. Do I have a shot of getting in somewhere?
And Woots, what exactly qualifies as an Ivy League? Is Harvard an Ivy League?
of course, the interviewee's suit color MUST match their cockring color. minions of satan take their color-coordination very seriously.
dear crazyA,
I hate to be the deliverer of bad news, but you're in a precarious situation. I have calculated the mean ranking of your undergrad on the assumption you did four years of college, and its 24.75, which would be ok by the top 25 threshold, but the standard deviation is 1.5, so a ranking outside of the 25 is within one standard deviation of the mean.
So, I dont know what to say, I'm sorry but you'll have to make up for this, you're "bordeline" at best. You could think about applying to some lower ranked schools, and dont rule out DO schools and the carribean. Or, you could take some classes at a higher ranked school to skew that mean ranking back to the top.
🙁
Guys, I have enjoyed all of these jokes and good humor, but I got a real question so please put aside the jokes just for a second.
I have a Baylor on Dec 13. I have a very good friend who lives in Houston, so I am going to drive down there the day before my interview to spend the day with him and his wife.
My question is, since I will be in Houston (the same city as the admissions committee) the day before my interview, what should I wear. I am aware that Houston has 2million people and covers hundreds of sqaure miles, but just in case I happen to run into a member of the admissions committee, I want to be well dressed. God forbid, my jeans and hawaiian shirt be held against me. Should I wear my Hunter green suit the entire day before, or should I mix it up with a purple suit so that I can save my hunter green for interview day. Or should a wear a t-shirt that says..."I love Baylor univeristy" Should a carry my leather porfolio around with with a copy of my AMCAS application and resume.
Thanks for helping me with this important issue.

also wanted to ask, dunno, maybe woots would know this:
can i get in trouble with the law for uprooting my mailbox and taking it into the house with me so i don't have to walk outside to check mail? i, um...my friend did this yesterday and she even drew big arrows in chalk on the driveway so the mailman would know where it went and not get all upset but the mailman, i mean, my friend said the mailman said he was going to sue. i think, well, in my opinion, since my friend drew those arrows, the mailman should not have gotten upset...dunno, what do you guys think

Clearly, if you were serious about being a doctor, you would not be gallavanting with your friend and his 'wife' the day before an interview, you would be in the library researching the history of Baylor and dissecting every letter of your AMCAS explanation, along with coming up with a feasible excuse to explain your sub-42+ MCATscore. If any Baylor Adcom Official DOES happen to see you during your wanderings through Houston (and trust me, Baylor is notorious for posting spies in the airport and throughout the city to observe incoming interviewees) they will surely observe your lack of dedication, and you will be screwed.
This is the time when the truly dedicated distinguish themselves, and show their willingness to sacrifice all else to become doctors. If you are unwilling to ditch your friend, then you probably shouldn't even bother to go to the interview.

Another question for dear abby:
i need to find out what my interviewer is going to wear for my interview cos i wanna make sure that we dont wear the same thing, or u know the same color, or something, how do i politely do this?
urs sincerely
worried in seattle

I would advise against this. Everyone knows that many med schools will run extensive background checks on their applicants, including dental history and elementary school report cards. While you would have a good chance of having such a lawsuit thrown out (especially if you claim that the application process left you not responsible for your actions), any legal proceedings against you would probably look bad. 🙁 Besides, the chalk may wash away if it rained, and where would that leave you?
Maybe you should do what I - er, one of my friends - did. Install a security camera focused on the interior of your mailbox. Rig up a handheld TV (like the one they used in Ocean's 11) so that no matter where you are, at any time of the day or night, you can know if you have recieved new mail. If it's the going outside thing that bothers you, I suggest purchasing a trained monkey who could run outside and retrieve your mail. Just make sure that the monkey is wearing diapers, as you do not want any correspondence you may have to return to med schools to become accidentally soiled. 😉
MAJOR WARNING FOR USC APPLICANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I was interviewing at USC, the Dean came out to talk to several us applicants while we were waiting for our interviewer to arrive from surgery. While we were casually talking and joking around with her, and she let it slip that no one is ever admitted if they show up at the interview wearing either Obsession for Women or Bvlgari for Men. Luckily I had recently switched to Joop! for Men so I was safe, but what a close call. Whew!
Fair warning.

This sucks!!!!!! 🙁 🙁 🙁
I applied to interviewed at 128 out of 129 of the allopathic schools, and have been accepted at Harvard, Yale, Hopkins, UPenn, WashU, Stanford, Columbia, Pritzker, Vanderbilt, Tulane, UCSF, UCSD, UCLA, UW, GWU, UPitt, Case Western, Baylor, Duke, UMich, Cornell, Mayo, Northwestern, Emory, Mont Sinai, OHSU, and 58 others. But my PROBLEM is that I have not received a secondary from NEOUCOM. What do you think I should do about the issue. Should I call them and try to convince them that I am worthy.
Is there anything I can do beside wait?
I wish someone would write a book as to how crazy and random this whole process is. I sometimes wish Deans would swallow their pride, stop worrying about matriculation rates and be fair to the applicants... sorry to vent but I am getting extremely disenchanted and broken by the whole process!

When I was in college, I mostly slept through class, drank beer, chased women, and played some basketball and football. Well, very unfairly this seemed to hurt my GPA and I failed approximately 37 classes leaving me with a GPA of 0.4. Well, now I want to apply to medical school, and I think this may hurt my chances of getting admitted.
So here is my plan. I saw these adverstisements to setup a Nevada corporation for $89.95. I figured I go do that with a name such as "Western University of the Pacific", and pretend that it is a realy college. Then I could get a PO Box, and use my Grandma's telephone. Once this is in place, I could design my own transcript that shows I graduated from there with a 3.95 (don't want to say 4.0 because that might look suspitious). When I fill out the AMCAS and all the other forms I will just use this University. Do you think this is OK? Do you think AAMC or the medical schools will mind?

At my last interview things didn't go so well... The interviewer started grilling me on my research, and since I've been doing it full-time only for the past two years and forgot to review it beforehand, I started getting nervous and said "mRNA" when I should have said "tRNA." Immediately realizing that I had completely blown the interview, I attacked the interviewer, biting him and hitting him repeatedly over the head with a chair. He is now in the hospital in critical condition... So my question is, should hand-write or type my thank you note? Should I spray it with a seductive perfume and put flower petals or confetti into it to negate the episode? Do you think writing a letter of intent will get the school to overlook a near-death of one of its faculty?
I also think that either is fine, just so long as the style you choose doesn't distract too much from your cockring. As we have well established, the ck is key to any acceptance, and you don't want to draw too much attention away from it.
That being said, you should look into a conditioning treatment. Too rough down there is never good, no matter what context said hair is coming into contact with the interviewer. 😛 Maybe something along the lines of VO5 hot oil? And make sure whatever shampoo or soap you use DOESN'T smell like Obsession or Bvlgari - thanks cabruen! 🙂
ROFLMAO!!!!!
NO NO NO what are you thinking? If you had bothered to search the forums you'd know that adcoms don't like to see cookie-cutter premeds. Everyone else is coordinating their suit and cockring (as well as their manservant's suit and cockring) so you have to go with something creative to stand out. I suggest Gatherer Green with your Hunter Green suit-it will show you have a feminine side. Oh, and make sure you carry a Prada bag with an obnoxiously huge logo on it, they like to see that you have the motivation to finish (you gotta support your habits, hey?)
And oh yeah, my friend's brother's hairdresser's mother's poker partner's son's fiancee has a funny pain in her back and since you're a med student could you look at it for her since she doesn't want to waste the money on a doctor's visit?

Okay, I think I may have ruined any chance I will ever have of becoming a physician. 🙁
Today I sent in my deposit to hold my space at one of the schools I've been accepted to, along with that technical standards sheet. Just to make it perfectly clear that I wanted the spot in the class, i jotted down a quick note saying I was very thankful for the offer, and I would like to reserve a place in the class. But the problem is...
I HANDWROTE THE LETTER.
And on loose-leaf paper, no less.
Technically I'm already in, but do you think there's a chance they may rescind their offer because I didn't type the note?
HELP!!! 🙁 🙁 🙁

HELP!!! 🙁 🙁 🙁
once again, this proves how silly all the advice you've given on this thread is woots32 🙄 I am appalled that someone as pathetic and morally bankrupt as you got into medical school in the first place on those useless determinants such as "GPA" or "MCAT", and this will give the adcoms ample reason to take away your acceptances and thrown you in prison for treason!!!! How could you NOT at leat TYPE your freaking confirmation letter?!?! What kind of a ***** are you!?!?!? 😡
We all know the appropriate way to acknowledge your acceptance is to send a laminated typed copy of your confirmation letter in a titanium covered armored car, surrounded by a police convoy and only accessible to the dean of admissions by retinal scan. Also, along with the letter, you should send a brief (20 or 30 pages, or an hour long audio visual presentation) explanation of how you're able to comply with each of the technical standards, replete with results from your last hearing and vision exams.
Also, JUST the deposit?!?! What kind of cheap bastard are you?!? 😱 To truly show your dedication to the school and prevent them from canning your @ss post acceptance, you should pay at least the amount of money for the first two years tuition. I had to sell a kidney on the black market and ***** myself, but I was able to put down 120K for my Jefferson deposit
you truly lack the dedication to become a doctor, and you disgust me. this is yet another example of the "high stats not correlating to intelligence, hard work, or ability to speak english" phenomenon that is the reality of medical school admissions.
as a matter of fact, you're all wasting your time on these boards. Did I mention that I went to a top 20 undergrad, got into a top 5 school, and i'm better than you and you all suck? i dont know why anyone would waste their time on this freaking site?
i mean really, what kind of freaking knucklehead would bother to post on this idiotic site? I'm so freaking great, i sure as hell wouldn't 🙄
