Are you in awe?

Ok now that we have all gotten our MCAT scores back and some of us are happy and are going to move on into the application process. I, for one, am just awe-struck that I am this close to getting into med school.

One day you decide you want to go through with trying to be a doctor so you start your prereq classes. Then the next thing you know you have taken the MCAT and gotten your scores back. Wow this seems so surreal.

Does anyone else feel this way?

What??? The hardest and most taxing part is coming up! Everyone could do the stuff that we did before we actually applied. It's being on top of applications, secondaries, interviews, updates, all while going to school and sometimes working, that is the hardest.

Alas, I was and am still just like you. So excited about anything and everything. The app process didn't change me at all - except maybe for tons more gray hair and a lot more hair loss. I'm 22 and I already have gray beard hair 🙁.

It helps to have such a great attitude when you start questioning your qualifications and why schools don't like you, or what a certain interviewer's comment meant. Treat every secondary, interview and acceptance like they are gifts that no one is obligated to give you. That will keep you going!

Shouldn't this be in the MCAT forum?

I going early-acceptance at UAB since I am an Alabama resident(finally a good reason to live here). At Auburn we can sign up for "junior year" interviews with some of the different adcom members from our state schools. The two people I interviewed with from UAB told me that if I did 30+ that they would feel very good about accepting me early-acceptance. That is why I am so excited I guess.

No.

 

[SaltySqueegee]

No.

Agreed. On the no part and also the growth of a widows peak and the appearance of gray beard hair.

I feel like Moses after he talked to the burning bush, after this app process ended in my final acceptance.

Who knows what prepping for the First Step in the Boards will turn me into... Methusela? [sp?] Skeletor?

Oh yeah, and congrats to you Shades. 👍 👍 😎

ok ****wads, I am drizunk and you need to respond to my pizzzost. 🙂 Go MCAT, taker away of all social activites barring saturday night at the supper club! 🙂

No soup for you Bailey.

 

[bewitched1081]

just remember that there is no guarantee of getting into med school. even if you have a 45/4.0. well you might be guaranteed into wash u in st louis, but the honest truth is that there are no guarantees even if you have all things in place. i only say this to warn you. take a look at some safety schools is all im saying. that being said, congrats on finishing your mcat. hopefully you'll never see it again.

Haha I just found a thread that I posted drunk in! That was a half a bottle of crown straight night!

buddy, what are you doing drinking and posting on a pre-med site? are you that lonely!!!!

Just kidding!

Agreed, to earlier posts on hair loss...20 now and 24 doesn't look good in terms of follicle count....MCAT, pre-med bloody hell...

 

[Shades McCool]

Haha that was a good night. I went to the Supper Club drunk off my ass(that half bottle of crown) and then we went back to the house, but I know for a fact that it was a lot later than 12:37 am. I know this because we left when SC was closing which was 4 am.

The no soup for Bailey comment was for my friend's dog. The dog wanted some of the soup he was fixing to help sober up.

haha, sounds like a lot of fun. wish i could do that, but everytime i drink the quantity of EtOH equivalent to half a bottle of crown, i just fall asleep! 😀

maybe its nature's way of keeping me from getting a DUI

 

[Psycho Doctor]

perhaps i'll feel that way when i have that acceptance letter in my hand.

 

[Psycho Doctor]

That is not very nice.

and uncalled for..what was wrong with the OP's question?

 

[Shades McCool]

God's way for me to avoid DUI's are sober drivers and cabs. What can I say, I can hold some liquor.

 

[captbadass]

buddy, what are you doing drinking and posting on a pre-med site? are you that lonely!!!!

drunk posting on a premed site does seem pretty sad, but im man enough to admit to it. theres just something about this site that draws me near when i get home late and am sloppy. of course i would never admit this to any of my friends.

It is like a magnet.

Dude, you've got to stop with all the threads. It's like you're taking over Pre-Allo. Enough!!!

 

[Shades McCool]

Slowly I will own this whole place.

 

[flash]

Back to original topic of the thread....

I wasn't in awe back in June or July, but it's beginning to hit me hard that a) it's almost Feb and b) I'm in somewhere I like (still hoping for a conversion from waitlist) and c) I will probably be moving 1500 miles to begin a new life as a med student in 5 months for the next 4 years.

Time is going to fly, it'll be here soon.

Wow.

 

[MWillie]

In awe of one's own acheivements? Sounds narcississtic.

 

[flash]

haha..gimme a break. I just can't believe i'm finally "done" with this part of things and that the countdown has started.
