Javadane: You are probably at CCOM right now being interviewed. I am thinking about you and wishing for your success. You seem like a very serious and sincere candidate. Here's hoping you were able to remain calm and allow your best self to shine through. The waiting is killer, but you will hear w/in 4wks of your visit--sooner than many schools. Good luck.
MasterShakeDO: Congrats on completing your interview. Hope it was a good experience and that you receive an acceptance soon.
I love your comment "And they have a pool!" You must be a swimmer! I am also and I was hoping for a buddy to swim with next year during lunch or after classes. There are so many important factors involved in this decision process and it may seem silly to some, but I believe that the opportunity to continue my preferred method of stress relief (swimming) during med school will be critical to my success. I also think that having a strong interest area outside of school/medicine will help to keep us grounded and connected to others. Being a swimmer may have even helped to ensure my CCOM acceptance! It came up at least twice during my i/v, most significantly when I had to answer the "astronaut in distress" question and I stated that by holding my breath for over a minute, I would be able to extend my 10 second oxygen supply 6-10 times, perhaps long enough to find a fix to the malfunction. Anyway, hope you get in! See you at the pool!
