Watchin this show called DEA. Pretty good.

 

[pianola]

May be Chad and Pianola will pop in here soon to let us know that they got a package from Columbia.

Nooo news....

Maybe I'll have started med school already when Columbia lets me know 😛. Cornell's taking its sweet time, too.

Yay for a double rejection!

 

[olemissbabydoc]

ugh, really?! sorry pianola 🙁

 

[drizzt3117]

if you guys had no other options, would you ever go to med school in the Caribbean?

 

[olemissbabydoc]

if you guys had no other options, would you ever go to med school in the Caribbean?

I wouldn't, but I wouldn't have gone more than 7-8 hours driving away from home. I just wanted to stay close to my family.

 

[SDN2013]

if you guys had no other options, would you ever go to med school in the Caribbean?

I think I'd get a DO.

OMG me too. I love it, it is so intense.

🙁, don't give up yet.

 

[Anotherface]

hell yea. I would study while under an umbrella at a white water beach, and finish up my nights by sipping on margaritas

 

[AdmiralChz]

if you guys had no other options, would you ever go to med school in the Caribbean?

Nope. Even if I didn't get into DO schools, I probably would have just used my econ degree to get a job... (even though that's scary in this climate...)

 

[drizzt3117]

Personally I'd have rather gone Carib than DO, but I know a lot of people wouldn't agree with that.

This is reasonably impressive.

[olemissbabydoc]

its sooo pretty out today!

 

[Dr Lyss]

if you guys had no other options, would you ever go to med school in the Caribbean?

nah probably DO. Although it must be nice to live there for a few years.

 

[SBK]

nah probably DO. Although it must be nice to live there for a few years.

A lot of my old classmates report back that although weather is great, lack of variety of food gets annoying.

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Food. brings up the thought of what's for dinner....

 

[drizzt3117]

nah probably DO. Although it must be nice to live there for a few years.

That's what I'm saying... say at St. George's, you would be there for two years, then two years in NY... I don't think that would be that bad!

 

[Dr Lyss]

That's what I'm saying... say at St. George's, you would be there for two years, then two years in NY... I don't think that would be that bad!

definitely manageable

 

[ar2388]

Has anyone here ever gone to a movie theater by themselves?

totally.. but thats because i sometimes want to see movies that none of my friends do.. like the sequel to Pitch Black lol

 

[ar2388]

hehe, it's definitely more lonely being at a movie theater alone, at least IMO. I always thought it was kinda cool to eat at nice restaurants by myself, partially because I did it a lot as a consultant and could expense it 😀

im more comfortable with going to movies alone, however I definitely have done to places to eat by myself, but not for dinner.... lol

 

[ar2388]

I'm hungry.

It's a double pizza day. We ordered dominos for lunch and I'm having CiCi's for dinner! Hehe..

ive seen the cici's commercials.. they look good... i wish there was one in nyc lol

 

[ar2388]

How many of you are going to some of your second look weekends?

just to one!! whooo!!!!

 

[ar2388]

Meeeeee! I'm secretly (publicly, now 😛) apartment-hunting.

hehe me too!!!!
come april i can REALLY apartment hunt.. well mid april maybe lol

 

[ar2388]

I went to the Shadow-A-Student program, does that count?



I'm almost positive I'm living on campus, at least for first-year.



Ain't that the truth 😛

what was shadowing a student like? tell all.
also a friend of mine is also living on campus. i believe she's signed up for a 2 person studio 🙂

 

[ar2388]

The Midwest is cool, abt 1/2 the price of CA for rent with free heat, water, and trash.

... thankfully water is included in apts and heat usually is i believe.. haha but the rent is through the roof..
what is cali rent like?

 

[drizzt3117]

... thankfully water is included in apts and heat usually is i believe.. haha but the rent is through the roof..
what is cali rent like?

expensive... 1 bdrms are $1500-2000 depending on the area, + $50 for water/trash and $50-80 for heat.

 

[ar2388]

I got a package from P&S today but I cant bring myself to open it.

DUDE! COngrats!!! I would not be able to hold off LOL

 

[Bacchus]

Drizz:

Carib or PCOM? Choose wisely.

 

[ar2388]

expensive... 1 bdrms are $1500-2000 depending on the area, + $50 for water/trash and $50-80 for heat.

like NYC rents.. cool lol
my max price is $1800 for a 1-bedroom...

 

[ar2388]

I have a lot of loose ends I need to tie up today. i think I'm going to withdraw from a bunch of schools that I'm not really considering. "I hate this part right here" 🤣

oo which?

 

[ar2388]

I've been waiting to post in this thread forever! Finally got in to UAB!

Congratulations chemnerd!! hehe i like fellow chem nerds 🙂

 

[ar2388]

Nah, I only interviewed at two schools and I could definitely tell the difference between UVA and WashU.





Funny interview story! So I'm at <pick one and insert here> with an MSinsertnumberhere interviewer and he says "So, I see in your essay you thought you might have trouble delivering bad news. Let's roleplay. I have cancer. Tell me."

So I think "halp!halp!halp!halp!" and say "So, have a seat." To which he responds "I'm sitting."
"halp!halp!halp!halp!"
"I'm going to discuss some treatment alternatives with you, so I think it might be best if you a family member or a friend to sit with you..."
"I don't have any family."
"halp!halp!halp!halp....err... uh, well then... uh...I have some bad news for you: you have cancer...and...uh--"
"What kind of cancer?"
"Uh, what kind of cancer do you have again?"
"Oh, I thought you knew something about cancer."

CRUEL!!!! and asking you what kind of cancer when he didnt initially specify? F*** That lol

 

[Bacchus]

That rent is ridiculous. I got a 3BR in the burbs of Philly for $1250/month + utilities.

 

[ar2388]

"so what do you like about our school?"

"oh I loved everything... ann arbor seems like such a cool city, and..."

interviewer interrupts, "you're not in ann arbor, you're in pittsburgh."

awkward pause...

"oh that's what i meant..."

...

REJECTED

HAHAHA....
i called Center City in Philly 'City Center' during my interview lol.. city center is a theater in manhattan. thankfully my interviewer corrected me and laughed it off. although watch i get that rejection LOL

 

[ar2388]

That rent is ridiculous. I got a 3BR in the burbs of Philly for $1250/month + utilities.

a 3 bedroom?!?! wow....

 

[Bacchus]

You make fun of the city, we make fun of you.

 

[ar2388]

Y'all are really wonderful support, by the way.

Thank you.

of course sweetie!! We are all here for you.
you guys were here for me in even the smallest things and I am sooo thankful for you guys and for having found SDN. i totally tell other premeds about it. 🙂

 

[ar2388]

You make fun of the city, we make fun of you.

well i didnt do it intentionally....

but in all seriousness, i really liked philly.. i had never been there before upenn and it felt like a really nice place.

 

[Bacchus]

Penn isn't in Center City, lol. Oh, tourists.

 

[Bacchus]

[Bacchus]

[ar2388]

yay anotherface!!! i hope everyone gets accepted tooo. in other news it's not mono, but she doesn't know what's wrong with me. she told me to self diagnose again haha

what else could it be??

 

[ar2388]

Thankfully this school was not really top of my list. Maybe I should just withdraw.

Edit: Wait no this is crazy talk! I will send in my forms and at least get my packages. I will not be defeated by my laziness!!!

haha i know that feeling... and ive had the exact same conversation with myself over other things lol

 

[ar2388]

Spring forward weekend sucks. I like fall back much better

i hate losing an hour of sleep...

 

[ar2388]

also filled out the last scholarship form, I think. Really didn't think I would qualify but somehow my home county is considered disadvantaged.

which scholarship is this? the one your grandma found?

 

[ar2388]

First day of spring break!

Time to start on my massive To Do list. 🙁

oo.. whats on it? lol

 

[ar2388]

Hey guys, it's a beautiful day in NYC (60 degrees!) so I'm going for an outdoor run for the first time in months! 🙂

i know! its lovely! i went out for a walk with my mom since im home for the weekend.. but it cooled down quickly enough
🙁

 

[ar2388]

Oh man... after I took 3-4 mo off of taekwondo for med school apps, I would get sick after most classes for 2-3 weeks 🙁

sick?

 

[olemissbabydoc]

which scholarship is this? the one your grandma found?

Nada. This is something thru the school called Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students. apparently my home county is a physician shortage area since katrina. That's great.. any dime in scholarship is one that doesn't have to be repaid. 👍

 

[ar2388]

I used to run 3-4 miles three times a week, but now I can barely run 1 mile without feeling I am going to cough up a lung. Its weird because I have doing cardio (while doing MMA), yet my conditioning is horrendous. That's why I have decided to start running within the next couple of weeks.

hmm.. i wonder if thats why i cant run as well? i do ballet 4x a week usually and maybe another bit at the gym or something, but running is so hard for me!! i once ran a mile in gym class in high school because we had too. is all really about practice?
