I LOVE it 🙂 What a cute little stuffed monkey! Yay for changing avatars with good news!

We could do something fun for Halloween, maybe. Like put pumpkin faces on our avatars or something like LossForWords did. Heh, if I get accepted to UCF on Halloween, I'm totally getting my Halloween spirit on 🙂

Thanks! I was a little bored so I thought I would do something different.


I don't really like that creepy guy, but I can't think of anything better right now...
 
So no mail for me today. I'm willing to bet it won't get here tomorrow either, so I'll have to wait until Monday. *sigh*
 
waiting is even worse when you're not even waiting for acceptances and you're still waiting for interview offers... =( good luck to those also in my situation and congrats to those sitting on acceptances!!
 
just wanted to say meow

👍 for the monkey and the bunnies.

I kinda like Dr. Tinycat from the lolcats thread 🙂
 
The 5 stages of grief:
1. denial
2. anger
3. bargaining
4. depression
5. acceptance

Berken's stages of grief:
1. depression
2. anger
3. depression
4. acceptance
5. bargaining
What comes next? I can't find a pattern here...

6. UCSF Acceptance

:laugh:
 
^Hey, c'mon, at least there's an acceptance in your future either way.

Sorry, maybe that wasn't very funny.

Hang in there, berken. You'll hear good news. The interviews that you have clearly indicate that you are an attractive candidate. It's a long process like Decicco was saying...

ha! That's never going to happen...sorry to complain, tncekm! I really, really am grateful for what I have. But that school was great, so I actually feel like I lost something...you know?

Haha ok. Yeah. I'm ok...I'm ok. You know if I get one acceptance, I'll be fine. Just need one. If that comes, I'll surely stop complaining 😛

To all the folk who are in already:

I think we should all focus our energies on praying/hoping for BD2B since he's been so supportive for us through everything (including our whining 😀). Who's with me?!


Sending lots and lots of love and luck on your behalf to Howard riiiiight now!!!! :luck::luck::biglove::biglove:

OHHH I missed a lot!!!

Serikk- Vandy = awesome. I knew you'd get in!
LET- I think I already told you...but I'm so proud of you!!! I hope you're celebrating!
Gradu8in- AHHHHH!!!! Congratulations!!! 😀 You're going to be a doctor!
Chad- IS acceptance, that's amazing! I would cancel Albany, if I were you.
BD2B- I really hope you get the invite by the end of the week!
Redrumi- No acceptance for me, either. I'm trying to stay patient...and sane, although it's harder than anyone can imagine. Happy thoughts! Just think happy thoughts!

chad5871 said:
Definitely - I will say a little prayer for BD2B every time I look at this thread! We all believe in you!



Thanks! I did cancel Albany, by the way. I'm sure you'll hear something soon, Berken!

You guys don't know how much seeing all of this means to me. I even showed my wife this morning. Thank you all sooooo much for the support. I really do hope and pray my time does come. It is hard being around here sometimes because everybody seems to be having success. But I know that I have to have faith and believe. I also know that it will come on the Lord's time and not mine. I told myself that I was going to stay away from SDN for a while because of how hard it is but, I couldn't stay away because you guys are all an awesome bunch of people. Plus I really do enjoy seeing your success and seeing how happy you guys get. I really am happy for everybody who has been accepted. I may still disappear for a little while, but we will see. I just don't want to miss all of the great news. It would be and will be a pleasure to be a part of 2013 with you all. It is going to happen for me, i know it in my heart of hearts! Keep bringing in those acceptances. Love you all and God bless!

Thanks TRN! I greatly appreciate it!

Well, you're day is coming... don't worry 🙂.

And, you're definitely humbling and inspiring, so thanks for that! I'm only at 1 II and still a little concerned, but I do have one and should probably be a bit more grateful for it--its at one of my top choices, but I'm just scared of rejection ya know? Anyway, despite having an II I think I'm probably 100x more jealous (a disgusting emotion) than you are of all of these people killing the app cycle. I don't even consider myself a jealous person by normal standards, but how you handle everyone elses success with warm congratulations while you're still waiting patiently makes me feel like a bad person. :laugh: I mean, I'm happy for everyone, but I'll look at this thread and think to myself "Gosh, I really hate this thread right now." 😳

Anyway, keep it up! At the least, I know you're inspiring me to be a better person and everyone really appreciates your words.

We mean it bd. and I know its hard to be around here... but we want to be the first to know when you get that invite! The Lord is true!!

I know you do. You all will be the first to know when I do get it. I have a question for anybody who is willing to answer. I am not counting myself out of this cycle, but I am thinking of what my next step will be. I have already done a postbacc, so I was wondering what master's programs do you all think I should look into, just in case? I know that if I don't get in that I will have to retake my mcat, but I just want some of your opinions. Thank you
 
Hey Grad, just wanted to tell you that I love your signature. Where did you get it from?
 
I'm a student member (free - go sign up!) at CMDA. They have weekly email devotionals, it came from one of those. the devos are great and there's a lot of neat stuff on the site.

Christian Medical & Dental Association. (i think its cmda.org)

As far as master's programs, I'd just find something you are interested in and feel like you can succeed AND enjoy.
But certainly don't get too stressed too early. People are accepted well into the spring AND summer, and your chance is coming!

That's awesome, berken. 🙂

YAY FOR DR. TWEETY!!!!

Yay Berk! I knew you could do it! And don't be embarrassed of your accomplishment either - be proud! Is UVA one of your top choices? I have a friend who's an M1 there right now and he really likes it. He decided to go there over NYU.

I am embarassed about having the huge freakout about Vandy a couple days ago! I was thinking if Vandy doesn't like me, why the hell would Mich or UVa?!
