Class of 2013!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
That would be weird, especially if it was the part that Lil Kim talks about giving deep throat! 😱😱😱
haha i know! she just changed it.

I am good, a lil sad cuz my dog that I got, we had to return him to the owners. We think he might have parvo and we can't afford the vet right now 🙁🙁🙁. I kinda miss him!
aww i'm sorry bison 🙁
 
Wow that's a long time! What do you like better, So-Cal or Nor-Cal?

I like So. Cal better. Maybe I am bias cuz it is home but..............I just like it more. Nor Cal was cool and it was good to me but it is time to get back home!
 
Im not from Davis, I went to Sac State for undergrad and Davis for my postbacc. What were you in Davis for?
my family lived there. i was there a lot for the beginning of the summer and last semester. :laugh: but they moved...
they lived close to richards blvd next to in n'out...a couple mins from campus
 
We should have an SDN meet-up in SF!!!!! Anyone else in? We can meet at a Cafe and write essays...😀

I would actually make a trip to SF for that!!! It might be kinda fun!

So is UCSF your #1?
 
Yup, I think so, although I'm kind of terrified of claiming any school as my top choice cause I feel like I'll jinx it...let's just say I have a lot of top choices and UCSF is one of them 😀

You want to go to Howard, right? What do you love about it?

Yes ma I do! I love everything from the history of the school, tradition, mission of the school, DC, family environment, tough love of faculty, the way they prepare you for real life situations, it's a Historical Black College/University(HBCU). For African Americans, Howard is like the premier school! I just really want to go there as you can see!

Can you say something to me in Spanish?

Hmmm pues veo que verdaderamente quieres ir a Howard...estoy segura que vas a entrar, no te preocupes! Mucha suerte...


(translation: I see you really want to go to Howard...I'm sure you'll get in, don't worry! Much luck...)

Oh, and in Italian: Vedo che vuoi veramente andare a Howard...sono sicura che entrerai, non ti preoccupare! Buona fortuna...

😀

Sorry, way too entertaining, I only ever get to speak English anymore!

Oooh, I'm from the Bay Area too! I live in the Peninsula but work up in the city! 🙂
 
Hi all,

For those of you who've looked at the UCONN secondary or have already submitted it, how did you approach the first question "describe your motivation to become a physician"? I'm asking because clearly I spent a lot of time in my PS talking about this. Is it standard to talk about a different experience or to talk more about what you've already talked about? I'm really confused.

Also, in the UCONN secondary it says to submit the secondary/recommendations within 3 weeks from receiving the secondary. My issue is that I have the MCAT coming up and I wanted to get that out of the way before I started the secondaries...that might be about 4-5 weeks from now. When it says you need to submit within 3 weeks of receiving the secondary does that strictly mean what it says? (I know it sounds like a silly question) but the deadline will not have passed within 3 weeks for their secondary so I'm confused.

Thanks!!
 
Hahahaha YES! MY OWN SDN CRUSHER! AWESOME!!!
😍 you too, BD2B 😀

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel dreamy!
 
Has anyone gotten a secondary from:

1) University of Iowa
2) Loyola
3) Creighton
4) Drexel
5) Albany

?

I know that some of these schools screen primaries.

🙁 Wish I was in Cali. My best friend is moving back to LA next week. If I come down to visit her I'll have to stop by and meet you guys sometime! Anyone in Virginia or DC want to schedule a get-together sometime?

I've gotten Albany's. And Loyola won't be out for a few weeks (they do screen). No one's heard from Drexel yet (I don't think they screen).

Blessed morning 2013!
 
I'm in Palo Alto - Count me in if there's a SDN gathering in SF 😀
 
Man, there are way too many of you Cali people in this thread!

I live around a bay, but not the bay.:laugh:

(I am oh-so-jealous of your temperate climate and beaches!)

We can trade places cuz I wanna be in DC! Don't get me wrong, I love California, but I am ready to experience life elsewhere.
 
I love California - my college is in Santa Barbara, but I'm spending summer at home - Oregon. At least it's never too hot...I'm all about the nice temperate climate. Anyone else looking at OHSU?
 
I've always wanted to visit California... I'm near about as far as you can get. (Not quite but almost).

My little cousin had to have an emergency appendectomy yesterday. poor kid. she's doing well though.

went to the new fondue restaurant for a friends birthday. OMG cheese and chocolate dipped things are the best. weigt watchers definitely not approved.

Mailing off my 3rd secondary tomorrow. Alabama, TN, and Vandy show the love!!! 🙂
 
BUMP!!! 2013 is in the building!
 
Please dont meet up to write essays. That would be really lame!

That would be cool to meet all of you. Unfortunately I will only be in So Cal...home sweet home...and only there for a few short days...then back to Killadelphia😱
 
Where you from Riceman?

Hey, hey class of 2013! I'm hoping this year is my year.


Lotta CA people here. Anyone from a bit further east?
 
Hey y'all. Wow, lot's of Cali peeps. I'm in Boston, but I go to LA for work about once a month. It's neat that a bunch of you might meet up. 🙂 I'm looking forward to running into some of you on the interview trail (mostly since that means I'll be getting interviews. 😀 Kidding.)
 
Good morning '13ers!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Busy morning in the lab for me here... I can't believe that July is basically over. I have a personal goal of finishing all of my secondaries that I have come in by July 31st... Thursday, ah! I need to get moving, still 5 left.

-BP 🙂
 
Another LA'er in here, specifically La Canada Flintridge and I went to UCLA
