Sounds great! I called them earlier this week and they said my file was with the admissions committee and I should expect a 2-3 week wait. Bruin...I hate waiting! 🙁

Haha! I love it! It has a sweet ring to it! I'm sorry Berk, I know you do. Just keep telling yourself that good things come to those who wait and persevere! I'm gonna be praying for you because I would love to be in the same class as you! Even if it is not UCLA, I would still be praying for you!
 
i wonder if its ever done.. that is do schools ever receive letters like:
dear med school,

i would like to withdraw my application, but would really like to give my interview spot to so and so. he really loves your school and would really appreciate the opportunity to show you how outstanding he is.

thank you,

That would be pretty tight if you could do that!

Did you get my PM with a link to that book "The Medical School Interview" by Jeremiah Fleenor, MD, MBA? I was recommended it by a member. I read it tonight, thoroughly enjoyed it, and found it to be very beneficial. I'd highly suggest checking it out.

chad, columbia's your top choice too? man, waiting until march will kinda suck..

whee! im so proud of the class of 2013.. and we got a cool graduation year too!

Yeah, it is by a mile. I was completely blown away by my experience there on my interview day, and I would go there over any other school in a heartbeat. Before visiting Columbia I thought the whole "fit" thing was a load of bull, but now that I know what a "perfect fit" feels like, I'm a believer! It really is the perfect school for me, and I would consider myself SO lucky and fortunate to get in!

Gah! Waiting sucks!

The PM had a link to Barnes and Noble--they ship fast. Amazon has it but sometimes shipping is slow b/c of private sellers. I got mine in 3 days. its 90 easy pages to read, so having it for a week or two would be plenty.

hhehe I'm glad you like the sound of your new name...bruin! I like it too 😉

Ok, you pray for a UCLA interview for me and I'll pray for a UCLA acceptance for you! Ooo this is exciting! If they give me an interview invite next week, I'll try to schedule it on Nov 15 (if possible) Now that would be fun, eh?
 
almost the beginning of a fresh new week. here's to hoping for an interview this week! wish me luck, guys and gals!

I thought you lived in Richmond... which was not very "country" when I visited...

Good luck:luck:

Wish me luck for my genetics midterm... It is tomorrow at 8 am, and I am not ready due to senioritis, acceptance, and not caring in general...

jgberken, they told you how long until you will hear back? they just told me they had no idea?

Hmm...I called twice and they gave me the same number (2-3 weeks)...but they said my file was with the admissions committee and they were just waiting to get it back. Maybe your file isn't even under review yet?

Well, I actually live about 15 miles north of Richmond in the southernmost part of Hanover County. It's not super "country," but our house is own a bit of land down a dirt road, and that is way too "country" for me. I'm urban/suburban all the way. I can't wait to get out of the country and move into the city!

Good luck on your genetics test! I LOVE genetics, and I'm sure you'll do fine!

Good luck rjpark2 - I'll keep my fingers crossed for some good news this week!
 
Good morning everyone! 🙂

Good luck on midterms/interviews/acceptances this week! I finished up my finals last week and my new class doesn't start until the 10th, so I've got a couple weeks off. I'm glad we took our final early - it's nice to have more than just a day or two in between classes.

Hope you all had a productive and/or peaceful weekend.
 
Blessed morning everybody. Hope everybody had a great weekend. It's a new week. I hope and pray we all have a prosperous week. Let's get it! God bless!
 
Thanks!
good luck to people with exams, interviews and what have you.
 
Yay for being done with midterm!

Good Morning SDN!
 
Yay for acknowledging acceptances!

I finally had some concrete proof I was accepted to Baylor. (I was just taking my mom's word for it 😉)

Congrats!

Since you are approaching your 2000th post, are you waiting for something momentous?
 
Curiosity got the best of me so I broke down and called EVMS today...

ACCEPTED! :hardy: Although I think I prefer VCU...

I feel SO fortunate and blessed to have multiple acceptances in October. Now I'm just praying for Maryland to come through (probably my second choice after Columbia).

Oooh, good point. I didn't even notice. I should post something special or important for my 2,000th post...Hm. I'll be thinking about it 😉

Thanks for the reminder, funky!

Congrats, Chad! 🙂

I called Upstate, and they told me that my file had not gone to committee yet! Sigh, more waiting...

Good luck with chem lab reports! Oh, the days of chem, now long gone for me. I was a chem minor, actually.

Anyway, good luck getting done with everything 🙂

Isn't that a wonderful feeling? I just want my student e-mail to come in the mail. But I suspect I will not get it until after May 15th.

Yuck. I hate lab reports... The medical school I get into, and decide to attend will determine whether I need to take Biochem lab in Spring Quarter...:scared:

Whoa whoa WHOA... what schools require biochem lab??

Oh, some med schools require 1 year of bio with lab. I have two quarters of lab, and I need a third quarter for the schools that require lab. If the school I decide upon attending does not require the 1 year of lab, then I shall take some other class which is much more exciting...

I hate prehistory. It is the most boring class I have ever taken, ever. It's basically here are some skulls, here are some stone tools. They used these tools to eat. The end.

It wouldn't be too bad if the midterm wasn't a 20 page paper on the above.

Math Proofs is the best class.

That doesn't sound like fun! I have to make sure I have all the requirements for the schools I got accepted to...It'll suck if I have to take a hard class next semester. 🙁

Here are some possibilities:

(1) Schools that require two semesters of chemistry with lab where one of the semesters is fulfilled by an AP exam.

(2) UF COM requires it...just because they require it.

I'm not sure what other schools require it...but just throwing it out there.

Oh it is nothing like that. I need 2 bio classes spring quarter to graduate. I was planning on taking biostats and either molecular-microbiology lab or biochem lab. But my Turkish class complicates things because it is at the same time that mol-micro lab is, so I will have to end up taking biochem lab... But if I decide to go to a school that does not require a whole year of bio lab, then I shall take a class on some other more interesting bio topic...

Hmm.. do most schools not give credit for Gen Chem and Lab for AP Chem? My undergrad gave me credit for Gen Chem 1/2 with labs.

And wouldn't biochem lab not count as inorganic chemistry lab anyway?

I just panicked and looked up all the schools I am applying to requirements for biochem and none of them require lab. I hope I don't need biochem lab for anything. I think maybe I should double check..😱
 
To follow jgberken's lead (and to celebrate my Iowa acceptance), I made a seasonal avatar.. I hope you like it! :hardy:
