I withdrew happily from a lot of schools well before May 15... it was easy once I realized they had over $1000 of my money 😱
 
is it common for places to allow you to move in your stuff early and not pay rent for those months?

If you make it through the program, yeah. I mean, they have a high attrition but 99% of people match into US residencies. Their match list is pretty impressive, radiation oncology at Cornell and ortho at U of T are good matches for any school. Of course a pretty high % of their grads are going to go into primary care but i mean what do you expect?

I am sick of my art history paper😡😡😡... all of my analyses are turning out to be the same... I think I should take a break and study for my Turkish final or my other Art History final...

By the way.. 6/10 pages=12/20 pages double spaced... I prefer to write my papers single spaced... plus thinking I only have 4 more pages left is a lot nicer than thinking I have 8 pages left🙁

Personally, I hate the length requirements that teachers put on their papers. I think they should leave it up to the student. THree pages of good analysis is better than 12 pages of crap, but 12 pages of indepth analysis is the best. Then grade accordingly.
 
chubby, but how do you know when to stop?? lol i take classes were the papers are no longer than 5-7pgs LOL because I hate writing papers

I LOVE writing papers (im weird).

I wish there weren't length requirements either, because sometimes I like to write more... :laugh:

Gah I'm a nerd...

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!?!?!??!😡 Also, I like to type double-spaced. It makes it seem like it's going faster, cuz every half hour to an hour or so you're like, "Bam, another page bites the dust!"
 
I just received a PM from someone asking if we could make a pre-med timeline sticky... telling the prominent time to take the MCAT, start applications, etc.
It was a fairly new member to SDN, and might be something worth looking into for the Pre-Allo mods. My MCAT powers don't have any say over this one..

Hmmm... my first thought is, "Hey, that would be kinda neat."

My second thought is that it's kind of problematic. How do you tell someone when to start volunteering or looking for research opportunities? Isn't the answer to that pretty much always ASAP? Isn't the answer to "When do I take the MCAT" pretty much always "When you're ready?" What do you do for people who are thinking about a year off? In retrospect, I kind of wish that I'd given more thought to a year off since it seemed like such a good experience for so many people, but part of the reason that I didn't even think about it was that the pre-med office at my school said we HAD to apply summer after our junior year.

So I'm somewhat conflicted. On the one hand, some people could probably benefit from being given a general outline of what to do when, especially when some pre-med offices at colleges are so woefully inept in getting this info to applicants. But on the other hand, it might cause some people undue anxiety and make them think they're "failing" as a pre-med if they haven't started studying for the MCAT by fall of their junior year. I want people to feel like they can do this process on their own terms and not feel like they have to fit into the cookie-cutter mold that everyone thinks a "good premed" should follow.

So I don't know; perhaps I'll bring it up to some of the other pre-allo mods. What do you guys think about it; would you have found a "pre-med timeline" helpful?
 
sounds like ur school was on top of things myuu. that's nice, we often hear of premed committees making applicants' stuff late because of their sluggishness..

And then there are those of us that didn't HAVE premed committees.
 
i think it would cause undue anxiety to have a timeline thread..
they can always post and ask right? and i totally agree about not wanting cookie cutter premeds
 
then again, I didn't "fit the pre-med mold", so this type of timeline wouldve been useless for me probably... except for the actual application part, but don't we answer those questions every year? Maybe we could timeline just the applications cycle part?
