FSU all the way. I have to do the 2010 AMCAS and do the Early Decision. They said that my secondaries, LORs will carry over..

Here it is. There's probably some typos b/c I copied it from a piece of paper last year, and never made it through the whole thing when I was writing my answers.

EDIT: Apparently, I'm bad at attaching. How do I make it show up in its own little frame below my text?
EDIT2: Thanks, got it!

yes, finally one professor out of my three professors turns his LOR in. Two more to go.
Seriously, how hard is it to put a ****ing stamp on the envelope and mail the ****ing thing?

Ha ha. The worst is waiting for your last one to submit, because then you know s/he is just a slacker.

apparently very hard since one of my profs made me come into his office and then seal the letter and mail it off for him........i admire his lazyness thoguh:meanie:. On the bright side i have 3/4 letters now...assuming none get lost in the mail! Now i gotta force the last one...

Nice idea!:idea: He's probably had students who have had Letters lost in the past and wants to make sure that you know he mailed it.


...Or he got video of you stuffing the envelope and is going to blackmail you because you waived your right to read the letter...


I'm voting for blackmail.

The only true member amongst us... Well, minus Ksmi, unless she shows up to her interviews without teeth, excessive gas, and in a bridal gown.
 
Oh my lord... I am sooooo tired... I sat on the phone with a patient today and called him the wrong name for about ten minutes... Then when I got off the phone I said his 'wrong' name again and was wondering why he sounded off.

So I started replaying the conversation and reviewing his info, then I was like...:smack:

I did that with a patient who was already angry for other reasons a couple months ago, face to face. So embarrassing. She had donated to the organization in the past too 🙁

I remember back when I was volunteering in the ER, my co-volunteer called this lady, "sir". We all laughed but I really couldn't blame her because the woman really looked like a man. I felt bad for the volunteer, though.

So, in the living room with my parents...

ksmi's mom to ksmi's dad: "We could always put ksmi up for adoption..."

:wtf:
Click to expand...

haha. now i'm just picturing your parents referring to you as "kissme." "we could always put little kissme up for adoption!" "kissme, please take out the trash!" "go to your room, kissme!"
 
wait, come to think of it... why don't they want you, ksmi? 😕 you seem like a pretty golden child to me 😉
 
does anyone else feel utterly incapable of posting on SDN without some type of ridiculous smiley? my posts feel empty without them! :zip:

I think there was something on the news about adoption. And she wanted to see if I was paying attention to anything going on around me. I still pretended that I didn't hear.

best TV show of all time.
 
aw damnit they closed my "Pre-Med FML" thread :laugh:
 
also, i feel that i am getting waaaay too freaked out about my activities descriptions. i decided to go the paragraph/full sentence route rather than do bullet points. i'm just so worried, but i keep telling myself that my job with these is to sound interesting and... well, experienced. and most importantly to pique the adcoms' interest so they want to interview me. right? 😳

also, my research descriptions are driving me nuts! did you guys talk about specific duties you had in the lab? (i.e. ran ELISAs, did qPCR, did blots of many sorts, isolated X species, etc.) or did you focus on the thrust of the research? (i.e. examined the effect of X on Y and found that Z happened.) or some of both?

bahhh i am turning into the basket case i promised myself i wouldn't be. foiled by my own brain! 😎

ok, you *sort of* made your way back into my heart with that comment. i can't believe that show was cancelled!

why bother spending time making extremely witty humor that feeds on itself every episode through the entire series when you can reap massive profits from garbage like reality TV and the rest of the slop that harangues our airwaves today.

I feel like my situation isn't really relevant since I didn't do experiments, but I just wrote about the objectives of my research

Your format for the work activities is fine I wouldnt worry, theres no clear consensus on what should be done and both work fine and will get you accepted. For research, you need to explain your duties and explain the project. If you are short on space remember you dont need to go into extreme detail about that electrophoresis or some of the other things like that.
 
I am writing paragraphs but not even approaching the limit. I am going to talk about the big picture a bit and the types of things we do. I do have a question about it though.
so My research I did as a volunteer last semester, and then presented it for my senior assignment (inter-departmental poster) I am first author. This summer I am being paid to continue the research. We are presenting the research at the neurobio conf in chicago (will I see any of you there). I am first author on that abstract as well. I assume we will probably publish our findings as they are relatively significant (found evidence of transcriptional feedback mechanisms in GluR receptors with AMPA homologs that have never been discussed). I am also doing research for credit this summer/next fall. How many activities should I list this as?
 
So I just got an email from TPR. They want me to teach the ACT. Hmm, at first I wasn't very happy, but now that I've thought about it, the ACT is easier, and I'll get to teach 4 different subjects instead of just one. So, I guess that's a good thing. :shrug:

Don't you have to go through a composite evaluation for your letters? The composite includes all your letters from school.

You took ACT in high school?
 
I didn't do so hot on the ACT either. Did much better in SAT.

I'm working on secondaries, and trying to keep myself off SDN.
It's hard to concentrate on secondaries when I don't even know if they'll be the same for next year.
Oh well, if they're not then at least I've thought about some of the questions I'll be asked at interviews. I'm going through my schools alphabetically. I'm already done writing down first drafts of three!
 
aww well im here to stay
so everybody better come back
