hi everyone!

Sentinel, we'll see how you feel once school starts haha
 
I'm still debating if I want to fly to Yosemite for some rock climbing over labor day weekend...


you should! that sounds awesome!!

That amazon prime deal has made my day.

i signed up🙂 i'm excited!

I'm a goody two shoes. I can't not go to classes. Especially knowing how much each one costs.. :barf:

haha that's how i was in undergrad too, i always felt like i was gonna miss something important if i didn't go. hmm i wonder how much each med school class costs...

45k for tuition/200ish days of school=$225 a day ick!

The yosemite trip sounds fun - but it's really going to depend on if there's exams the week after or not...

That amazon prime deal is AWESOME. Came at the perfect time too... need to order me some routers, modems and my home theater system!

Yea I did that exact same calculation mid way through freshman year... and I've attended like 95% of class since. Even at my postbacc program at columbia I didn't skip ANY class. Actually - now that I'm paying more and more of the bill for school myself.. yea I doubt I'll be skipping classes. Well - maybe I'll skip class to study? 🙁

Biochem will change his mind:laugh:

😏 that bad eh?

I love that you guys are talking about Thanksgiving already🙂

2015 is being boring...can I come bug you guys?🙂

sure! (btw I had to fight the urge to say "you can bug me anytime, baby" 🤣)

Aw man....I guess it's me. I'm the threadkiller.

NEVAR! That's MY title dammit :meanie:
 
man i have a feeling it's gonna be the same in miami, perhaps extending to all days
I think this year I'm only going to my PI's lectures. Which is like 3.
😏 that bad eh?

O yeah. Psych and biochem made me want to hurt myself. the only redeeming qualities is that both are money in the bank as far as grades go.
 
i dont get it, classes are online. how do you lose money/anything by not going to classes if you keep up with ppl in your class/have a good relationship w/ classmates during small group

Hahaha.....Sentinel, you're very ambitious...but I would hurt you😉

yea i don't get it either, listening to lectures on 1.5x - 2x speed seems much more efficient.
 
going to lectures no matter what because you feel like you need to get your money's worth --> sunk cost?
 
Wow I made out pretty well, paying 525 a month for a 2br townhouse
 
i would guess UVM does. not sure how familiar/cool you are with the snow, vermont isnt bad but the winters do suck

haha i grew up in RI until 12 but I dunno, dont really remember what cold weather/snow is like, haha

stayclassy, I want to be you when I grow up. Please tell UVM I love them🙂

funny enough, my #1 school was USC Keck (dr. drew is a role model of mine)... UVM is awesome though, have you been to burlington?
 
david ortiz and every pitcher in the league are nearly overdosing on roids and its pretty obvious
 
well i should have said 1050 a month for the whole thing (my br is 525/mo) my b lolll

I don't even listen to the lectures anymore since we have super detailed note packets. That probably varies by school though. There were only like 2 profs all year where you had to listen to the lectures to get all the relevant material.

No, I've actually never been to Vermont at all. Are you there yet?
 
damn. u should rent out the bigger room for 600 a month to some international kid that doesnt speak english

idk, around here they usually contact the local international student association and live in some place mad cheap
 
I actually would drive for the interview if time allowed. If I were lucky enough to get one, that is🙂 I'm trying to ride as many roller coasters as I can in the next year; I'd make it part of the Northeast roller coaster trip.

are you working or going to school right now?
 
are you working or going to school right now?


Both🙁

Haven't decided if I am going to take classes in the fall or not yet. I am technically done with pre-reqs after this Thursday (yay!) but I could always take some more math/try to bump the GPA a little in case this season doesn't go well.

My instinct is to work more this fall and worry about more classes in Spring.

I'm leaving orlando on thursday to drive up there.

oh alright, that makes more sense. garage parking?
street parking but its a private lot apparently. i dont know how cars work in the snow lol.

drive there in the fall, its a pretty sick drive
yeah it is... I interviewed there during foliage season. Cougardoc, I would also recommend staying in the local bed and breakfasts, they're awesome.

Our stats are pretty similar and I have a lot of EC's as well....I am hoping this gives me a shot at UVM. Have a good time on the drive! Stop at King's Dominion for me🙂 I've done the Florida to NJ drive before...it is fun.
 
theres always some rich asian kids with those zelda haircuts that drive beamer benz or bentleys

lol yea i know what ur talking about, they usually just buy a house tho, or live in some super upscale apt. they wear those real tight jeans too :laugh:

Umm...I don't think you can improve your GPA by much, it's probably a good idea to clear some time for interviewing. If you get quite a few you you might be away pretty often and you might actually end up with worse grades! Those things take some time to prepare and can be exhausting at times too.

You're right.....I am totally being a pessimist. I don't expect to get many interviews.

but you likely will trust me on that one 🙂. You have the baseline stats and the im interesting non trad card you cant go wrong😉. Youll see what i mean in a few months. Interviewing + classes kinda sucked. I bombed my last quarter lol..
 
Hey hey people!

So here I am, packing up all my stuff, and I am having a serious debate with myself as to whether or not I should save my notes from college. Granted, mind you, I have the majority of these notes typed up anyway and saved to my computer. Why must I be such a pack rat? :laugh:

So... Should I throw them away or save them? Haha I come to you for the answer even though I know what your answer will be...

UVM loves EC's and early apps, you should have a great shot 🙂

Toss them!!!

I saved mine all the way through grad school and it was really not worth it. Save everything electronic, toss everything paper; unless it is a 10+ page paper you wrote that you don't have an electronic copy of.

Awwww...thanks dude🙂 You're right. I need to think positively!!!🙂



Also, lstone...on the tossing notes thing....if it gives you any perspective, I keep EVERYTHING. I am almost to the point where I need to be on an A&E show. But I am still telling you to toss them😉
