Class of 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I got on FB to look for you. I had a good night 😉

I was on FB!!! But I'm glad. You'll have to fill me in later.

Things to do before going to sleep:

1. Brush teeth- check
2. Change into pajamas- check
3. Get yelled at by mom for "walking too loudly"- check
4. kiss my dog- check
5. check e-mail for last time- check
6. Post this message- check
7. look at ksmi pic for 50th time- will do.

I was gonna get mad, but then I realized that this was post #11111.

That was for Caesar. 😉
 
Ok so I did a visit to the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine today, and on my tour we stopped and talked to some pre-M1's. No big deal, but never have I felt closer to being IN the medical profession, because these people looked no older/different/wiser/more mature than my soon-to-be-senior classmates in undergrad. All I could think was, "This could be me in exactly 1 year." 😱 :scared: 😍
 
Wake up, 2014. You have a whole day of fresh neuroticism ahead of you. GET STARTED.

You really missed absolutely nothing.

I was gonna say something... what was it? I don't know. I'm sleepy. Oh, my dream last night involved SDN. That's when you know you are obsessed. 😳
 
I've been awake. TPR training today. Don't miss me too much, SDNers.
i thought you didnt get it, did they decide to take you?

Hi guys! I just wanted to pop in here since I got my mcat scores back and can now feel fairly confident that I will be in the class of 2014 ( I didn't want to jinx it before haha). How's everyone doing?

PS-I have been to jamaica

grats on the mcat! its a great feeling knowing you wont have to take that beast again 🙂.

Also, when schools ask about like working with people from diverse backrounds does that only pertain to race...or can it pertain to socio-economic conditions as well?

I think it pertains to socio-economic situations as well.

Cool, 4 secondaries done, 32 left.😀

Do people really walk up to you and peddle drugs?

Hahah I was like 16 when I went and with my parents so this didn't happen to me. But my brother went with 3 friends during spring break their junior year of college and yes, people really did walk up to them and peddle drugs.

Make sure to go to Dunn's River Falls. It's a blast to climb it if you're into that kind of stuff.

Edit: First time on TOP!
 
Are you serious??!? 😱

Edit: I mean you're seriously doing 36 secondaries?!

If it makes you feel better im doing 45:scared:. But seriosuly its not hard...these things repeat themselves like crazy. After you write about 10 different secondaries you realize you can copy and paste damn near every essay to another secondary. Every school always asks like how u can add to diveristy or what makes you special. I cant tell you how many times ive copied and pasted my mt sinai essay to the others. Also most dont relaize theres a large amount of schools that require no essays. of the 45 im doing there are 14 that last year that had no essays making the secondary nothing more then a LOR and money request. So in reality there are only 31 for me to do at max...with the overlap between them id say there are maybe 23 or so i really have to do.

nah, probably end up being 25 or something, I doubt I will get 36 secondaries.

But it's kind of hard to stay motivated to do these secondaries right now. I don't think I will get down to business on these until I actually receive them from the schools later this month.
 
Night. Don't break a hip.

Please, woman! I'll have to start watching out for that next year. This year is the incessant bladder leakage that is getting to me... 😛

Awww, you were dreaming about me again?

Congrats, man! I would have done the same thing, but I'm not superstitious. :shrug:

so what is the point of applying for 36 schools if you're only doing 25 secondaries. Isn't it a waste of money?

really now? which schools have "non-essay" secondaries?
 
Elijah, we have 7 schools in common. why not add in Tulane? Is it b/c they don't waive secondaries? and yes...we'll also need divine interventions. I am praying everyday for that. :xf:

Blue, we have 6 schools in common. See you on the trail!!! :xf:

muhahaha! I still win with 46 😀 lol
but you're totally right that there is great overlap and there's probably only like 4-5 main essays and then other smaller random essays that aren't hard at all

tulane wont take FAP and really the NOLA area scares me to death...id avoid that place like the plague. Not to mention with my app....id find it hard to believe that tulane would be the only place to accept me. I applied to many other similar lower tier schools id imagine it would never come down to tulane or nothing.

As for which schools had no essays last year....
aecom
boston (they have an optional one...that I would have nothing to fill out for...not to mention its optional and boston explictly states you wont be penalized for it.
drexel
jefferson (optional again)
MCW
NYMC
SLU (optional)
SUNY upstate (essay just says like if you are not enrolled in school tell me what you are doing....so its not a real essay or anything that would take you longer then 5 mins.)
univ. cincinnati (similar to suny upstate)
rochester
univ vermont (optional **** agian)
suny buffalo
UCSF
mayo

The optional essays are all just like "do you have anything else you want to add" There are people who swear you need to say some BS about how you want to go to that school more then anything in world, while others fill out nothing and get accepted. my personal feeling is optional is optional and if they wanted you to say why school X they would ask. Not to mention i have no real reason to go to jefferson and the like. If i did say something it would be like uhh i like the curriculum, serving community, etc...6-7 sentances of bs later you and your interviewer are both wondering why the **** u wasted time writing that lol. 😉

Everyone acts like writing secondaries for just 12-15 schools is a bitch... Hope they just overblow it because 46 sounds like a crazy amount.... Wow....
 
Wow wow wow, you guys went nuts last night. Especially Lukkie. Drunko.
Verified and my GPA was exactly the same!
Welcome to the club

Would you be creeped out if I made that picture my wallpaper?
Do it. And print one out on poster paper at kinkos.

So I just made a countdown for the number of secondary essays left to write and then a countdown for the number of schools that I have finished the secondary essays for. 9 essays left. 7 schools left. Woot!
I hate countdowns. They make me depressed.
4 schools done. 32 schools left!🙁
Get workin man!
I'm not that into geriatric people. Sorry.
HAHAHAHHAHAHA! That's hilarious.

now shes yelling at me lmao, im telling her im writing up my medical school application, i have my msar open
Tell her to leave earlier next time.
i hardly know this girl, bring her back to my apt and first thing she does is plop on my couch and turn on the tv like she owns the place
That means she's comfortable in front of you. It's not an insult.

Dinosaurs --> extinction --> Ice Age and rise of mammals --> meltdown --> humanity gets smart --> AMCAS
HAHA. You forgot to put secondaries and interviews in there, but it's understandable b/c those havn't happened yet.
This is no joke, a warm female body helps to reduce the spins. I have tried and tested this method.
Hah, not always.
what does l stand for?
Location.
So many of your posts cracked me up when I was reading through. Especially this one.
Man I'm so sexy. Ksmi, don't you like sexy men?
Probably?
Sexiness is the biggest turn-off ever.
Oh, nope. I was wrong.
Eiffel Tower


:highfive:
Wobbly H.
Skiing.

i wonder if I will be posting so much once I actually start medical school.
I'd be willing to bet that I won't post after starting school.
Not if you're at school with me. You'll be busy doing other things.
You set yourself up for some comments on this one.
Night. Don't break a hip.
Hahah. If you break a hip, I'd be able to get one of the geriatric assessments for the class that I'm in now.
wow seriously. what have yall been talking about for 5-6 pages last night?

did i miss out on anything? and blue...i don't want to hear about your obsession for ksmi. 😀
It never ends.
nah, probably end up being 25 or something, I doubt I will get 36 secondaries.
You know that schools don't have that high of a cutoff for secondaries right?
 
secondary essays, like almost all essays, are never really that hard to write. its only difficult when you don't get interviews. at that moment, you are gonna be like... ****... i should have tailored each individual essay




also remember that secondaries are more than just essays. some will ask you to re-list activities/awards/etc
