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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm definitely flying back the night of, because I'll already be missing Virology the next Tuesday because of my Seattle trip. I can't afford to miss 2 Tuesdays during the first 3 weeks of school.
Thanks for the heads-up, I'm actually just starting looking for flights. Since I would leave on a weekend, I could easily drive to NOLA to leave. Plus, my parents could drop me off and pick me up from the airport.

Yeah, I think I'll just either drive down there or get someone else to drive me there. None of the Baton Rouge flights work out for me. This is crazy planning this stuff.

Yeah, especially since my interview is 4 weeks from today!!! :scared:
The NOLA prices aren't that bad, it looks like I can get round-trip for about $430, but that's with one stop each way. I really don't care about non-stop, it just makes things more difficult and more expensive.

I had a buddy who did 4 back to back to back to back interviews last cycle. Talk about crazy planning.

Yeah, I found one like that too.

Wow!
 
man, work was SO quiet today. the lab across the hall was basically missing today - they went to watch the bears in training. it was weird. now my lab is gone too, so I suppose it's an early night for me. Partay!
 
I checked MCAT score today after seeing Ciello scores.

unfortunately I was only able to get this

12, 7, 11, Q
 
that 7 is going to limit me. no matter how much I try, my VR could never improve. I will retake Jan 31 if I become unsuccessful 🙁

Well, it's certainly not stellar. But it's not the end of the world. I hope you do better on the retake, but I hope you won't have to retake in the first place.
 
That's still a 30. 👍

Agreed- apply broadly and hope for the best :xf:

Nice score CielloStelatto btw!

I'm on the fence with mine since I was also considering applying for MD/PhD programs and will end up mixing up the schools I apply to. I'm going to go cold turkey on SDN now that I don't have to kill every waking moment waiting for a score. Time to start writing secondary essays and doing stuff that doesn't involve sitting in front of my computer or work (when I'm not working on secondaries). But before then I'm going to go down to a bar. Good luck all :luck:

You got your score today too?
 
question - does anyone know if it will speed things up at my schools if I re-submit amcas because the mcat score is in there, and I had previously indicated "another mcat test date - i.e. keep waiting" and that isn't the case any longer? Obviously I don't want amcas to erase my current score, just erase the "hold on" status.


I've heard it automatically uploads after 48 hours. In any case you might want to contact AMCAS before spending extra $$ to resubmit.
 
Trying to finish up Vandy's secondary. I wanna schedule it and such. Other than that, nothing exciting.

Don't you already have an interview there? How come you have to do a secondary for that school?
 
i think it makes sense. why bother filling out a secondary if theyre not gonna interview you. it just is a ncie way of doing things i think.
 
UVA invite! Yay! 🙂
:soexcited:
Interview at UVA!!! Holy crap, I'm quite surprised!!! 😍
What's your date, ksmi? We should fly together.
😀 😀 😀
BTW, kick-ass MCAT, Ciello.
:soexcited:
Yeah, they were supposed to come out tomorrow, but I randomly checked to bookmark the page, and they were there!

I knew I made some stupid mistakes here and there, but I'm totally happy overall. Even score too!
13, 13, 13, S
:soexcited:

wow, Wow, WOW. It's been a busy day. Good job guys!

In other news, I stayed off the BU rejection train for yet another day (well I guess there's still time today). Have they screened me into the next round? I hope so!
 
I am getting a feeling that rejection emails will fill my inbox soon b/c most schools are waiting for me to get my new MCAT score. Now that I have it...they will reject me because of that 7 in VR. I'm still holding out though.

I have some back-ups that I've considered doing but i'm not going to like it since it will be another full year of bs. Hopefully it doesn't have to come down to this.

Pray for me guys!!! :xf::luck::luck::xf::xf:

p.s. Redrower...do you want me to take off your quote in my signature?
 
My caved in kitchen will not be fixed until FRIDAY!!!! It is still pooping out insulation and my cat is trying to play with it so I have to keep him locked up in my bedroom. So now my bedroom smells like catbox since there is no circulation in my house. Anyway I am super scared of bats and rabies shots so I am hiding in my room on my computer. Maybe I should move my TV in here....
 
I think that's better than checking your mail and not getting anything 🙁

Hopefully something shows up this week.
 
i'm so glad to be approaching the end of these essays. i've lost count of how many times i've complained about them.
 
It's so quiet in here... everyone must be working hard on those secondaries! Or partying after getting MCAT results 🙂
