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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
morning y'all! 😀

rivers has a bad attitude, manning is getting old and rothelsberger is irresponsible. i vote brady
Rivers is the biggest tool that ever tooled a tool. I went to high school across the street from NC State's campus -- he's a complete and utter jerk.

you're killing me classy. the other posters are right, rivers is the most talented. he is fiery, a leader, an accurate passer, and it's not his fault the entire team has been injured the last couple of playoffs (although 2007 was a choke job against the patriots...i think sportcenter ran a "top 10 ways the chargers lost to the patriots"). the media east coast bias in sports is why people have a bad perception of rivers, they never give him the credit he deserves, and they always verbally blow jay cutler, the biggest diva of them all!

and i think we're talking about eli manning, not peyton.

👍 to the bolded

:wtf: to the italicized. Rivers spent his college career ACC. He's the reason Chuck Amato had a job for 6 years coaching the Pack. He got plenty of East Coast love during college, and didn't live up to the hype in his pro-transition. Like I said, I'm not a fan (in fact, in those years of my life, I was a rabid Duke fan, God help me), but I think he could've acheived a lot more if he'd capitalized on his potential his rookie year.

So annoying. You can only hear about the Red Sox, Yankees, Celtics, and Patriots so much before it gets really, really old.

True. And I'm a Sox/Pats fan. I'd actually like to follow the Giants (my college roommate moved to SF and is a RABID fan), but they barely get any coverage at all. Plus there's my beloved 'Canes -- but good luck watching a game on TV, even if you're IN the RTP area!

PS -- interview potential questions http://www.medaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/premed_interviewquestions.pdf
am i the only one not really preparing for interviews by looking at random qs like this? I see other people doing it and writing answers but shouldnt you already know the answers? Isnt the interview the time to be yourself and not spout pre formed bs like you would on a secondary? I guess im just taking the approach of not worrying, maybe i should be:scared:. The only things im even bothering to come up with a pre formed answer to is why medicine and why school X since those are near guarantees and id like to have something well thought out.

The only interviews I've ever been to have been for business consulting. I'm not prepping each question, but I'm curious about what type of questions they'll ask at med school interviews. If there's something I never considered as a question, I might research it (mainly thinking about healthcare reform here), but for the most part it's just curiosity.

It's not really pre-forming an answer but more of getting rid of the shock value a question may have or making sure you are able to answer it.
 
How are the interview dates for Case/CCLCM? Pretty late in the cycle at this point?
Just called. The lady said they start on like 9/25 or something for CCLCM. They still have all their days open. Don't know about Case itself though.

G'morning everyone. Materials and Methods section of my thesis today!
 
Michigan sent out an e-mail today with a pretty sweet layout of pictures and information of all the interviewees for 8/28. Is this common?

Oh yeah, link.
 
I'm just perusing the Interview Feedback here and answering some questions to myself. The Interview Feedback of SDN is just totally awesome.

first date for case available is 11/9. so i had to schedule that interview much later along with cclcm.
 
whats errbody doin now

eating lunch in my cube. Brought the ketchup bottle b/c i like to put it on celery and didn't want to limit my ketchup consumption. I forgot that ketchup squeeze bottles typically make farting noises when used.

Quiet cubes + farting ketchup bottles = awkward situations. 😳

uninitiated. try to expand your ketchup palate, and you'd be surprised how utterly fantastic it is. on eggs, on mac&cheese, it's FANTABULOUS

Wendy's fries + frosty = eventual obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc. but well worth it.
 
you really shouldn't ruin mac n cheese like that.

and i think i make it to wendy's about once a year, but they're better than mcdonalds anyday. at least they dont add beef fat, or whatever.:scared:
 
yay bryson!
ps how did you end up being the 2014 mascot, anyway?
Thanks! I got voted mascot of 2014. I nominated myself, and I voted for it by myself. It was a landslide victory. 1-0
CONGRATS! 😀

Thanks!

I started ketchup on eggs in high school. My boarding school had really really bad tasting eggs, so that's all I could do to make it better. Now I love it.

Try it on:
-Grilled Cheese
-Asparagus (I used to do this more than I do now)
 
oops, sorry - i lied. ciello also likes ketchup on grilled cheese at work, where there is no tomato soup.
 
Urgh, my lab people keep not being in there when I want to go in. This is what happens when they don't give me a key all of last year.
So, looks like I'm going to hate 90% of my classes this semester. boo.
I've gotten far too spoiled with last year being all Bio electives and free electives. :laugh:
 
yay bryson!

i think that was back when we were being a deck of cards. ksmi was queen of 2014, i was ace of 2014, rama kandra was the jack of 2014... and bryson made himself the mascot. :laugh:

has anyone ever had a letter sent to AMCAS, but then the app still says letter not received? then i checked michigan's status page because it updates instantly, and it says they got A letter, but there is still a blank spot for where the letter should be... does that make any sense? maybe it will be changed later??
 
anyone on this thread have a GWU invite except Lunn
 
Woo!!!



:laugh: I was the bestest queen ever.

I think there's a joke to be made in there somewhere 😛

Duke will be submitted in the next 30 minutes!!!!!! AHHH finally -- been working on these things for weeks!

oh, so here's how i don't always love my committee secretary, as nice as she is. I provided a separate letter form with an ID, and she decided to submit a new letter under the old committee letter. I'm assuming my schools will be nice and confused about that. Yay for emailing them all AGAIN! wahoo!

same thing happened to me... for some reason my committee letter was just a bit slow on the uptake.

hey,🙁.

aw, you know we love you, Blue :laugh:
