So random question... What are people doing they days that they travel for an interview?

For instance, I know I'll be getting to a city early the day before my interview. Obviously I'm going to want to make sure I'm actually prepared for the actual interview. Outside of that though, do you guys plan on going out and seeing the city? Maybe just walking around a couple blocks near where you're staying or maybe grabbing food at a local restaurant?

I've just been wondering about this... (I'm not used to being in a new/different city alone with so much time that's not already allocated to something specific...)
 
Nice to hear your interview went well, Blue.

And ksmi, that's pretty sweet.

I'm waiting for an invite that I can tack onto my Vandy trip, on the way there or back. Unfortunately, that limits the schools to the few within driveable range 🙂xf: Emory...)
Must call my Seattle hotel to confirm stuff...

Secondaries never ask for camass rank, do they? Cause I swear that somewhere I recently clicked "does not rank" only to find out today that my school does. But probably wasn't a school, right?

haha that's what iget for using my iPod.
I meant class rank. Class not camass. Oops
 
Hey everyone - I just have a quick question and didn't want to make a post about it since it has probably been asked before...

If I was verified and completed NUMEROUS secondaries prior to the release of my second MCAT score, I don't need to call/email schools and update them about my score improvement right? Do they get a little message saying that there has been a change in my application automatically or something? Just wondering as some of my application statuses are 'incomplete' due to "Pending 7/31 scores".

Thanks!

It went well. Definitely a relief to get that first interview out of the way, sort of like a monkey off your back.

I haven't seen anything that asks for class/school rank yet, but I've only looked at three secondaries and submitted one...

I don't think it would hurt to contact them. Just give them a call and find out, because with your score improvement you definitely want to make sure that they are evaluating you off your new scores and not your old scores.
 
Congrats Blue and ksmi! 👍 And good luck in Houston. :luck::luck::luck:

Does anyone have any opinions about what I posted earlier?

Unfortunately for me, most of mine required quick get in then get out. When I went to UVA, I got in the afternoon before and walked around the campus for a while, then had dinner with some M2s (this was prearranged, though). Then I chilled in my hotel for a while and got a good night's sleep. My flight was quite a while after the interview, though, and I just stayed at the hotel restaurant then read at the airport.
Unfortunately, the only vacation I can make out of my interviews so far is Vandy because I scheduled it during fall break. So I'm making a road trip and staying Thurs-Sun morning.

Extremely debatable.

Lincecum allowed 2 runs against a team that has 186 home runs on the season (third in the majors). Plus they were at home, in a stadium that gives up a lot of long balls.

Martinez allowed 1 run against an anemic Giants lineup that has 97 HRs (29th out of 30). When Randy Winn is batting 5th you know you don't have a lot of hitting prowess.
 
Um, Pedro actually said Lincecum reminds him of himself, only twice as better. There, end of story.
 
i was just rubbing it in, but pedro's performance was pretty unexpected, lincy's was better of course

pedro in his prime is probably one of the best pitching we will see in our lives though


the san fran vs philly series was a classic, 8 runs total in 3 games. maybe we'll see you guys in post-season (hopefully you get past the rockies and then it would be LA, PHL, STL, CO/SF 😱, that would be amazing)

👍

I think I'm stuck in limbo land as far as the schools I have yet to hear from.

Oh well.

Here's to everyone getting at least one invite today! :luck:
