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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
i just meant that it would stimulate an entertaining and insightful conversation with your date


i love scary/horror/crazy movies though. i find them pretty funny
 

damn you got me figured out. i also have a friend of mine pretend to be a mugger after the movie and act like he's going to rob us. i, of course, save the day. after, i tell the girl that i have to go home to call my grandmother on her birthday and hope that she is comfortable walking home by herself. i have my friend pretend to stalk her (pop up around random trees as shes walking) so she gets scared and she has to call me later in the night. im gonna have to switch my game up now

:wtf:

That's almost too many details to be completely made up.

But, 👍 scary movies
 
my idea of a date is like going to a scary movie, going to olive garden and going somewhere afterward for dessert. and then coming home and telling my friends how sick that movie was and then going to watch it again, getting drunk, going to olive garden in the afternoon hungover. sleep

Which parts of this is the girl involved in?
 
but what if she's the kind of girl that likes to drunkenly re-tell movies and go see them again while eating and being hungover? :whistle:

i think that girl is brooklyn's true love!🙂

hahahaha this is how y'all can tell that i'm bored at work
 
Thanks everyone! I could not stop smiling after getting my interview invite. People probably thought I was insane.

The fantasy league JJ created. It's on Yahoo, and JJ posted the inf about 2-4 pages back in a post with a huge NBA logo. Can't miss it. Already have 10/16 spots filled and it was just put up last night.

I wanna join! Save me a spot! I can't officially join up until I get out of work tonight.

Accepted at Georgetown!

Now back to work. 🙁

Congrats!!!

So back in the day, there was a thread called "SDN's favorite Youtube videos" and I posted "Jizz in my Pants" and I got in trouble for in because it was "inappropriate." 🙁

You have been in trouble before....??

i wanna see paranormal activity, looks like a good date movie

I 😍 scary movies. I've heard that Paranormal Activity was very good. It's supposedly in an avant-guarde filming style... I'll probably go see it Halloween weekend.

Don't worry, we're still sitting on 11 teams, and JJ says there can be a max of 20. You should be good 🙂

She's a real troublemaker; I, on the other hand, have a pristine record.
 
Congrats bamtuba and anyone else I missed prior!!

I loved Paranormal Activity!

Really delivers without all of the gore/dumb "monsters"/etc. The way it is shot really adds to the 'realism'.

2 Interview Invites this morning as well:

- NYMC (going to schedule this later if I can due to the 'meh.' reputation I've heard)
- Downstate! WOO! Was hoping to hear from them. Definitely very excited for this one.

LurkerMom here - need a forum for whining for a moment. Two of my boys have been diagnosed with H1N1, I haven't slept well in a week, and I'm falling hopelessly behind in my classes. I'm so grateful I got into Maryland, but my acceptance is contingent on finishing my 2nd degree, and I'm starting to worry I won't be able to. /freaking out.

🙁 I'm sure you'll be able to pull it off. It's only halfway through the semester anyway. No worries yet. Plenty of time to get caught up.

I don't know how you do it with a family, but if you've gotten this far, I have faith that you'll make it through.

you WILL be able to! all you have to do is finish. you don't have to be perfect or even good. you got into medical school-- the biggest hurdle is behind you. i, too, had H1N1 and while i was miserable for a few days, i recovered pretty quickly overall. i hope your boys start to feel better as fast as i did! and keep in mind that we're rooting for you! :luck:

Good luck to you. People with stories like yours are really the ones that deserve to get in. The next few weeks are going to be rough, but at the end of the tunnel it's going to feel so good 🙂

Debbidala, you can do it! Like dw said, all you have to do is finish at this point! 🙂
 
Wow, you guys are really awesome. Thanks for letting me drop in for encouragement. I don't get discouraged easily, but this week's been a bit rough and I REALLY need some sleep.

Go kill your semester. We believe in you. 👍
 
Congrats Zona and Bamtuba!

So, I got my UVA letter and I was rejected. 🙁

I just don't get it. My confidence is at an all-time low now. That's two outright rejections after interviews. I felt like I really had a shot there. I was on their first interview of the season! Do I really interview that badly? I know I'm already into LSU and I should be counting my blessings, but after getting these invites I had expectations and put all my stock into these other schools. Now I don't even know if I'll have a choice.

Sorry metallica. 🙁 I'm sure you'll get in somewhere else. This process just takes too long.

I know how you feel and it sucks.

Makes you wonder why the heck they even invited you. At least this is what I felt. Just get through it, and don't beat yourself up for feeling bad. You have legit reasons for feeling like you do, just get through it and look ahead to the rest of the news that is soon coming your way (likely to be more positive, I'll bet...)

👍 Hang in there.
 
Sorry to hear that metallica 🙁

There will always be ups and downs throughout this process and I'm sure more ups will be coming your way soon!

Yea that's kinda odd, but the good thing is you already have an acceptance in hand. Maybe you could try some mock interviews?

Interview skills do matter, and there is a myriad of things that you can screw up on. I interviewed pretty poorly last year and I had no clue why, 'cause I have no problem socializing or holding conversations and I don't get nervous or anything either. Turns out it was my posture and general attitude(i.e. unprofessional and lackadaisical), which my friends helped me improve. You could ask some of your friends to help as well. It doesn't necessarily have to be someone who knows medicine, just someone who knows proper interview etiquette. Maybe ksmi can help if she has time?

I see what you're saying and have a feeling that was the case for OSU, but the UVA interview went great. Maybe it is my interviewing (which was no problem at LSU), but maybe it's also one of those "thought it went awesome and it might have, but we still hate you" kind of things.

I don't know.

Thanks for the support, guys. 🙂
 
i have 0 food at home i might steam some broccoli, but thats too much work. ill go with a protein shake

I doubt you have any serious problems, maybe just a little tweak here and there, or maybe it's nothing at all. But if you've got interviews you'd like to nail down, it wouldn't hurt to do a mock or two. I thought my interviews went fine last year too, the conversations went pretty smoothly, and I was invited to an early interview at my alma mater, so I thought I've got it all set. But turns out things didn't work out that way, and there actually WAS a reason for it, so it might not hurt to give it a try. After all, you have to do this crap all over again in 4 years.
 
sorry to hear that metallica, but isnt UVa like a state school that likes to pull more Virginians
