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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
hey what up 2014...i took a little break from sdn but now back. hows it going over here?
 
Is the med school environment any different than the undergrad? I felt like if I wasn't a part of greek life, I didn't belong.

I can't really find their coursework online either - what classes each year, etc.

From what you know of the program, what do you think is the best/worst thing?

Sorry for the interrogatory 🙂

I have two good friends who are MS3's at UF, neither was anywhere close to being Greek, and both are fitting in just fine.

Their curriculum is pretty standard block scheduling, nothing really innovative but nothing backwards either. Their testing is very much geared toward Board preparation. You take just about all your tests at the same place on the same computers that you would take Step I at. All questions are in USMLE format as well.

Best is definitely the excellent board preparation. Worst, IMO at least, is the very competitive nature(they grade on a curve and fail more students than most med schools).

Can we boot dingy?

Not cool 😡

I'm not sure how I feel about that curve. I guess we'll see how the interview goes. Still have to wait for January. Some people on SDN have been accepted, but others have said they wait until March to accept most people, do you know anything about that?

And you know I'm just playing 😛
 
I just realized that the people that I friended/friended back will now see my ridic halloween pics.
oops
 
Yeah, he's ****ing creepy. Perhaps the creepiest part about him is that he is totally unaware of his creepiness.

I think he reads enough of these threads to realize he's creepy.

Dear MexicanDr,

You're creepy. Especially to those of us that are girls.

Sincerely,
Sammich

I realize I have a problem.

I have two tabs open for SDN. One so I can browse the other threads and one so I can keep coming back to this one when I see that there's a new post.

I have one for the Pre-Allo one and one for school-specific one.

You need to call Dr. Drew, because that's when you know you've hit SDN rock bottom.

I've been SDN multi-tab sober for a while now, rehab works. :xf:

He came to my school and gave a talk a couple months ago. Weird to see him in person. Kind of cool though.
 
What's with this 'to quell your fears' guy telling everyone med school is super easy?

you know i was a lurker on this site for a couple years and i remember a lot of his older posts...he was always kind of a cheeky/sarcastic kind of person, so i wouldnt be surprised if that whole thread is a joke or was made to get a rise

If that's how it is for him, that's how it is for him. Doesn't mean it will be that way for everyone. Also doesn't mean that it won't be like that for other people. It seems like some people who haven't had that experience are getting slightly defensive.
