Members don't see this ad.

Pharaoh88 is absolutely killing this cycle. And I think my puffer fish is dying. 🙁

Yeah, that dude is like a magent for med school acceptances. They just go to him.

 

[Bryson17]

Bryson, are you still going for MD/PhD?

Pharaoh88 is absolutely killing this cycle.

Nope, just MD. That's the short answer. PM me if you want a long winded version.

And Pharaoh is going to be a legend of SDN.

 

[Bryson17]

nah i just meant where they are going as ofnow

If I don't hear anything else my choice will be easy. Further accepts and money offers will make things complicated.

UVa?

 

[ksmi117]

As things are right now, they are complicated. If I get an acceptance at a certain school, they will become less complicated. Then if I get money from places, they become even more complicated.

 

[Bryson17]

UVa?

Yeah.

What a great quote:

[GoSpursGo]

oi. well, I suppose its good practice. I date an attending now and even though we work at the *same* hospital its very much like having a long distance relationship. 🙁

I was just razzing you....but now I feel bad. 😳

No worries 🙂

I don't actually even know this dude...

I'm guessing wustl.

 

[BlueElmo]

Yeah.

What's dolphinese?

 

[Bryson17]

What's dolphinese?

Exactly.

 

[ksmi117]

I'm guessing wustl.

Guess again. Don't get me wrong, WUStL is awesome, and if they give me monies, I'd be hard-pressed to turn them down. They just aren't my fave so far.

 

[BBender716]

Exactly.

 

[BlueElmo]

Exactly.

It's a language that dolphins speak?

 

[Bryson17]

I don't actually even know this dude...

[dw2158]

You apparently. DW seems pretty set on MSSM and osumc on OSU. Sammich has FSU too. I don't think anyone is 100% though.

sinai 😍

anyone know for sure where they are going yet?

i'm not gonna be 100% until march when this is all over, but...

I have my "if the cycle ended today" where I'd be going decided but not knowing for sure in general.

this.

Its going to be a tough choice for DW if Columbia takes her too.

ha. tell them to interview me and then we can talk. (i secretly just want to go there so i can keep my email address from undergrad 😀)

 

[Bryson17]

It's a language that dolphins speak?

Haha, supposedly.

If you've never seen Cosmos, you should watch it. It's a series narrated by Carl Sagan, and it's amazing. It's from like 1980. It's extremely nerdy but great.

 

[BBender716]

I give him mad props for withdrawing at places now that he's gotten in at Hopkins, Mayo, UMich, etc.

I will put it in my list of things to do.

MDapps Profile: http://www.mdapplicants.com/profile.php?id=16940

Seems pretty solid.

 

[CielloStelatto]

I was just thinking how awful it would be if you passed out every time you felt happy and then I remembered...

Narcoleptic dogs.[YOUTUBE]X0h2nleWTwI[/YOUTUBE]

aren't there some fainting goats, too?

 

[Hoody]

I'm guessing wustl.

My guess was UPenn.




...or Baylor.

 

[ksmi117]

My guess was UPenn.

Oh, maybe they would win, but they don't like me enough to interview me. I was referring to the schools I have interviewed at.

I thought about that I after I posted. oops. 😳

JH FTW. 🙂

😍 JHU.

 

[BBender716]

Just called comcast because my ondemand wasn't working and actually had a pleasant experience. Gave me credit on my account and I wasn't even complaining. Must be a tough market lately.

 

[DrYoda]

My car's the only one in front of my building. Time to blast music😀.

That's amazing. When I had comcast I had to bitch them out at least every other month.

 

[Sammich117]

Right now I just have one acceptance, so that makes my choice pretty easy.

I do have 2 interviews in Jan, so we'll see if that changes anything.

 

[JJMrK]

home improvement is the ****. you graduated already right BB?

Good show.

Morning peeps.

Hey ksmister.

As things are right now, they are complicated. If I get an acceptance at a certain school, they will become less complicated. Then if I get money from places, they become even more complicated.

Johns Hoppa. I remember you talking about that the other day.

 

[flip26]

If I don't hear anything else my choice will be easy. Further accepts and money offers will make things complicated.

This is exactly how I feel (and I assume we are talking about the same school, but maybe not).

And I feel pretty good about it, but I have a couple of decisions I need to hear (as early as December, possibly in January, or in March) before I close the book on this cycle.

I have been looking at the schools I have heard nothing from, and have been intently reading the threads, and even though people swear that more invites are coming, I have a feeling that I will not be receiving any more interviews, at least not to any schools I will bother with attending...and I am completely OK with it.

 

[JJMrK]

I need an acceptance.

 

[brooklynblunder]

I need an acceptance.

youll get them

 

[BlueElmo]

I need an acceptance.

when do you hear back from OSU, man?

 

[GoSpursGo]

I need an acceptance.

 

[CielloStelatto]

I need an acceptance.

with that. Me too. Whover has extra, please send to me and jj

 

[dingyibvs]

Guess again. Don't get me wrong, WUStL is awesome, and if they give my monies, I'd be hard-pressed to turn them down. They just aren't my fave so far.

Hopkins obviously, but they don't give money so if a school like Vandy or Washu give you a lot of money it might make the choice tough! Good position to be in though 😀

I need an acceptance.

Dude, you'll have more than you can handle.

 

[brooklynblunder]

so any of u thinking about taking a research year during or after md school

 

[dingyibvs]

so any of u thinking about taking a research year during or after md school

i'm thinking of it, although i don't have much formal research exp so i'm not too sure yet

 

[GoSpursGo]

so any of u thinking about taking a research year during or after md school

We actually just had the little informal info session for people interested in the research track at Baylor this week. I'm actually getting a little excited about research again... so ironically, I might actually be joining you guys in the Class of 2014 😛

 

[brooklynblunder]

research sucks, but you somewhat enjoy the good things in it. but being in a lab 24/7 sucks. even established PIs will tell you that. but ill probably do a research year

 

[metallica81788]

so any of u thinking about taking a research year during or after md school

No way unless I have some magical epiphany during my needed research for a good residency.

Sucks how you have to basically start the whle thing over again.

 

[dw2158]

so any of u thinking about taking a research year during or after md school

yeah. i'd like to do clinical research, though... not bench stuff.

 

[flip26]

so any of u thinking about taking a research year during or after md school

Only if it matters for the area of medicine I hope to enter...I have no idea what that might be now - I am wide open - but if I decide I want to do a competitive residency, and research is important for that, I would do an extra year.

 

[osumc2014]

so any of u thinking about taking a research year during or after md school

hmm for me if I wanted to do that I should've applied CCLCM

 

[epinephrinerush]

sGPA 3.3, cGPA 3.5, MCAT 32, verified early sept. no interviews yet. still hope?

 

[brooklynblunder]

verified early september? wait like 2 months and see

 

[brooklynblunder]

the people you see getting interviews were verified june - august

 

[epinephrinerush]

the people you see getting interviews were verified june - august

Thank you so much for your response. You just slowed my aging process significantly.

Any other inputs?

 

[DrYoda]

so any of u thinking about taking a research year during or after md school

Nope, my interest in academic medicine is 0 which would make a research year kind of a waste.

 

[ksmi117]

so any of u thinking about taking a research year during or after md school

I might consider it. I think I'm gonna try to get see how I like research early on and go from there.

What he said. Besides, what good does worrying do anyway?
