We shall see on March 3rd, I suppose. It wasn't too horribly bad, but definitely not what I was expecting. I don't want to think anything about it. If I think I did poorly then I'm upset until I get my scores, but if I think I did well, then I'm upset when I don't so so hot. So right now, I'm just focusing on being done 😀

Isn't that the truth...

It's a daily struggle to see if I can shove any more shadowing/volunteering hours in before May without going completely insane. 🙄

I wish I would ahve saw this thread earlier. Yet another 2014er. Is anyone else graduating this year and going to not be in school during the app process?

Anyways, I'm happy to see this thread full of people all in the same boat.

Im a postbac..finishing up my last semester now so i wont be in school during the process either. Im sure that makes interviewing a lot easier! (assuming i get any lol)
 
so 2014'ers... when is everyone taking the MCAT? If you have taken it, do you know where you want to apply yet? If you haven't, do you?

... my class is sooooo boring right now
 
I am taking my MCAT in April.

I know my top choices are in no particular order

Vanderbilt
U of Iowa
Mayo
U of Kansas

I will also apply to about 20 more schools just to be sure. Honestly as long as I get 1 acceptance I will be happy.
 
I plan to take the MCAT in late May. So I really need to start studying

Top choice is Baylor, but I'll be happy to go anywhere

if you get a good mcat score 20 should be more than enough, otherwise it might be safer to apply to however many you originally decided
 
I would still make a list of 30 just incase... that way you dont have to scramble if worse comes to worse. 20 + 10 would be my strategy.

Also, I wrote my personal statement last year when I was going to apply but decided to hold off... I just looked at it again and think its pretty good. Maybe ill just use it and hope for the best.

I think the worst part of waiting for scores (for me, at least) is wishing that I could really decide on schools. But I know I can't decide anything like that until after March 3rd.

Is 20 a good number? I was thinking about applying to 15-ish. Should I add a few more?
 
lol your mdapps indicates that youd be doing great with just 10... youll get into your state schools and your mid tier schools easy..

I'd focus on what schools are your top choices 😉

oh but you climbed out your window frosh year? thats it, just apply to like 40, you never know jk.

It's such a lame thing, too. I didn't get in trouble for doing anything cool. I was just on a roof that used to be a tanning area. It even had a door that led onto the roof! Leave it to me to get in trouble for doing something completely safe and not rebellious at all.
 
yeah most kids are stop dropping and rolling
and you were already on the roof ready to escape

ps i think SDN friendship requests are way cooler than facebook
i quit facebook this week and dedicated myself to sdn

I'm always one step ahead of the game.

I gave up facebook a week and a half before my MCAT. It was torturous. The first thing I did when I got home was reactivate it. On the other hand, I tried to give up SDN, but I couldn't do it. I justified it in my mind because its pre-med things, so it was kinda like studying. 😀
 
facebook is old news, i dont want to see pictures of people having more fun than i am (mcat life isnt really worth pictures) and also, i have everyone i stay in touch with via email or gchat, you know?

I just dont see the merit in having another social network. Also I dont want my profile to cause any issues with my future application cycle, you never know.

Facebook is my mode of communication, at least socially. Otherwise, I live through emails. I don't really gchat. I think its noises bother me (but facebook chat isn't much better). Yeah, I'm not so sure what I'm gonna do about fb during app season. I think I'll just make my profile more private and make sure I have a respectable profile picture. I doubt adcoms have the time to go through all the effort to get through extra privacy things. If I just make it so that only my friends can actually see my profile, I should be good, huh?
 
haha you can turn noises off. speaking of which, i have got such a crushing addiction to the song Signs by Bloc Party that it is now in my top 3 songs on last.fm which is quite an accomplishment b/c most of those songs have been there for over a year.

oh and i picked that album up last week, to give you an idea of how hardcore i love this. (the album is called intimacy, check out the coverart too, its amazing)

and i am certain no adcom even gives a crap about facebook profiles or any of that, its mostly paranoia.

I know you can turn them off, but then I don't know when people message me. 🙁

The coverart is definitely different; very striking, I'd say.
 
wow its 2 am on a saturday night, i expected way more activity from 2014. looks like we are the party :highfive:
 
wow everyones up late tonight😀 So i went to the medical school fair at my school the other day. I really want to stay on long island or the city area but fell in love with jefferson. The representative was super super nice and I love what she had to stay about the school.
