Yea, I'm def not assuming anything bc my numbers and apps are mediocre at best lol but I was just wondering since I've heard that that question of "why should we pick you" has been asked at some interviews.

I think you guys are right though: what I have to say is what I have to say and if I am blessed with an interview invite from a school who has already asked me this question, I'll just reiterate what I have said before.... I think I was just being neurotic 🙂

in other news, I'm totally complete at AMCAS: just got an email that they now have my LORs too. wooot! 😀

serious 🙁. I think its safe to say we are the only laker haters here oc..😡. The magic need to get crazy hot like they did against cleveland. Ive never seen 3 pt shooting like that ever. It seemed like they were shotting 60% +. Everytime they shot it was in. I didnt even watch last night but it must have been brutal.

Man I think i should ahve chosen my schools a little better...there are so many schools on my list I would absolutely hate to go to...i counted like 12 that even if i was accepted id turn it down for damn near any other school lol. Hell I almost would rather reapply then go to some of these schools. I guess i was just too paranoid and worried. Thankfully i didnt pay for them or id be kicking myself right now.

I agree, man. I think it's just the two of us. Unless mbdenver is around, I'm sure he would be with us as well.

If you're not interested at all you should scrap the secondaries. Focus on the ones you are interested in.

Have you guys changed your facebook security settings or disabled your account? I'm sure this has probably been addressed, but I'm too lazy to search or go through the 239487 pages of this thread. I know it's rather naive to think they would actually go and search for every applicant's profile, but some people have made me paranoid. I set mine to private because, well, I enjoy drinking, and it's obvious from a number of my pictures. Any opinions?

And apparently I'm the top of the page >.<

How do you set your profile to private? Is it that way by default? What does it do differently on private?

witness23 said:
please try to keep your facebook profile private, I know its very difficult for TAs/RAs to be not open, but people do check (mostly out of boredom). Once you graduate college, I noticed my fb usage has dropped to maybe 20 seconds a month.



I would also recommend not uploading pics to fb if possible, and, instead, to a different host.

See above. Also, why not upload pics to fb?

ABC, baby! ABC!!! Always Be Closin'!!!


Coffee is for closers!!!
 
On another note, I think I'm finally happy with my new personal statement. It only took me around 8 or 9 rewrites...

I just have to shave off around 300 characters and I'm set! 😀


Well, and hopefully have it reviewed to make sure I haven't gone insane thinking it's good when in fact it is garbage...

I privatized my FB account. There's a privacy settings tab. I set them all to 'friends only'

Still Under Review. Do you guys think I should call them and ask what's up?
Click to expand...
no, they'll figure it out. call after like a week or two if it's still under review

It helps to be aware that there's nothing to do but wait. Stressing out about it isn't going to reduce that length of time; it'll only make it that much more unbearable.👍
 
Why am I always waiting for something?😡

Ksmi, how do you know your secondary comes in Monday?

apparently columbias comes out on the 15th...i guess the schools who want your money asap will release before the 24th 🙂. Though im too lazy to go check 45 schools...
 
If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.
 
Florida is going to tebow LSU so badly this year. It won't even be funny.

hey kiss me, were you in the color band thingie when Jamarcus and Co. won the title?
Click to expand...

color band thingie... :laugh: Jamarcus wasn't still on the team when LSU won the Nat'l Championship. Matt Flynn (and sometimes Ryan Perrilloux) was quarterback at that time.

Here's me right before the game was over with the paper. (Not sure where I'm looking)

And here's JaMarcus Russell at the Nat'l Championship game. Does that count??

And one more for posterity:

stupid question but...what is color band anyways😕. Are you just the guys that come out at halftime and make the pretty formations while playing instruments? lol
 
oh was it Matt Flynn? My bad.

Ksmi, you're quite cute. Hehehe.

:laugh: I'm in the band on the colorguard. I have no idea what a color band is. I think Blue made it up. Colorguard twirls flags and dances along to the band's music in the pregame and halftime shows.

Like so... (this is actually from the Tigerband concert, but just imagine it on a football field with marching and you'll get the idea)

PS. I'm the second person in the line on the right.
 
Would you be creeped out if I made that picture my wallpaper?
 
You're very attractive, ksmi. Do you have more pictures, post them up.👍

😆. I kid, I kid.
 
If you get into Wake Forest or Emory, make sure you enroll there and I will too. Maybe we can take Anatomy or something together.😉
