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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
lol cant believe i got top accidentally..yay =)

I was going by the MSAR book, by the range of their mcat scores and how many OOS applicants they interviewed...

with a 26P and 3.5 I barely have much of a shot but I just want to make sure that I am not missing out on any schools that I may have a small chance at..

which ones would you advise against?

i will add drexel..temple and jefferson to my list and maybe cut out some midwest ones..

I think it becomes very difficult with a 26 for a lot of those schools. You might want to reconsider your list, and possibly add a DO or two over the Caribbean school. If you look at match percentage DO's are only about 2% lower than MD and for the competitive specialties, but once you go to the Caribbean your chances of a US residency drop to or below 50%.

Just a suggestion. I think I'm going to throw a DO app out this year as well.

Just got back from the Magic game... it was sick! Courtney Lee dunking on fools

Nice, man!! That had to be awesome!

I'm so sad Lakers lost.🙁


:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
 
Well, I guess no life-enlightening conversations tonight. Of course this happens when I can actually stay up. I'm going to sleep though, since I am going on fumes right now.


Goodnight, man. I'm holding you to that beer list, btw!

have I missed any low to mid tier school in the east coast? I know there are some reaches in here but I just want to give myself a chance!! planning to submit tomorrow and im so nervous!! any advice? i was going to apply to about 30..​

Hey Simran,
I would probably get rid of Alabama and Arkansas since I don't think they accept many out of staters. I'd also add albany med, SUNY buffalo, and SUNY upstate. I would definitely add a couple DO too, especially VCOM since youre a VA resident and it's a great school. Good luck!

I wouldn't apply to schools like San Juan if you aren't fluent in Spanish... I don't know if you are or not, just saying.

yes do not apply PR schools unless you are fleunt in both reading and writing in spanish. That is a pre req for all those schools. Classes will be in spanish also. Dont waste time applying there. They have really low gpa and mcat values for that reason, but it doesnt mean that you are competitive there with a 26 if you cant speak spanish well.

Rain!!!!! Make it stop!!!

Dear Rain,

Tiedyed does not particularly care for you right now. It would be quite awesome and amazing if you could not terrorize Columbus, as Tiedyed wants to go outside and frolick in celebration of being done with school. I'm sure there is somewhere else where you would be welcome. We haven't had rain here in awhile, so it's getting kinda hot. You are more than welcome here.

Best,

ksmi

It must be at least 15 or 20 pages back by now, because ksmi keeps filling this place up with :spam:
 
I can't get myself motivated to seriously start working on secondaries. I'm attempting to do Tulane's right now. I even put on my Tulane sweatshirt in hopes that it has some sort of magical powers or something. 😳

I was the same way but once i started they really just start flowing. Most of the questions are repeats between the schools and once you write like 10 prompts, you have probably written enough for 30 secondaries as you can just apply the same **** you wrote on one to the other 🙂

Ha ha. So true. When the docs told me I had ADHD I just told him all he had to do to keep my attention was to show me a nice pair, problem solved. :shrug:

That's true. I just really don't like the "Why do you want to go to X school?" question because that requires some research and a lot of :bullcrap:

Sweet!!! Congratulations!!!! Now I need to start to be really nice to you, Chinook... 😛
 
Damnn. Props to you for making it through all that. I can barely make it through my 500 daily crunches. 🙁


Ha ha. I haven't made it through it yet! It's tonight.

500 daily crunches? 😱 I'm going to need a pic to verify. 😀


Ok, I just counted. Last night I did 350, including decline crunches, flat crunches, and leg lifts and I couldn't feel my stomach for about an hour... 500 would probably kill me.
