lol well its not so much i hate micro as i hate anything involving lab bench work/research. Its just not my thing i hate being in the lab, i hate doing the same cultures and techniques over and over again.

Yeah, I loved micro lab, but whenever they said "do a graham stain" for the 20th time, it did get kind of annoying.
 
Geez, this guy already has 6 interviews on the school-specific fourm.

Haha yeah I felt the same way. It was my favorite lab though. I mean I really liked Chem lab (well except when we'd have to boil something for 2 hours), but I hated doing the lab reports. Micro was the best of both worlds, short and easy and still interesting.

Micro was oen of my favorite labs - I disliked Gen Chem lab, and loathed (as you know) Organic lab.
I also really liked Parasitology lab, it was like a Micro lab without doing stuff, but you (hypothetically) get really good at identifying different parasites and what they do under a microscope and by case studies/pictures.
 
Here is the secret to a quality orgo lab.

Step 1: Throw stuff in beaker w/stir rod

Step 2: Tell group at bench behind you to make sure your stuff doesn't blow up while you're at lunch

Step 3: walk to Reseraunt across the street: order lunch and some Sam Adams.

Step 4: return 1.5 hour later, and purify product.

😀

Agreed - shouldn't the stats work out to get 2 or 3 acceptances with 6 interviews, at least mathematically?
Click to expand...
something like that maybe 2/6 acceptance maybe another 1 acceptance off a waitlist or so. Regardless if you have multiple interviews at this point its probably a great sign that you will be accepted eventually.
 
watching that guy, he just got his 7th invite. Share the wealth!

I dont even want to go to NY to be honest lol....i could care less in some ways if i get in there. Id take creighton or near any other school over anything in nyc.
 
my week is going like i predicted

i expected 0 invites, 1 hold from gwu, and maybe a rejection

i got the hold from gwu so far and the 0 invite looks solid
 
well i need to talk to the penn mstp director and see the prospects of continuing my research here. so i have not applied to penn yet (i'll probably tailor it to my time here)
 
secondaries are starting to give me a headache . . . at least some will reject me pre-secondary. I think i've been rejected from WFU (i got that status that says 'you will be notified by email of your status') or something like that.

i don't know what i was thinking with some of the schools i picked. i am going to re-review the MSAR for more biochem-instead-of-orgo2-friendly schools and add them.

at least i got UIC and Tulane done. if they don't love me, who will??🙁

Wow - I'm sure there are some crazies on the School Specific Threads that would want to kill you if they heard that. :laugh:
Since you apparently want to stay in Philly, did you apply to all the Philly schools?
Click to expand...


haha, well think about it. i have like a 30% chance of getting into vandy w/ an invite and it costs $300+ for the interview. i have a 1/6 chance of getting into ucsf w/ a secondary ($60 + a possible cost of interview) = max $1000 spent on <50% chance of getting in

compared to jefferson which is a walking distance/subway ride ($2.90) and a higher chance of getting in!
 
Aw man, this sucks. We're all going to wind up going to completely different schools!
