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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
do you guys have friends with short term memory that ask you the same questions over and over


Yes. I find it very annoying. One in particular does it because he's passive-aggressively fishing for complements/positive feedback, which makes it that much more annoying.
 
Holy ish....so I went on the UMich website to tool around and came across the secondary application portal. Tried to login and OMG it worked....

Called the Admissions Office...supposedly they sent me an email about the secondary on JULY 3RD!!! :scared:😱:scared:

Worst fears...realized.

😱


Do they screen? If so, congrats! Better late than never.
 
You can view it however you want.
Apparate would be the Harry Potter route.
Teleporting would be the sci-fi route.
Nomenclature is a mere formality.
Plus it wouldn't matter, you could f**king teleport. :laugh:

LOL 👍

Just finished watching the most recent episode of True Blood. What day does it normally come on TV? I'll need to keep up with this show during the school year. It's good.

I need to start getting some interviews out of state. Everything I have so far is within a 3 hr drive. Although, I'm not looking forward to flying to interviews.

Well, your 3 hour drive is better than some peolpe's...

I would like to hear from UVA sometime this year one way or another. 👍

alright just to let you know that the tuition and application fee to my med school will go towards a non-profit ponzi scheme
 
I just came back from a short trip to the beach so I've been trying to catch up on what I missed lol (SAD)

Anyways thought I'd update you guys...

DUKE INTERVIEW!!! :soexcited:

That secondary was terrible. I just sat writing for a few days straight and by the time I finished I wasn't even sure what I had written lol. I wanted to finish so I could leave it behind when I went to the beach and what should be waiting when I came back but an interview! Yay! Quick turn around ~ 48hrs

just so long as it's non-profit. We shouldn't get a rep for being greedy.

EDIT: CONGRATS Amadelphous on Duke!!! That's awesome! 🙂

Ok, here's a complicated question for anyone who is bored and brave enough to muddle through my thinking today:

I can imagine what profs and PIs write in letters, but I have no idea how they go about filling ratings forms. I know for mayo, there are columns and for each category they rate you as bad, ok, good, great-top 5%, outstanding-top 2% (or something like that, but with percentages). It would seem that to put top 2%, they would have to have known at least 49 other students to the same degree. My main PI was young, and I was only his fourth thesis student, and it would seem like he couldn't put percentages on that. Or do you think if the PI/prof likes you, they just put that you're wonderful :laugh:. Ack, I'm overthinking this now.
 
Thanks!
