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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm hoping they start to trickle in by Monday... Considering I'm only applying to five schools, I can hopefully have them all back by next Friday... I thought the process would be automated.

Some schools are slower than others, unfortunately.

Well, only one class tomorrow and I can sleep late! 😀 I also have a mock interview tomorrow, hopefully that can give me some insights on what I have 2 days to fix. :laugh:

Yeah, you bastards make me feel late though... Ha ha.

Good luck at your mock. You should post your feedback.


Well that's interesting. My class is Spanish, yours probably isn't as lame.

BTW, good luck at your interview, brooklyn.

When is Brooklyn's interview (too lazy to look)


Good luck, Brooklyn! (whenever it is!) Take solace in the fact that it's only 1 of 7, so you can go in confidently knowing that you're in demand! 😉
 
Ah! Mock interview today. I haven't even really prepared. 🙁
 
Good luck on all the mock interviews! Another day of writing my thesis today. I need to start preparing for interviews though, I can't slack on this.

G'morning everyone!

Mary Lennox's avatar makes me want to watch 30 Rock. New season soon!
 
Morning everyone! im visiting a friend in Norfolk and his friend is a 4th year at evms and was nice enough to show me around last night. It was really cool to actually see a med school haha. for everyone just saying that evms is a safety school, it seemed quite nice to me! although I guess i haven't seen any others yet though so i have nothing to compare it to😛 good news is-he and this other 4th year we ran in to both said that the journey is worth it and they're really happy they did it...in 5 years that'll be us!!


as far as interview news, got invites from vermont and penn state!!🙂

Congrats!
 
haha i have a mock interview today too

i would kill for a UVM interview
 
Don't withdraw from UVM though! I like you, you're my fellow artsy non-carnivore friend. And I think UVM is the only school we both applied to :laugh:

at this rate, it won't matter. i'm still not complete there 😡

man, i just got slammed in another thread. ouch!

aw. which one? i miss all the juicy SDN stuff outside of work hours (i.e. when i'm not sitting at a computer)

Mary Lennox's avatar makes me want to watch 30 Rock. New season soon!

not so soon 🙁 october 15
 
But maybe we'll be able to celebrate 30 rock and another event (which I will not name to keep from jinxing myself) on that day.

ha. your chances of celebration on that date are exponentially higher than mine. but yes, perhaps!

looks like Oct. 15 has the potential to be a banner day!

live every week like it's med school notification week. shark week is timid in comparison :laugh:

did you decide on pitt?

Wow. My worst right now is Sept 22, Sept 29, and Oct 1. Kinda hoping to get one for Oct 2 too, since I don't have class that day.
 
I would like one more to place it somewhere around later September. But none is coming so far.
 
i'm feeling so lame with my 2 interviews.

i'd be willing to bed good money that more are coming your way. you have amazing stats and it seems like you have a really cool background too. in a few months i bet you'll have tons of choices🙂

i'm still at 0. but i'm blaming the combination of mstp and my dreadfully slow premed committee.

oh my goodness!!!!! and !!! some more! talk about a busy week. make sure you have plenty of nice clothes to wear, as you won't want to be doing laundry every night! by the end of that week you should be so on top of your answers that you just walk around as if you're in an interview. hehe.

i'm afraid if i get even two interviews in the same week i'll have the same schedule, since most of my schools have 2 or even 3 day interview visits. eep

i know! I'm not sure if it's acceptable to wear a suit 4 times without washing it but I really don't want to buy another one haha. I'm going with my mom next week to get plenty of pantyhose and shirts to go under the suit though so hopefully that'll be good enough.

mstp is fo sho slower. they'll come knocking soon enough!

They just don't know how awesome you are.

so true.


and jackson... i routinely wear ALL of my clothes many times before washing them :laugh:

I don't want to have to get two either. ugh. Might I suggest express dry clean service after the second one? wait that's a friday night, joke. Anyway, keep that option in mind. Or be super careful and always take off the jacket while eating. Or keep spot cleaners at hand. Why am I so neurotic right now? I don't even own a spot cleaner :laugh:

I know for men's suits we aren't supposed to dry clean them very often, because it starts to break down the fabric and make the suit look worn. I think my last suit guy told me to try to go 5 wears. So, if women's suits are anything like men's then 4 shouldn't be a problem.

👍

I have 5 suits -- I've got a good pattern going, where I wear each one 3-5x and then dry clean them -- after more than a year of that, theyre starting to look ratty.

A way to get them to last longer between dry cleans is to bring a linen-ish dishrag with you on the interview trail. You can actually iron suits if you put a layer inbetween the suit and the iron. So, while it might not be "clean", it'll still look crisp.

had to buy suit #6 last week because my suits look like ish 🙁. btw--banana republic has drastically changed their suit jacket design this year when compared to past seasons...can't say I'm a fan
 
Just did work in my interview.. it was easier than i thought
 
Mine's pretty soon. Good luck to us.

Is it wrong that I really don't give a crap about this mock interview and am mainly using the resource because it exists? I just want to totally wing it for this and see what they say, then think about it for a day or two when the real thing comes. Is that a bad strategy?

I'm gonna prepare for it a bit, I guess it all depends on how comfortable someone is with interviews. Me, I don't really know, haven't really had a major interview like this

I know where are with that. The biggest interview I've ever had was for some crappy job that tries to make a formality out of interviewing you, when they know you're already hired.
I would like to think I interview well, though. If you can answer questions firmly, not get nervous and stutter, and be your conversational self I think you'll be fine. That's my feelings, anyway - but what do I know since I haven't interviewed anywhere yet? :laugh:
