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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Congrats on invites everybody!!!

SDN just started working for me recently, but my Gmail is still stupid - it's been this way for almost a month now.

About to take a test. Can't keep my mind of Friday and Vandy.

You mean you aren't super excited/nervous about your interview tomorrow???? 🙄
 
yea i was looking at last year's thread and i can tell that there will be a lot of "omg why haven't i found out yet its been 2 days since the guy that interveiwed 3 weeks ago from me received his acceptance"

I feel very little pressure about tomorrow, so that should help.

And Mary, I thought you were applying to 4 IS, so that's why I said 3. :laugh:

Totally beasted that test. They should not have let me take that class. It's ridiculous. :laugh:
 
but yea before i go off to dukey i have to make my weekly predictions

i stopped making predictions after i got the OSU invite 2 weeks ago. and those 2 weeks i heard nothing

last week i predicted like 3 rejections, and got 4 invites
so this week i predict another 3 rejections

so far, the weeks that i have predicted (i predicted 9 rejections 0 invites 2 holds), i received 13 invites 0 rejections and 1 gw hold

the weeks that i didn't predict i got 2 rejections (bu/mayo)

🙂

What's your scheduling strategy at this point?
 
i actually have around one every tuesday (the day that i have the least amount of obligations) since like late august to early december. with a gap in one week of middle october.
 
from now on, i might start (e)mailing schools w/ updates that really asks them to consider scheduling interviews around my schedule if they do have any interest in me, esp the midwestern schools

Wow. That's a lot of flying.

Here's what I did:
-2 last week
-1 next week
-1 the week after
-2 the week after that

None scheduled after that until January, a few unscheduled that I'm hoping to make in January.

I'm hoping that 1 of my 2 last week will turn into an acceptance and I can drop pretty much all of them (except probably CCLCM in Jan). We'll see what happens, I don't know if this is the best way to do it but it's really the only thing I can do with school/money.

I'm probably dropping the last 2 if I can pull an acceptance on the 15th/16th from my first 5 interviews. Maybe my November can actually be free.
 
Hey guys and gals. Just got done with UR today. Really enjoyed it!

Great school.

Oh, and Laryngo, a guy who rarely posts, but has when prompted, just got into Kansas U.! Congrats man! (buddy from my music school days.)

Now about that Wake Forest early notification...

I would LOVE some good news later this week!

:luck: all!

PS- CONGRATS MARY!!!

Woot!
 
My interview schedule looks something like this...

this week - 3
next week - 1
the next week - 1
then 2 more in November

If I get an acceptance in October, I'm most likely withdrawing from Emory, maybe LSU-S too. I'm so ready to not be worried about flights and everything anymore.

I'm just tired of missing so much work! (never thought I would say that 🙂)
 
I'm tired of missing sleep on those nights I have to drive back to Baton Rouge from NOLA after flying for 6-7hrs and then have to wake up in another 5 hrs.

ew. gross.

i'm so glad I waited until after graduation. I just talked to my new employer about the dates I'll be missing for interviews and conferences, and she asked if I could come up to the lab to talk about them. Turned out she wasn't worried about me missing lab time, just making sure that I had enough vacation time accrued - and to tell me off the books that if I didn't, I could back-use vacation time from later on. :laugh: thank goodness.
 
wow, you guys are already gearing up to be finished with interviews.

i've had 2, but it feels like i'm just now starting:
- 2 next week
- 1 the week after
- 2 the week after that
- 2 the week after that

Zerial, how'd you like Vandy compared to Baylor? Interested to hear your opinions.
 
ive had 1 in the begin of sept, 1 at the end... will have 1 at the begin of oct, 1 at the end and 1 at the begin of nov... i see a pattern forming
 
yeah, many of you have already gone to bunches of interviews. my first interview is next week! :scared:

Also, I can't decide what I should wear. It's wisconsin, and they said to wear nice, comfortable clothes. What does that mean??

thanks metallica. i'll choose the one on the right - unless i have to wear all three (change between interviews??).

seriously, though. black pants and the shirt that normally goes under my suit?

ps. got a new suit this week. on sale for 69.99. beaUtiful.
 
i feel like i am in the twilight zone, how is it possible this thread hasnt got any posts in like, 4 hours? its amazing.

anyway i joined your FB group now that i'm part of the cool kids club (you with interviews haha)
 
Congrats MaryLennox!

Sorry I didn't see your announcement earlier. Full day of classes + research.

That is so awesome though ! I'm sure you can rest a bit easier now
 
Got an invite from WashU earlier today. 😀

I just want one acceptance so I can relax... come on Oct. 15th!
 
Being stuck in Charlotte sucks, I should be home now. I missed my transfer flight by 5 mins because my first plane left 40 mins late. 🙁

I'm getting tired of flying.

Congrats Mary! And any/all other interview invites/acceptances.

At least Charlotte's airport is nice and has good food. But that does suck.

Ksmi, you ready for tomorrow?!
 
i got a BU invite! yay! and i scheduled it for december 2, because they don't accept anyone until january... so why rush. i'm tired anyway. my schedule has been one interview/week starting 9/10 and continuing until 10/15, except for the week of 10/12 where i have 2 interviews. tiiiired. but so excited!

Cool! Call me crazy, but I thought I remember you getting rejected a while back and wondering why because you knew a member of the Adcom or something like that. 😕 Maybe I'm getting people or schools confused.

I'm bored. I should probably get to sleep soon but I feel like I should be doing more when I don't have class tomorrow (kind of). Strangest interview experience ever - staying at home. :laugh:

you're not crazy-- the rejection was an accident. i didn't want to broadcast that, though... 😳
 
interview in the morning...surprisingly not nervous at all

I remembered this too. dw, we're stalking you. :meanie:

Well, that's what happens when dealing with premeds that probably have fairly decent memories. One would hope.

haha, excellent. i've always wanted a stalker. erm...

yeah, i got unrejected after initally getting rejected. basically he put in a request to interview me and somehow i got a rejection email instead or something. anyway, they put me back in the pile and now i have an invite!
 
I know people there. I just didn't really feel like setting up another hosting thing. Too much to worry about.

That actually reminds me, I know people but I didn't even think about setting something up. I just always assumed I would stay at home, even if I could have had more fun or whatever with someone else. That's weird how I didn't even consider it an option.

I'm doing a ton of this too, even for non-rolling schools.
