The dean of admissions from a school that waitlisted me is coming to give a speach to premeds at my UG tomorrow. :laugh: I think I'm gonna go.

are you going to ask him any strictly hypothetical questions about any "friends" of yours?

"so let's say i have a friend who is waitlisted at your school..."

:laugh: I think he'll probably recognize me. I sat directly next to him when he briefed the interviewees. Plus I was in email contact with him for a while back in Dec/Jan.

It's weird how when your lips are chapped, all you can think about is how nice it would be if they weren't. But then when they are normal, you don't even notice.

Unless you're like me and your lips are permanently chapped. 🙁

And then you find out that permanent chapped lips is a psychological and physiological condition that can only be cured by not applying chapstick for a while so that your lips can produce more moisture.

I'm still not used to it being bright outside at nearly 7pm.

I do horribly with 1 hour time adjustments - it takes me weeks to fully acclimate. :laugh:

i hate when drivers slow down to watch accidents on the side of the road

Pretty much true... only the people who drop out from Harvard (or are rejected, as the article pointed out), make it big 😎

I'm really interested in knowing what made you pick Harvard over the other schools you were accepted! What was it about it that won you over?
 
So I think I've decided to drive to Richmond for spring break with the gf.

This could turn out to be a pretty cool road trip if I do it right. I have 2 options:
1) the Atlantic Coast, from Savannah up to Norfolk then to Richmond
2) the Appalachians, from Atlanta up through the mountains (via Blue Ridge Parkway) to Charlottesville then to Richmond

Yeah that too, especially trying to sleep at night.

I currently have a miserable sinus infx. I experienced a weird phenomenon last night - I woke up at least 10 times within an hour coughing or needing to blow my nose. But what's odd is every time I looked at the clock it was like 5 minutes from the last time, but I'd had a full and superelaborate dream in those short bursts of time. I kept feeling sure I'd been asleep for 2-3 hrs, but the clock kept saying 3 something. I know from psychology class how dreaming works, but it's never been so chronologically disorienting! >_< and I still feel weird all dayyyyyyyy

you could go one way on the way there than one way on the way back? both options have some beautiful scenery. va tech is ~ 10 minutes out of the way if you go option 2...you can stop by and visit for me🙂


we lost the game though🙁

AHHHhhhh you went there for undergrad! Gotcha! I was just thinking...in undergrad the diff between state schools and top private schools is somewhat tangible, tho education is usually what you make of it. (I chose state school scholarship over other offers for undergrad, but can tell there is still some difference in the end.) But at this high level of education, is there really much of a difference between schools in terms of greatness? Or perhaps it is just a personal preference at this point. I was just picking your brain to see what snared you for med school!
I guess I misunderstood - which one are you leaning most towards atm?

I'm afraid your understanding isn't much better this time around either :laugh: She went to Harvard for undergrad and is now going to stay at Harvard for med school.

Unfortunately, there will be no cool road trip option on the way back - just straight interstate, since I have to get back in time for school. 👎

Looking at routes, scenery and such, I think I'm choosing the Atlantic Coast - I might get to pass through the outer banks of NC.

hmm at this point, without knowing financial aid offers and without having been to any second looks, i'll likely stay at harvard. the HST program is very small, so interacting one-on-one with world-renowned faculty is a guarantee. the research emphasis will make it easier to involve myself in some projects i am interested in pursuing. also i've now got strong personal ties to boston and would love to stay where my significant other/many of my friends will be.

if HST ends up being too expensive, i am looking seriously at duke (for similar opportunities to do research) and hopkins (because it felt right on my interview day).
 
So as of now, the road trip plan goes...
- NOLA to Savannah
- Savannah to Charleston
- Charleston to Myrtle Beach
- Myrtle Beach to the ocean...
- where I take a ferry to the NC outer banks
- outer banks to Roanoke and Kitty Hawk
- then to Virginia Beach
- Virginia Beach to Richmond

I really hope I can pull all of that off in my short timeframe.

:laugh: What a decision to make... hmm, you know, today I feel like Harvard might be right for me, but some days Duke or Johns Hopkins just have that special something. 👍 Congrats to you, seriously, wherever you decide to go you'll do awesome!
