second smiley has sexual undertones

ooooh well i guess it's unfortunate that i use it so often.

Just won a $500 award from the LSU Honors College 🙂 , and I got into Baylor. 🙁 I want to tell them to take it back and give it to met.

congrats!!

awwww, you should totally tell baylor to give it to met. although i hear that's an affordable school... are you not at all interested? Spurs will be sad.

👍 congrats on both!

any chance you'll end up there? it is relatively cheap...
 
have people started checking out the newspapers of their respective med school cities (i guess it doesnt matter for those staying in the same city)? i've been reading the miami herald, and it ****ing sucks

I'm not a big fan of our local newspaper, it's kind of small-townish. I've never been big on newspapers though, all my news comes from yahoo + my brokerage.

He will be.

You should call them up and be like "So, I really think you'd be much happier with metallica"


.. I wonder what they'd say.
 
I dont know. A formal LOR would be kinda cool. whats to lose.

people.. read... newspapers?! 😕

Sorry I'm from a house that never read newspapers, I just get all my news from google :laugh: It's sad these days that you can't figure out how "smart" / knowledgeable someone is by asking them "what's the last book / paper that you read?" since most read stuff online these days [like me!]
 
I'm watching Poison videos.

I think I am the only person my age that cares this much about bret michaels possibly dying.
 
I totally care about Brett. I've always been a fan....though I did lose a little respect during that whole rock of love thing. I just thought he would have higher standards.
 
<3 Bret.

Was so cool to see him front row.

So sad I won't get to see him on the 14th like I was supposed to 🙁

I just hope he makes it.
 
BU thinks my expected family contribution is $17,548! 🤣 😆 🤣 😆


... withdrawing.
 
Done with finals :banana:

Woohoo!! Whatcha gonna do now that you're done?

My flight to Reykjavik was cancelled. Just chilling in the pre-security area of terminal 7 in jfk in NYC. If anybody wants to visit I'll be here for quite a while. 🙁

Be safe travelling! And have a fun trip!

That.

Suuuuuucked.

here's hoping the professor doesn't actually hold us to that attendance policy because if so I definitely failed that class. We have the "if you get an A on every test you auto-A" clause, but I definitely did not just get an A.

:luck: I hope it works out! I've only had maybe one professor ever who was a stickler to that rule (other than attendance policies for labs).

stoney i hope you get into UM!!!!

Thanks brooklyn! However, I'm not sure what my chances there are anymore after getting on the regular waitlist.

Stoney, I'm still rooting for you :luck: :luck: :luck:

🙂 Thank you!

I hope he pulls through too. From what I read on Perez, he's getting better though.

Yea; the FAFSA (which considers us as independents) thinks my EFC is $19K. Yes I've been working, but there's no way in hell that I can (by myself) contribute >> $10K to my first year of med school. Where do they get these mathematicians? I'm worried about how much (federal) loans will be available to me with this ridiculous EFC... but we'll see.

Isn't BU known to be pretty expensive/stringent fin aid (like Tufts) anyway?
 
That's Alot of money.

indeed :laugh:

yeah, they are. but seriously... i've been working for 2 years, but on a social justice fellowship/year of service. so i've only been getting a stipend for most of that time. and my parents (as i'm sure many of y'all on this thread have gathered) don't make much. even at schools that gave me loan-heavy packages, my family's EFC has been closer to $3k-5k. so clearly BU has its head up its butt.
 
my family all said our savings were 0$

stoney, did miami say why they changed the WL? did they overaccept?
 
btw, some one tell metallica to go ahead and make the trade

i offered him Mark Teixeira, Ian Stewart, CC Sabathia for Justin Morneau and Chase Utley
 
So, am I the only one of the thread regulars that likes 80's music? Because I might just start posting random stuff to get you all to like it. :meanie:
 
Woohoo!! Whatcha gonna do now that you're done?

Buffalo tomorrow to present my research at an ASM conference...then down to Philly for Jeff's second look thursday and friday. Then senior week festivities all next week 😎 .. Hoping my sister's baby waits 'til after I graduate May 8th!
 
Hey Metallica -

It's like a magical fairy just imparted me with baseball knowledge...

I'm getting a vision...

It's saying that Mark Teixeira, Ian Stewart, CC Sabathia for Justin Morneau and Chase Utley is an amazing amazing deal and you should take it.

Nope. It was the weirdest thing. I got my original waitlist letter at the end of March, which placed me on the "temporary waitlist." Then, last week, I got another waitlist letter, which just put me on the regular waitlist. No clue why.

Stupid Jefferson.
 
Oh and by the way stoney.... I'm pretty sure the list you are on @ miami is as close to a guaranteed acceptance you can get without actually being accepted, if I remember correctly from the school thread. I think you'll be fine 🙂

Off to my sis' for dinnnnner.

Wow, so you're still going to be pretty busy for the next couple weeks!
 
lol, I don't really consider Metallica 80's stuff, but fair point.

I'm so into hair bands. Glam metal all the way. I love me a man in eyeliner.

Metallica defines 80s metal (outside of glam). Sure they got mainstream in the early 90s, but they put out their first album in 83, followed by more in 84, 85, and 88. Those were their best ones.

Hair metal is pretty cool, provided they have musical talent and don't just sing about chicks. I hate songs about chicks!

Hey guys; I just woke up again.

Huge game 7 for the wings tonight on the road.

Poison, Def Leppard, Skid Row, Motley Crue, Duran Duran, Bon Jovi, Queensryche... All amazing.

Kill 'Em All certainly did rock. You must not care for REO Speedwagon, eh?

No, I didn't ask... I didn't ask because they don't outright tell you that you're on the "temporary waitlist." It's just a matter of whether or not a particular phrase is on the letter (which was discovered through deduction on the school specific thread). So... I just felt like it would make for an awkward conversation to ask which one was correct since they don't tell actually you explicitly which list you're on.
