Check your spam! It was in mine in gmail.

Thanks! Looks like I got it too.. Just updated my AMCAS gmail filter to:

AMCAS, AAMC, Medical, status, update, acceptance, rejection, secondary, login -penis

(that is, push anything with all of those words to my inbox, unless it has the word penis in it, because Medical could trip penis enlargement advertisements lol)

I have the same, with "interview" added. I've left off "waitlist" "hold" and "alternate list" out of sheer optimism. 😀
 
Mich seems pretty cool but I don't have a sem of biochem. The cool thing is that they do accept online biochem so I could take it online if I need to.

Yeah, I mean, if it ends up being the school for you, an online class shouldn't be too much work.
 
Agreed. It's entirely possible that if they like me enough, that maybe I could get an exemption (although I'm not opposed to doing said extra BCH class).

I'm pretty sure everyone will like you enough for that. 🙂
 
I am finally watching Thursday's SYTYCD.....holy crap Brian Gaynor's crew was AWESOME. How their bodies don't fall over when they do that is beyond me.
 
Lulz.

yayyy for Friday Nights writing secondary essays. I told my friends I'm going into hibernation.
 
I just got an e-mail from Mayo asking for $100 so I paid it. I would love to go there.
 
everyone must be filling out secondaries or out at the club b/c it is dead tonight!
 
Geekchick, when I saw that pic that is the first time in my life I enjoyed Barney :laugh:
 
👍

Ever seen "Madd Chadd" of LXD?

Similar mechanical body movements. It's UNREAL.
SO awesome!!!!! I wish my body would do what I told it to do in my head ::sigh::. Though I also wish that about my singing voice🙂 I did swear that if I get into medical school I would join an acapella group though. I think that is why I want to go to Yale so badly......😉




Hey, how are all of you non-trads answering questions about "extracurricular activities you participated in during college"?
I had none...I worked 35 hours a week🙁 I sort of had some in grad school but that's about it.

i would list the ones in grad school or explain the situation. Usually theres space to explain such discrepancies, thats what i did when i filled stuff out. Normally though, i remember most secondaries not asking what i did during college EC wise, as much as just what Ecs i did, what were the most important/influential/etc. So you shouldnt have to worry about that too much unless im remembering wrong.

Thank you so much🙂

Columbia's sounded more specific, it said: In what collegiate extracurricular activities did you engage?* So I feel like a loser for not engaging in any. Oh well.
 
I'm pretty sure everyone will like you enough for that. 🙂
I sure hope so! 😀

Dance is practice and repetition, so practice more! =)

A capella is so cool. I wish I had a good singing voice =\. I guess it skips a generation.. both of my parents are excellent vocalists.

True, but you need to love the practice to practice that much...and I don't🙂 Also, while there is a certain point that anyone can get to with practice, after that there is such thing as anatomy and genetics. I already know my limitations so I will stick to watching which I enjoy SO much more🙂

As far as singing goes...I DON'T have a good voice...but I love it so much, I do it anyway🙂 What I lack in talent I make up for in enthusiasm🙂 And unlike dance I would be happy practicing all day and all night long even if I suck🙂

Edit: I am very smiley-facey today 🙂

T.dot ohhhh? Hahah, that is hilarious. I never thought of Toronto as being thuggy🙂

Do you watch Being Erica!?? I heart Canadia. And Canadians. And Canadian television.
 
Is it bad that this is the first question yet in this process that has terrified me?
Fun fact - We would like to know one fun fact about you. This may be shared with other applicants. Please answer the following question with up to four words:

could be😛. Actually out of all 8 or so interviews i went on, this was the 1st question they made everyone do as the group gathered before each interview, better get used to it! Most of the time it was fine but sometimes it was realllly awkward.

... do open leg rocker. 😉
 
2 secondaries done already... I feel lame that getting my photo ready for the secondary took me half the day 👎.

Hahahah! Well what sucks is that this question was asked at the game show too, and I was like, crap, I am the most uninteresting person ever!!!


I think this is one of those questions I need to ask my best friend and hope he has a brillant answer.

I remember that in my grad school class, a girl said "My third toe is my longest toe"

I never looked at her the same after that.
 
should have gone to costco free samples + cheap photos!

Oh Costco!! I don't know why I didn't think of that.

I went to walmart and they screwed it up the first time w/ bad lighting.

I got stuck resizing so SLU would accept the pic. I was trying to use the max size of 250x400 which is useless for a square passport photo. I finally realized 250x250 worked perfectly.

Edit: I wore a tie too, which I haven't done in forever haha

I know.



Believe me....I know😉

Crap! I cannot answer this question! And apparently neither can my best friend...

If I read you were a Yogi I would be interested 🙂

is that really a 2ndary question? Anyways just say something about your yoga like rhino said. Thats good enough. When asked these at interviews, 75% of the answers i heard from others were like "I like soccer" "I like USC/college football" "I like food (no joke)". When compared to those things, saying "Im a yoga insturctor" becomes wildly interesting 😛. You dont have to say something crazy like "most people dont know....i will cure cancer😉"
 
Or say that you tried out for several game shows 👍 That is interesting too and reveals a fun side to you 🙂

I put "dance with fire!"

I'm working on what/which passion I want to write about. I don't want to beat the same horse over and over during this process...

Question 1: What are you passionate about

stuff

Question 2: what makes you different

ummm... Probably the stuff I'm passionate about, which I just wrote about.
 
this is why being able to make up believable **** is so valuable in this process:laugh:. rhino seems like hed be good at it. Most people who are accepted likely are 😛

:laugh: trust me I am excellent at BSing... but I resist the urge everyday. I usually take the attitiude of if the truth isn't good enough then it isn't worth it.

Edit: I'm also aware of what makes me unique and interesting.

I think all of us would like to be on a game show... do yoga well... or at least date a cute girl that does yoga well 😛 ----> therefore interesting stuff to talk about briefly 🙂
 
Fun fact -

take things seriously

CUZ I CAN! I WILL NOT SLEEP UNTIL EVERY SECONDARY IS SUBMITTED ERRR GAAARRRRRRR BE AFRAIDDD 😡
