Class of 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Thanks everyone for the consolation! Yeah, I'm bummed about the two rejections..but it turns one an interview invite to University of Illinois made it all better! I just emailed my profs to find out which date is ideal...Hopefully some of you applied there too! 🙂

That is the best show of all time!! I watched all of it on DVD, except for the last two season which I watched on HBO as they came out.

The characters in that show are awesome, they always have the best dialogue too. I liked how they shift between several groups throughout the course of the show. Favorite character: McNulty (although I really like Omar too). Best scene: When Omar testifies against Bird in court (or the last scene with the co-op--which I won't ruin for you).

That show kicks ass!

Edit: the one thing I think they should have made happen was Avon Barksdale taking out Marlo. That would have wrapped things up nicely.

You have to love McNulty obviously, but in the last season he gets a little ridiculous and I've started to like him less. I hope that's resolved before the end of the series. Omar is a boss. I kind of like Bodie for some reason too. I'm really sad I'm in the last season, but I love how it's bringing all the issues of Baltimore together and showing how they are all intertwined.

I'm also about to finish The Tudors. Henry Cavill unfortunately has apparently lost the ability to use any sort of grooming or trimming implements on his head, maybe so he looks older and more haggard, but it doesn't work so well. I was also totally thrown off when Julia from Nip/Tuck became Henry's wife.

Blasphemy!

Okay, really, I do agree. I don't love this. I'm also not the biggest fan of the super short hair in season 1. But there is season 2 and 3...

oh come on, i didnt mean anything malicious by that comment. i'm not aware or caught up if you are having issues in that department. i was just kidding. please accept my apology, as i am very sorry for touching a nerve.

You did strike a nerve. I'll forgive you because I'm touchy about it and you don't know where I'm coming from here.

Bunghole. 😛

I'm not "having trouble". It hasn't been long enough to say I'm having secondary IF issues. We just got pregnant with her literally within 2 weeks of throwing out the birth control and have been trying for this one for the last 3 months with no success. This is the fourth and last month we can try until I don't know when, because this would be the latest due date I could have and still have a kid old enough to send to daycare when school starts in August.
 
Wow, I'd be all over this thread if we keep posting pictures of Henry Cavill. I watched the Tudors in the beginning for Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who is totally hot, but Henry definitely makes it even better.
 
On another note, I finally got a haircut. How the lady can misunderstand "Please only trim off 1/2 inch" to take off a good 2 inches in beyond me. All that time growing...so frustrated

Dude, JRM looks like a polished turd next to Henry Cavill. He is seriously #1 on my laminated card. *nod*

Did you go to an asian or other non-english speaking type of haircut place? My place is Vietnamese, but I can converse with them fluently so things rarely go wrong. I also trust my guy to do whatever he wants with me, because I have no sense of style and I'm easy.

Sorry you had such an unfortunate experience! 🙁
 
Finally made it home from a looong day at work. Doing ear punches and tail snips on a mutant breed of mice known to be unusually aggressive is no fun, especially when their smelly cage is inches under your nose. And you already feel queasy from food poisoning.

This is called "paying your dues." 👍

When I started working with rats in my neuroscience lab, I told a couple docs about it and they all laughed b/c they did the same kind of work I do. I guess it is kind of a milestone in your career haha.

I think it's also called "being a lab tech" 😛 I'm okay with mice as long as I'm not doing anything to piss them off, but rats scare me. I like how you can handle mice by their tails, but rats' tails apparently pop off if you pull them too hard. 👎

The earlier products of the project I'm working on are about to be tested on dogs, and I would HATE that. I heart puppies and wouldn't want to sack them.
 
If anyone feels like they're in decent shape, do some mile repeats. Gives you a reality check reaaaally fast. I definitely have some work to do.
 
i am the lone east coaster in this thread right now 🙂

I think rats are actually better to work with than mice, b/c rats eventually get to know you and are pretty chill with you after you have handled them for awhile. However, mice never recognize you and never get used to you handling them.

it is only a matter of time. i know how you feel though. when i was waiting for my new mcat score i was so afraid i did worse or something and it was an emotional struggle daily until the score came out. you will get an interview sooner or later. hang in there!

I know our time will come... I just wish it would come soon! The suspense is killing me 🙁

Me too! It's like as soon as I get one, I know there's nothing horribly wrong with my application and I can breathe a little more easily. But probably what will happen is the floodgates will open and we'll get a couple in the same day :xf: Totally possible.
 
make sure you guys send them pictures of yourselves. i am confident it will only help your case 😉

Knock 'em dead, Cougs! Err... what's the medical equivalent of that saying, since causing death is the opposite of what we want to do?

Yay! I'll be interviewing here too. OOS cost is really unnerving though, haha. I'm interviewing after Oct 15th so I won't hear back on that day regarding an acceptance...not that I expect to do excellent on the interview or nething (I might but I might not if I have a tough interviewer) but it's nice to dream

Good luck! OOS cost there is about 35K/year, right? That's less than the private schools and other OOS-tuition fees that I would be charged at other universities. Maybe I looked at it wrong...

http://www.uic.edu/depts/oar/grad/tuition_prof/tuition_prof_fal10_spr11.html

I know MSAR has like 55K or something listed. Insane.
 
StarryNights said:
Yea, MSAR listed $79K per year for tuition + living costs :scared:.

I'd say that is REALLY excessive..considering Northwestern's COA is about 60ish-70ish...and the OOS tuition number I got was only 35K, slightly less than Feinberg's tuition.

Update: Oh holy hell...I just was retaught how to look at that rate table. That's PER semester...that is ****ing expensive...70K PER YEAR FOR TUITION!?!??!

Thats my beef with the comments in the Primary Care/Debt thread. Until you've physically walked in a primary care physicians shoes, you cant really say how difficult the money issue is.

I am extremely close with a family medicine physician. He went to a school that cost ~54K/year. His debt is actually closer to 350K. He pays ~ 1200/month on his school loan. He is very financially savvy, and frugal. And despite what people on these forums want you to believe, there isn't a whole lot of options for loan reimbursement/forgiveness. The man I mention will be making those payments until he is 70. Long after he owns his modest 250K 1400sq ft house. and his little honda car.

I should mention that he is one of the hardest working physicians I know. In fact, in the hospital I work, the FP group is always the LAST to leave each night. Its a lot worse than most think....and you shouldn't unnecessarily gloss it over.
 
Well, I feel like a d-bag for posting this after Hoody's sad PCP story, but I'm off to Hawaii til Wednesday. It'll be good for my sanity to limit the amount of time I can spend checking my email haha. Don't have too much SDN-style fun without me! 😉

Hmm, his payment plan seems to be a bit low. My calculations showed $3000 per month, or maybe $1800 per month for an extended payment plan on 250K loan. Most doctors I know, as I explained in another thread in the main forum about Med school loans...do not have this situation you're referencing..

Oooooooh, so jealous. Still never been there!!!


So pissed, my friend is getting married and doing a big 10 day Hawaii thing with a private house after......IN SEPTEMBER OF NEXT YEAR.


Yeah, lets just skip out on the first couple of weeks of med school. Awesome.


Please karma gods, do not take that to mean I don't want to go to medical school next year.
 
December 13th....hopefully i can get another one that'll fall before then though.

...at least i'm glad i get 2 points for every dollar i spend on my credit card that goes towards buying airfare
 
I will keep my fingers crossed that you get more!!


I am so blind. I am reading the boards on my iPhone while I get my hair straightened and I swear for a minute that one of the threads said something like taking large gifts from bears.

Turns out it said "boss".
