Cougs, who do you need me to beat up?

Congrats court!

It was! I am over the moon. It's only Nov... and I know. I hope you hear from Jeff soon! I'm still hoping for an invite from them...

Awww, thanks, honey, but Jeff's WL doesn't start moving until January or February at the earliest. Keep your fingers crossed that I hear back from Temple before Thanksgiving, though! Or that Penn decides to send me an interview invite by then, too. 🙂
 
I love every one of the regular posters in this thread, can I just say that?

I am feeling oddly affectionate. I think someone spiked my coffee...

Thanks app-buddy. I'm hoping to learn about the SDn 2015 facebook group instead of awkwardly facebook friending everyone on here (though I am more of a stalker than a friend when it comes to fb)

We are online dating (still? right? or did you leave me for GRE girl?), so I am glad we are also friends 😀

and geekchick -- I didn't spike your coffee. I just added some alcohol 😛

That's what I mean! I'm a very affectionate drunk, but thankfully just towards the hubster.

Whenever I'm even slightly buzzed I start hanging all over my husband, then complain about how hot it is, then feel nauseated for about 15-30 minutes, then I'm all better.

You act just like my husband when he's drunk, except you forgot the girly giggling. I sometimes give him 2 beers just to hear him giggle. 😉

then yes, I did spike your coffee. I just didn't put in ecstasy 😉

on a random note -- did anyone else see the study that says alcohol is the worst drug out there? Mushrooms is the least worst (and ecstasy ain't all that bad either)
 
Yup, guilty.

And holy hell, if my linebacker-sized husband giggled like a schoolgirl with a few drinks in him, I'd do the SAME thing.

I love this thread. What a good diversion from work.

Also, who do I need to talk to about finding this ninja facebook group. My app buddy (avoidthetiger) and I feel left out! 👎

Let the stalking commence!!

Addiction is my greatest research interest. Most people don't realize that you are more likely to die during alcohol withdrawal than heroin withdrawal. Often, serious alcoholics require medication during detox.

Also, their is evidence that MDMA can cause brain damage from a single exposure. So ecstasy probably isn't that harmless.
 
"It's a guaranteed disaster. Like eating a burrito before sex. " :laugh:

I'm watching the second season of 30 Rock. 😀

LoL!

Also, I read that alcohol report. Not surprising. I actually saw a Dr. G about a guy who died from alcohol withdrawal. He was trying to get back together with his ex wife and she said from this point out no more alcohol. 48 hours later he was dead. Crazy.

I saw that one too. Poor guy.
 
I got put into the competitive applicant pool today at georgetown, which was disappointing because i felt really good about this one. oh well better than a rejection right 👍
 
eablackwell said:
Yeah. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has watched that show. I'm not sure if watching Discovery Health is akin to wearing your stethoscope everywhere. 😉

:laugh: yeah, I used to watch that channel a lot before I got rid of my satellite.

If I could be anything in the world I would be a forensic pathologist. 😳

Yay, congrats!! maybe we will see each other in august!
 
The small thin no. 10 envelope in the mail actually contained good news 😀
 
I bet after seeing that thin envelop, reading the acceptance letter inside was extra sweet. Congrats!!

Was that evidence legitimate? I thought for some reason it was more propaganda than science.

GRATS court! 🙂 also, if anyone needs extra fb friends I'll friend people. However I'm invisible on fb because my students would try to friend me.

Ya'll know where to find me (the SDN2015 group) and if you don't know where to find that, then PM me.

👍+(platonic)😍 haha.
 
Congrats to everyone, again! Especially you, rhino! SO awesome.

Boo for rejections and waitlists. But do you want a school that doesn't recognize your amazing-ness?

I've had a lull but I am waiting to hear from Pitt on the 15th... :xf:
 
Is it just me or does anyone else find it a bit annoying that instead of having a "waitlist," some schools try to fluff it up with a fancy name like "continuing candidate list" or "competitive applicant pool"? I mean, if you're going to put me on a waitlist, just call it what it is, instead of using some lame euphemism.

And the line "we cannot offer you an acceptance at this time" ... yes you can! You could offer me an acceptance, you just choose not to! Sheesh.

Sorry, I had to get that off my chest to someone, and none of my friends like my med school whining. So whining to strangers it is 🙂

Pfffft, I got the following from one school:
Our [adcom] reviewed your entire application following your interview, and has decided to place your file in the [hold list]. This means that the [adcom] chose not to render a decision on your application at this time.

i had to throw in the fact that reading this just sent a shiver down my spine.

I put all my waitlist letters up on the door to my study. At some point, the fact that every single one of them contained some close variant of this phrase prompted me to highlight all the places it appeared.

I suppose doing that gave me the delusion of control I was craving just then... felt like I was onto them, with their lingual shenanigans...
 
haha that's a good one wanderer. As the great musical masterminds of Rush once said, if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice!

Things were going so good that I forgot to think about our status.😀

In the words of the poet, Forrest Gump... You're my girl.
 
I don't mind it when they fluff it up. I got one school's rejection letter that literally said the words "we don't find you to be a competitive applicant."

That's just like BOOM, it's not me it's you sucker! :laugh: At least when they say "we receive thousands of applications from qualified applicants..." you know that's true, and it isn't so much a slap in the face as "Hey, you have no hope anywhere because your file sucks."
 
Wash U has the nicest rejection ever. From last year:

Despite your fine record and accomplishments the Committe on Admissions has not found it possible to offer you a place in the class......We hope that when the time comes to plan your postgraduate medical training you will consider our fine medical center hospitals.

instead of talking about depressing stuff...



FREE WEEZY
 
We could also talk about how I bought a huge canister of peanut butter filled pretzels at Costco today.

Or how I bought Cliff chocolate.

Or how everyone in gravitywave's class (especially the girls) are improbably good looking.

Or how it is clearly already Christmas.....yet disgustingly hot here.
