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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Ok, come on, how many do you have so far?🙂

Edit: you know what, you need to PM me.....I need to know if I'm going to run into you😛

Just making sure...your not some undercover ADCOM member are you?? 😏
 
Hey all of you who were successful at Duke.....did you do the optional essay?

Is it actually optional? Or is it that you HAVE to do one, but have the option to choose?🙂 Such confusing wording...

Edit: Ok, I think I am 99.99% sure it is truly optional. So did you all do one?

I didn't do it, and it turned out alright for me. 🙂

Yah, I totally have answers for...well...all of them🙂 It seems like the successful people have done them. You are the 2nd that I know of.

I just got this secondary today and I am determined to submit it tonight. Stupid Flow for making me apply there.

Goooo Cougs!
 
the turnaround on the invite to duke is ridiculously fast, so i don't know if the optional/essays in general count that much there. supposedly the interviews are very heavily focused on the essays, so i think writing the optional essay provides significant upside for the interview->acceptance phase

edit: that shell video was awesome and single-handedly made me forget about my aching jaw where wisdom teeth once were

do we ever get to ask schools "Why me?". i know everyone hates the "Why such and such SOM/COM?" essays.
 
no, asking why me is opening pandora's box. i would think, however, it is because we embody the quality that ma$e failed to find an appropriate word for: "i dont chase money, man, money chase me"
 
Interview invite to Vanderbilt and Case Western!

Hey....wasn't there a bball pact made in this thread?🙂


I too think that next week will be big for everyone.



Dudes, trauma training is sucking the life out of me. Its been a long time since I've been this uncomfortable. I both hate it and love it🙂
 
hopefully it's a big week for all, going back to school will at least make this damn no-mail sunday pass quickly
 
Sorry I was listening to Olivia Newton John's song haha...

Anyway, I don't want to jinx anything by saying that we'll have a "big week" ahead 😛

but hope we do! :xf:

"Let me hear your body talk..." (Hey, that's related to medicine..since it's our job!)
 
Dear med schools,

I actually AM superman (see facebook), therefore you should admit me.

Thanks.

Dear Flow,

If I get a private Superman showing whenever I want, you can have my spot at med school.

Thanks,

Cougs

I am home from a party.
I need to go to parties more often.

Random Question: What are, if any, the negative effects of the health care bill on physicians that will occur in the near future?
 
if pete and andre were still pete and andre i'd care.

less dolla dolla bills yall.
 
my mom told me today that noone is going to study my transcript as much as I am believing. She sat on adcoms for phamacy and law school for 20+ years and she told me that I have way too many credit hours and that I need to quit obsesseing over taking all these extra undergrad (and grad level) sciences to marginially increase my gpa.



grrrr. life is stressful. at least I've lost about 10lbs. :laugh:

I actually don't doubt this is true. I am getting the feeling that at most schools, the same thing is happening to me. I have way too many units for them to figure out what happened when and where without spending an hour on it.

Word! I'm even happy there are preseason games to watch.

:idea: Some of us 2015ers need to put together a fantasy league! We could draft toward the end of the month to assess the injuries around the league. Anyone interested?
 
no fantasy football for me, thanks.

but I'd be happy to put something together for the college bowl games or the big dance next march. I'm not big on pro sports. I'm more into college sports (hockey for the win!) and elite gymnastics. 👍

also, I might know a thing or two about fashion....which is considered a sport to some 😉 (and on that note, I'm terribly saddened that my issue of vanity fair has gaga on the cover. i hate the gaga. boo.).

yeah rhino, lets do it on espn if that's cool.
 
the mcat forum and people retaking 30+'s are making me crazzzzzzzzzzzzzzy.


moving on.
 
stay off of there unless its your specific test day and you just want to see how other people are reacting to your test.
 
I don't want to go either. Tomorrow is my first day alone in the ER after some seriously shoddy 2 hours of training. Not looking forward to it.

The termite people are coming tomorrow, and my house is a mess. I am giving myself 40 minutes to clean as much as I can then I'm going to bed since I need to be up at 5.

As long as it has free live scoring like yahoo then I'm down with ESPN. Speaking of Espn, I've always wondered what was the matter with the guy who says "sports center, BROUGHT TO YOU BY... Smirnoff ice." the guys always sounds like he's constipated or something.

I think having fantasy sports to check will be nice, hopefully it will distract me from the school specific threads and my email.
 
i know for bball and baseball its live stats so i'd assume its the same for nfl.
 
Grats to all the new interview invites!

If you have me friended on FB, kindly check out the amazing picture of Chicklet's hair that I posted last night. It's hilarious. Also, I'm going down the shore for the day tomorrow. YAY!

This is going to be a good week, I can feel it. In my bones. Deep.

👍 I've had that "this is the week" feeling for awhile. But each week that feeling intensifies. I hope THIS is the week.
 
I'll go ahead and use my mystical first-post powers to say that this is gonna be the week for us all. Y'all just wait and see.
 
week starting off with my 2nd science LOR finally uploaded and sent to schools. That has to mean it will be a good week! 👍
