Members do not see this ad.
Also, if I could please NOT have this conversation anymore, I'd be quite happy:


Them: Oh, why are you going out of town?
Me: Well, I'm applying to graduate school and there are interviews
Them: Oh, what kind of graduate school? For chemistry?
Me: No....medical school
Them: Oh, so like, a biology degree then?
Me: Um...no.....medical school.
Them: Oh, so like, a doctor?
Me: Yes.
Them: Oh, that's cool. My (insert random relative here) is a doctor.

That.
Was.
Awesome🙂



Whimsicle....I'm hoping this doesn't mean your day was bad🙁 Or if it was bad, please let it have been bad because you walked more than you thought you would in a particularly cute-but-not-comfy pair of heels.
Edit: Curbs, please join my crabfest.



Dude, I started tutoring again today.....I already have a student stalker. So far she has sent me 3 emails and a text. I JUST LEFT HER 3 HOURS AGO!!

Good god.

I think you are going to love the place in question, I just started off rocky and never quite recovered. You will be more than fine.

Also, crazy girl (correction: woman) needs to calm down.
 
my version:

them: why are you working here?

me: it's a transition period and i enjoy working with people and wellness.

them: a transition until what?

me: i'm in the app process for med school.

them: like nursing or something?

me: no. medical school.

them: oh like to be a doctor or something?

me: yes, to be a physician.

them: what kind do you want to be?

me: lists three specialties that come to mind, say i have an open mind, and pray they shut up

maybe we can up it to like 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or something emails and we can all be happy 🙂

Yes....and I feel fairly confident in guessing that she has at least 3 cats.




Whimsicle, I'm sure it wasn't as bad as you thought, and I know your app is amazing and they will still love you🙂 I will give them a stern talking to on Friday.

Maybe. I'm more upset at my defensive coordinator.

Here's today's horoscopes so we can see how our week will go interview- and interview invite-wise. Sound like Leo 2015ers will have some good interviews. I wish for your sakes that this bs comes true 🙂

Aries (March 21-April 19): Negative stress depletes the immune system. By doing something positive, you will contribute to the well-being of those around you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): You'll reflect with fondness on a period of time that, when you were living it, didn't seem so great at all.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Materialism is a dangerous system of values that causes disease and disharmony. Spend time with people who put people first.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): You are not your job, yet today it is extremely difficult for you to separate your identity as a worker from your identity as a person.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You have interesting stories to tell — something that's more obvious when you get around a curious person who asks probing questions.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get down to work. This will be challenging because your mind will be bouncing in a million directions.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Most people are intrigued by gossip, until it's about them. No matter who everyone is talking about today, stay away from the gossip mill.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): A good book or an engrossing drama will be an enjoyable distraction. You're not running from your problems — more like just giving them room to air out.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today you may catch someone in a lie. This is how you will find out what this person is most afraid of.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You'll have just as much fun at work as you will when you're not working.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today, if it feels like you're rubbing against the world instead of flowing with it, it's a good sign. Sometimes it takes friction to do important work.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You have an instinct for happiness that is activated by spending time around others who are similar.

when can stress not be negative? i think i need to start doing a lot of positive things, hmmm what to do what to dooo....
 
Sigh, I hate waiting. I think that's my biggest weakness that I wouldn't really tell adcoms in an interview. It's my pet peeve so much that when I was in a leadership position heading up meetings, if anyone walked in 5 seconds after I started the meeting, I made them do b*tch work.

And this translates to me being excessively impatient about hearing from schools. I feel like getting another big R would shut me up for a while though.

Knock on wood.

yeah I feel you on the lameness of waiting.

looking through last years threads though (too much time on my hands?) made me notice that most people who submitted fairly early were hearing by the end of September for the most part. i think these next few weeks should be interesting...

i think this process exacerbates the **** out of any impatient tendencies, but how about hoping for an invite instead of a rejection 👍

i seriously can't take being in school right now, i in no way care about any of my classes right now and am officially joining the crabby party.

I bet SDN is going to be crazy around October 15th. Haha, if I were in charge I'd accidentally schedule a forum outage for like two days around then.

Love CCLCM, not sure what I think about cleveland.

Also, just about to assume that half of my remaining schools will be rejections/waitlistinterviews.

There are so many great schools in meh places. But people seem to be happy anyway, so maybe it doesn't matter all that much.

No no, think positive! It's still early yet. :luck:

i'm aries too!

also, i tried making banana cookies. i just added mashed up banana to my oatmeal choc chip cookies. They tasted really good, but were floppier than normal cookies.

what are you baking?
 
Yay for the crabby party!!!!!!



Ok, so like a freaking idiot, I didn't realize I was on call until like 25 mins ago.

Today just gets better and better.

Whimsicle, out of curiosity, how much DID you walk today? I am choosing between two pairs of shoes.
Click to expand...

My interview cut into my tour, so not all that much (but I've heard you don't get to see much anyway). I always have a reserve pair of flats in my bag, but I didn't get a chance to put them on and it was fine.

I was gonna make pear crisp but about half the pears had bugs in them so now it's apple-pear crisp. I keep getting invited to my friend's house for dinner and feel like I should take dessert so I'm not totally mooching off them.

The cookies sound good! Yeah I bet if you added a little flour to the dough they'd go back to normal. I love oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, partly because at first I think they're oatmeal raisin and get pleasantly surprised when I realize there are chocolate chips in there.

Really???????? I hope you speak the truth. Can I join the "crabby party" too? :meanie: I am neglecting my classes so much and it just feels wrong, but you gotta do what you gotta do. 😕
If I am so lucky to hear from anywhere early :xf:, I would know my prayers had been answered. :luck:

Um hi. I spend half of my time at work toggling between the following tabs on Firefox:

Email
SDN
thesuperficial.com
latimes.com
whatever school's status I'm checking at the moment

It's okay though, the post-doc I work with spends all day shopping for real estate online.
 
Um........













email #5.






WTF.



Edit: Nessy, you can totally join the crabby party.

We need some chips and dip for this party. Preferably something really really bad for you. Like, with cream cheese.


Edit#2: Strawberry Milanos are gross.
 
i'm not feelin the crabbiness, but i'll bring chips, queso, and guac.
 
Reading part of the "Lowest MCAT acceptable for URMs" thread just gave me heartburn a little bit. I can tell tensions are rising all across SDN as people start getting rejection letters.
 
i haven't gone in that thread. i'm just imagining some white kid with a native american blood card because he's a 1/16 NA and got a 17 mcat and still thinks they should get into med school.

I used to read those, but now I know better. Better not to know what's secretly going on in people's heads when they run into me at an interview. 😛
 
Good God, after the URM MCAT thread, I went to read the thread about tanning pre-interview, expecting some Jersey Shore jokes. Nope, more vitriol being spouted over there.

To make me feel better, I looked at puppy pictures.

I'm looking at http://www.thisiswhyyourefat.com instead. SDN isn't a good place for warm fuzzy feelings.

The superficial is addicting. And I love thisiswhyyourefat.com. People are so creative.

I'm feeling more stress this week for some reason. And this thread has been a little dead which is sad.

Baller, you should try Nutella with apples.

duckie, u obviously don't know me well enough yet haha. i'll eat nutella with just about anythingggg
 
Ugh! I need to get my damn shoes for my damn interview, then take my damn suit to the damn tailor, but my damn PIN number for my damn replacement debit card still isn't here. It better show up today, so I can go to the damn mall tonight.

Dammit. 😡
 
just go to the damn bank and get the money out that you need so you can get your damn errands done in lieu of your damn debit card.
 
Yeah, I got an email this morning from a school... and it was just to "certify" my application. I applied to them well over a month ago, I was sorta expecting any correspondence to be real news.
 
Temple and Penn still have me hanging, nearly 2 months now... *sigh*

I called Drexel about my app still being listed as incomplete and they fixed it.
 
I applied to more than 20 schools and my state school (UConn) is the only one without an online "app center" for me to check.

I am confident that my application has slipped onto the floor, stuck to someone's shoe, got dragged to the parking lot, picked up by a gust of wind, landed in a dog park, torn apart by an aggressive beagle, digested, and excreted on my lawn.
