:laugh: At least I'm not one of those super long distance runners, they're the real weird ones... I draw the line at like 3.5 miles😀.
Hahaha. Duckie is one of those. But since she also makes cupcakes, I love her anyway😉

Also...Dexter RULES. I plan to have an amazing Dexter Marathon on Tuesday afternoon/evening. So excited.


I am going to Disneyland today for the Candlelight Ceremony and I am going to wear my Chrismukah Yarmukle

Haha I'm not one of those if you're talking ultra-marathoners. I can't imagine running for like 8 hours straight. The marathon is my limit. Thanks for the support though Cougs 🙂
 
Kaushik -- Unless you are set on UIC or I am missing something, I would consider going to the interview in Albany if you are only considering UIC for cheaper tuition. Albany looks like it is $42000 per year. UIC is $32000 (+ about one thousand in fees) BUT there is two summers you will be paying an additional $10000+ for clinical rotations over the summer... so really, you would only be paying an additional $20,000 at Albany than UIC.. and Albany potentially might be a better fit for you.

I've basically been using this argument with my parents about why UIC isn't my first choice -- even if at first glance it looks cheaper.

I'd rather go to UIC than Albany...
(and I'm from NY...)
 
are the redskins really this bad?

I missed the game. Heard the first half on the radio though, and from the sound of it I was never worried.

Was on a hunt for brunch, but the really awesome and cute French cafe that I love for brunch closed down the location I usually go to and are consolidating to one of their locations on the west side (they should've never opened up three/four locations... but whatever.. great place). Driving in the city, hahah, not the best decision but it was a fun day, and since the Giants won on top of that, an even better day.

It seems whenever I miss a Giants-Redskins game, the Giants blow them out, and when I actually watch them the Giants didn't bother to show up. A la going to the prime time game in Dec 2007 that had 40-50mph winds the day after we got 6-8 inches of snow here in the city, and Kevin Gilbride had the INGENIOUS gameplan of having Eli throw the ball 45 times while having the top rushing attack in the league. How do you lose to Todd Collins? Ugh.

Yea, I didn't apply to Albany nor do I really no anything about it... I was just trying to say that you shouldn't consider UIC only because it's "cheaper in-state tuition". There is plenty of good reasons to consider UIC though.

Yeah, I applied really late (as told in this thread the other day lol and made fun of about) to them. I would like to stay in this area so I applied to pretty much each NY school. Its foolish that I applied so late since my numbers match up there better, but I've just heard mixed things about the place.

I agree with you though, that if you have the travel money, why not check out more interviews.

I didn't mean to imply that my sole reason of interest in UIC is because of its tuition. There are lots of reasons why UIC is one of my top choices, only one of which includes the tuition.
 
The pac 10 is crazy this year. It might end up that only 3 schools go to bowl games, which is sad. There's so much talent but since they all play each other some of the records aren't too pretty. And I love college basketball but my team won't be...so good this year. (I think this is where I say it's a building year).
I just don't think college football is all that great in general this year. The whole Cam Newton hypocrisy thing pisses me off too.
Hope all is well everyone! It's the ol' gfs birthday today. Having lunch with her strict asian parents 😱 then surprising her with her present. Question, ladies. Would you prefer a "tangible" present that you have to open, or something like an hour long massage + a facial? I already bought her the massage, I just want to see how badly I screwed up :d.

In other news, is anyone still excited by this application process? I'm about sick of it. So tired of waiting, of mercilessly checking my email every day. Just wish it could all be over and time to start med school!!!
I don't think a "tangible" present is necessarily preferable to a gift of an experience. How did your gf like the spa treatment gift?

I'm way sick of the application cycle. I still don't think I'll be hearing anything from any schools until January, so I'm just kind of over it. I'm eager to start my classes so I have something to consume my time.

My gf thought it was the greatest present ever haha. She was a little nervous having someone else touch her but she ended up loving it. She didn't like the way the facial felt, but loves how it made the skin on her face feel/look the next day. Think I hit a home run!!!

I know how you feel about the app process. I'm over it too, and I'm also over people asking me how its going since no news is bad news at most of the schools at this point and I hate having to explain that I haven't heard anything in awhile. Fun stuff 🙁.... not!
 
Wow, I'm shocked that the poster called "theCynic" got banned after only 5 medium douchey posts. I think that's a new record.

Whatever!!!!!! I posted like 4 posts ago!!!! It is YOU guys who are all slow lately🙁

I noticed that. Maybe we're all too old to satisfy her cougar-ish needs. 🙁
I was going to say something like "I love premeds....I keep getting older, and they stay the same age" but it sounded creepy even to me.

Besides....I would totally take advantage of any one of you here and you know it!
 
Oh my Gooooooooood, I canNOT wait to see how this season of Dexter ends! LKIJKSMDDGJHUIKSADJFKSMFKGJOSD!!!

Dear application prrocess,

This is me... washing my hands... of you.

👍 I like this soooo very much. Congrats, geek! P.S. saw on your MDapps "interviewed at drexel, it was alright" - couldn't agree more. What a strange interview day...
 
:welcome:home App-buddy. Haven't seen your half-glass in awhile.

anyways....
can one write an appeal if a school decides not to interview you?

I felt like I got punched in the gut this morning when I saw my status for one school said "unable to interview." boooooo.

And I also got my first MD waitlist recently. But it was weird... while I enjoyed the school, the student body just didn't seem to "fit" with me. One of my interviewers even told me I looked good with my suit and that I interviewed well and that I should be great at future interviews... like this was my first mock interview or something... not my 10th and most likely final interview. weird.

Just caught up.

😱😱😱

They have serious **** of all types going down. I totally laughed at that bit w/Dexter and Deb.

How is everyone? Busy Monday morning here!
 
I just received a rejection email from a school I withdrew from 2 months ago...

I even received a withdrawal confirmation a long time ago.

The sad thing is, even though it doesn't matter at all, it still hurt my feelings for a few minutes.
 
so jealous geeky, last scheduled interview this thursday but i still need to write pre-interview updates to a few (strongly regretting my ridiculously narrow school selection)
 
Thanks, Hoody! 3 out of 4 if you count the fact that I never sent back my PCOM secondary. 😀
 
hey guys! im finally qualified to post here now! im so excited i cant stop happy-dancing! first choice school in the bag!
 
i'm having an extraordinary amount of trouble removing a splinter from my finger.. maybe medicine isn't my calling haha 😛
and congrats on the acceptance!
 
So you're one of the people who posts on forums to make fun of people who post on forums. Do you understand the sad irony here?

Why can't I be in a jovial mood? I really do have 1 more interview left. I have been all over the country already. I am ready to stop spending money and be done with it.
