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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
TOP!

Nope haven't heard anything. And yes, I saw in a few threads that they take awhile to get moving, so I can be patient.

:xf:

I will be there probably mid-July? I want to get used to the city and have a little fun before med school starts 🙂

That sounds like an excellent idea! Let me know if you have any questions about housing/where to live. I've been there for the past 10 years. (God, I'm old. :laugh:)

it's friday night, and i feel alright, the parties here on the west side...
 
I got an offer to join PBK today. I know it is supposedly the only honor society worth joining, but I'm not to into spending $70 to join. Anybody think it is worth it?
 
if you give me that $70 bucks i'll make you the president of the PT society :meanie:

I might have taken that deal before I filled out AMCAS. And if PT = Pound Town, then I'm already the Grand Emperor 😎.
 
no way is PT a dictatorship. it's too much of a community.

I did, you should too! It's not really "worth" the 75 bucks, but you can at least join it so you can say you're a part of it. At our school, there's a graduate stool scholarship you can apply for!

I agree that it can't be a dictatorship, but their is definitely a hierarchy. I would compare it to a ranking system, kind of like what you find in tournaments. Some of us are #1 seeds, and others are just wildcards. And while we may pair up for a match, one is clearly expected to out perform the other.

i'm good with that analyses.
 
Got an acceptance yesterday from UBC in my home city of Vancouver. Will be attending. 🙂

The pre-med ordeal is over!
Yay!!!! Congrats🙂

Am I seriously the only one who caught this😕


Ok, so, I am a loser. I don't want a boyfriend. I want to be single and selfish and run and go to medical school. I suck.

Also...my new running shoes came today. Yay.
 
The "old" discussion happened starting here. 😉 (Post #32767. I like that.)

Yeah... the xkcd definitely got me, and that's compounded by the fact that my cultural frame of reference is shifted a few years back.

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT

This sounds really dirty. Or maybe it's just the wine.

Yay!!!! Congrats🙂

Caught it too. :laugh: Enjoy your single lady-dom. Sometimes I miss it, 'twas much fun.
 
Welp, that was a fun day. Had the best tacos of my life and got most of my backpacking gear today and spent way too much money. Good times 👍👍

Grats Mithril on the at-home acceptance, that's great news! How goes it, 2015ers?

Haha, actually, I totally need to take you up on that. Slash, I'll be up there soon scoping things out. Let's fb?

I did. "Worth it" is relative, but the ceremony was nice, at least at my school.

Thanks, I think I'll join. I suppose I would regret it later if I passed up the opportunity.

Whimsy, I bet the ceremony at your school is pretty nice. IIRC, that is where pbk originated.

Yup! I'm in the group, so I'll find you and shoot you a friend request. 🙂
 
Philly is definitely going to be the place to be the next four years. 😎

When are you guys moving, whimsy & juliedi?

Longshanks: you hear anything from that Philly school yet? I'm afraid they might take awhile to get moving.

I'd like to come a bit earlier, but I think I'll be moving in the last week in July. (Bf and I both want/need to work for as long as possible. Boo.)

But I think we found a place to rent in Center City! It's a brand new building, everything's sparkly and shiny and new, and we might not even have to fly out to sign the lease, which would save another couple hundred bucks each!. Yay!

Congrats Mithril!

Also, let it be known that I slept in all the way until 9:00 today! Gasp! I haven't done that since... maybe last year!

I'm waiting for some waitlist movement too. I think I'll wait until at least the 17th to contact the dean and ask about my chances, since the 15th is on a Sunday and many of the withdrawals/new offers will take up the day of the 16th : / Argh. But good luck, longshanks! This is the part of my post where I would insert an inspirational Archer quote for you, but there aren't any inspirational Archer quotes. Rampage?

Just withdrew all my acceptances except one... this is so weird...

I told you I was withholding judgment until all the facts came in. Didn't take very long...
 
Hey guys, just had a great idea for a massive thread that would be a HUGE help to new SDNers and also cut down on even more crappy pre-allo posts. I need help compiling it all together and I was hoping some of you could help me.

I need some people who can help me compile all the best threads on SDN that helped you in the medical school process. I know of a bunch, particularly with the application process and MCAT prep, but I could use some more help...

The thread is going to be titled: A Guide on How to Use SDN to get into Medical School. I got the idea the other day as I was talking to a few people who were also applying to medical school who seemed utterly clueless to the admissions process who didn't know how to use SDN effectively.

I'm going to break down how SDN can be used to help you starting from someone who knows ZERO about the medical school process. Gonna use myself as an example along the way and show how I used SDN to get accepted. If you are on board with it and want to help, hit me up on gchat or pm me!

Great idea raffle, although the whole "cut down on crappy pre-allo posts" might be overestimating the common sense of many SDN users... Here's a thread I bookmarked during my interviews which was pretty awesome:

Hell yeah we're going on a rampage if these waitlists work out.

Those other wait listers better watch out with us around, cause they're in the danger zone!

Congrats! Tis a weird feeling, but yay!

I was sad when I received the refund of my deposit.

I'm still waiting for one of mine, the thought of that made me excited, because it means another 100 bucks--except my school has not yet billed my credit card for it. *gasp*

Yay!!!! Congrats🙂

1) Ooops, but I'm too lazy to fix it. I guess it's because I say medical stool all the time when I try to say medical school...

2) I think you're doing the right thing, IMO.

3) Yay for new running shoes! Time to beat the **** out of the pavement, and not your body!


Also, I went to an awesome party last night hosted by my club's board members, and I met this great guy who reallly really seemed gay/into me...like I left the party to drive my friend back to her place and I said I'd be coming back, and he offered to "keep me company"--and he had no idea who I was since we had just met. He also just sounded/acted totally like it, and my friend and her good gaydar texted me afterward just to tell me "he is totally a MO..or in the closet!"....at the end of the night, I found out he had a girlfriend.

SAD PANDA/Story of my life.
 
I guess her gaydar can no longer be considered good :shrug: Sorry that happened to you


edit: a mere 4 hours after bin Laden's death was announced, a NYC man had a website up and running selling T-shirts that celebrated the announcement. He made 120k in the first 48 hours. And a hotel in Ohio had their flag accidentally get stuck at half-mast that day, and they got dozens of threats. hahaha

got most of my backpacking gear today

Where are you going to be packbacking, raffle?

Now that I've got all of August to myself (school doesn't start until September), I'm thinking of going hiking somewhere. Hmm.

Maybe it's just the pina colada I had talking, but I just watched this video and for some reason it made me literally lol hysterically all over the place. WTF.

Edit: Sorry somehow it wouldn't embed it, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gjfZABX8Kw&feature=feedf

Those are some crazy gyrations.

We're still banking that he could totally be in the closet...we spent a lot of the evening together and he was kinda touchy/feely...or rather, I was and he didn't seem to mind. 😛

I hate you a little.
