God, I am so happy to be done with this ****.

Hopefully, you can stand the year of application process, the demoralization along the way, and the mentla breakdowns.

You'lll never forget this year.

I enjoy it so much more when **** is spelled with an exclamation mark because it really does look like an upside down i...none of that * business.

I'm trying to look at it like an adventure. I get to go to cities I haven't been to before. I get to meet new people and hope that we jibe well. Get to make new friends when I find somewhere. =)

its really just another year of your lives, you are gonna look at it the way your personality allows you to look at things in general.
 
It'll be interesting. It's probably going to be how my sister describes field training, assuming the season goes decent, (she's training to be a military officer) is "It's the most fun you'll never want to have again"

A very brisk kind of cold. Kinda windy, though not as bad as it's been.

I'm also slightly panicky at the thought of a Class of thread I can post in.

I live in toronto so im sure i'll be fine 🙂

Lifes too short to panick! yay new years tomorrow! got my new blazer, ready to rock 😎
 
It's about 60-70 degrees outside here in sunny florida....a breezy day would be nice
 
Haha, I feel like an idiot, every 2 weeks coming back to this thread that I started, and posting something stupid like "what's up guys" or "just saying hi."

I promise I'll post more after the mcat is over. we gotta make sure this stays on page 1 all da time, my friends.
 
Yea, busy here too :-\

I just came back from Miami last week. 🙁 I was a little bit disappointed that it was cloudy and windy. I love sunny days! 😀
 
It's going to be 60 degrees all week, nice and cool
 
Yay, Happy New Year 2015ers!

May all of our wishes come true this year! (aka, may we live to see next year after: LOR's, PS, MCAT, application, interviews, agonizing waiting period, are all over. Piece of cake!) 😀
 
Hey glamdoc, I remember you posting a while back about considering taking the Jan 30 mcat, you still planning to?
 
Happy new years guys!!!
I made 500 bucks playing blackjack at Casino niagara last night after the fireworks. It was awesome!! hahaha great way to start the new year no? 😀😀😀

I did consider it for a while, mainly right after getting my September scores back. But I haven't prepared AT ALL. So I'm pushing it till March/beginning of April. I can't risk it, especially since it'll be my second time around. 🙂 Just need to reach that magic 30, or hopefully a point or two above that!

What about you IVercetti? How's the prep going? Only a few more days now for you...:luck: You're probably in the 😱 state right now!

lol yea you're right, I'm in the 😱 stage right now. Good luck on the retake in the spring, the Jan 30 mcat thread is so epic though, 1400+ posts; 37000+ views.. I pretty much consider that the class of 2015 thread #2
 
random question....

What is test prep week? I feel it should be self-explanatory, but I'm secretly hoping that it involves jeopardy and wheel-of-fortune flash games over BS and PS.
 
Well if I plan on entering an MD/PhD program, would I still be considered class of 2015? No idea...lol

don't be in 😱 state. as part of my preparation for MCAT (and life really lol) I did a stress reduction clinic. I was soooooo chill when I took my test...clicked those answers with steely determination.
You'll do great though 🙂 :luck:

That reminds me of last semester my schools honors program offered a stress relief/meditation class for finals. It's really relaxing 🙂 Yea, I'm in that 😱 state as well. I guess it just seems weird to talk about all of this months ago and for it to actually be time to take it.
 
I went into the testing center knowing I was well prepared and that I work better under stress. I don't believe you can really get rid of stress in a stressful situation, it's all about tuning your responses to feed off of it =)

So that's my advice for the mcat... be confident. It sounds cliche, but it's so true.
 
I finally found this thread on page 3. . . I haven't been keeping up because I went on a vacation the past 2 weeks. Tomorrow I start classes again, winter break on the quarter system is too short! Tomorrow is my first day of classes and 1 of my teachers has already assigned a written assignment we have to turn in at the begining of our lab at 8am. What a d-bag! I hope no one else has a cruel teacher like that. Thanks for letting me vent.
 
bummer, oh well atleast u got a nice 2 week vacation.

on another note, where are u guys???
 
hey guys! just wanted to shout out to all the 2015ers! I'm a 2014er myself and just wanted to wish you guys the best of luck. I've had a helluva journey myself. Not that you guys are asking, but if you have any questions about MCAT prep schedules, require PS reading, or application advice, I'd be more than willing to help because lord knows this site did the same for me. PM me if interested whenever! Best of luck!

Until you get your baller MCAT score and get the urge to bring it up in random conversation for about a week out of the joy of succeeding after trying to hard! Think positive! =)

Tomorrow?! Wow, we don't get started until two weeks from now.

Also, that prof is a d-bag. Most of my professors at least wait until two days after class starts to bring on the pain. Good luck!
 
as I was chasing down a bus with my friends in order to avoid paying for a cab to the bars I forgot I had my glasses in my sweater pocket...and somewhere along the way they fell out and i didnt notice. Managed to find a friend at the bar to drive me back so I can look for them...but...they were gone (and they were expensive brand new ones!) 🙁

I went back to the bar figured i;d get drunk and forget about it, but my ****ty mood didnt go away. 🙁🙁
and now im completely sober thinking ****..
but i just realized, i didnt even like those glasses!! hurray for new perspective!! 😀

Thanks. Yeah the quarter systems breaks between quarters sucks, but we get a little longer in the summer. I guess it's ok. Yesterday was funny because most of my class mates were like "What? We had homework before class started?" Even our TA wasn't sure what to collect. I'm glad I had this jerk before and remembered he assigned work before the first day last time I took him (for a different class btw).

Now I'm studying a 40 page lab safety guide for our safety exam tomorrow. If we get below an 85% we get kicked out of the class. Which would be very lame.

To everyone on break enjoy it while it lasts. I didn't think about school once over mine (besides getting LOR) and it was awesome!

Kicked out of class? Wow - at least it's just safety, which shouldn't be too bad?

I am very much enjoying my break - I was supposed to shadow more but I really can't bring myself to go to the hospital at 7 am when I can sleep in. Something tells me I'm going to regret that a little bit when I'm shadowing over my spring break and before I turn in my apps...

surely it's just a scare tactic. i bet they'll let you remediate too

I shadowed 3 days over winter break and when I scheduled the time I did 2 days at 10 am and 1 day at 11 am. It worked out nicely. If you can schedule it for later than 7 am you should, they won't think anything of it. Personally I don't think there is anything you will see in a full day that you won't see in a half day (unless there is an awesome rarely performed sugery/procedure scheduled early in the morning). I've shadowed two separate doctors (ortho & pain management) and it was awesome, but they primarily saw similar patients all day.

You called it. It turned out a passing score the first time is 75% and if we failed we got a second chance but need an 85% to pass, then if we fail the second time we get kicked out. I took it this morning and I'm pretty sure I passed. I will feel pretty slow if I didn't. A 40 page study guide for a safety exam is ridiculous though!
