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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
My regular shift ended at 9:30, so now I'm working because I'm on call. Which is awesome, I get paid 1.5X, get paid even when i'm at home on "stand by." There are only a few other people working on call too so I get to do more (b/c they need me to do more). I only have 1 room to worry about instead of 10, so I have more time to just watch. I really like taking call but it is hard when I have school and homework. I wish I could do it more often.
 
That's pretty cool.

I wish my volunteer job was little more upbeat. I help transport patients wherever they need to go, like xray, ultrasound, mri, from ER to rooms, and such

If you take a patient to radiology, untrasound, mri etc. . . do you get to hang around and watch until they are done? If so it seems like that would be a good way to get a feel for the hopital and different specialties.

Nah 🙁 Don't get the chance, patients get called in for moving all the time, so gotta keep moving. I do know the entire hospital pretty much, haha! But I did do about 30 hours in public health at an h1n1 clinic
 
Tonight I went to the gay bar with:

4 Straight Girls
3 Lesbians
2 Gay Men

and I was the partridge in the pear tree. (straight male) Good times =)

Haha, that's funny 🙂

this is what you should spend your application time doing 🙂. Youll be more sane for it (though i know you will like many of us obsessively check sdn during app season lol)
 
I'm starting to write my PS. I have a central theme and everything, I just don't know how to actually start it off/open it

My name is Artimacia, and let me tell you why im awesome 😉

Starting and ending are the toughest parts, IMO. Just brainstorm it out in the beginning, jotting down notes, etc.

I'm having the same problem. I have a large part of the middle written, and now I'm just working on the start and finish so I can make it cohesive. It's harder than I anticipated, but it is going fairly well so far.

Yea, I haven't typed it out yet, but I have already typed out my story/themes (grandfather theme I mentioned earlier in here) but I don't know if I should just be like "My grandfather....." or "When I was in highschool, i got in nhs, grandfather cried, didn't know why then..." kindof start. This is tough!
 
Yay! Got my first paragraph of my personal statement! It's a start 🙂

Update: Got to the end of my grandfather's story, get's me every time 🙁

Is the 2010-2011 MSAR that is available the best one to get for applying in June? I don't want to buy it if a new one will be avaiable next month or something.
 
I'm almost done with my personal statement, I've had four people read it already and got great feedback 🙂

a new one will be available sometime during or just before the app cycle starts. If i remember right...the 2010-2011 msar didnt come out until june 2009? Anyways regardless the difference between the 2010-2011 msar and the 2011-2012 msar is just about nothing. If you want to use one to pick schools id just go with the 2010 one. Hell buy mine ahha 😛

I have a subscription to US news and world report which has a fair amount of admissions info, so I think I'll probably wait until the new MSAR comes out. Unless I get impatient.

Haha, I'm a girl, but that's ok. I figured if I get it done early, it's one less thing I have to worry about later on, ya know.

Btw, go vikings 🙂

I'm about to take mine into my pre-med adviser this week. Hopefully she tears it up - better her than the adcoms.
 
I haven't finished my PS yet, but I did buy my suit for interviews. I'm going for confident yet approachable, & stylish but functional. See pic below.

oh and the glass and jewelry are included.

Well... at least I'll know if I run into you on the interview trail. You'll certainly be unique. 👍

I'm hoping to really make a statement...

:laugh: with an outfit like that I'm guessing you will get a lot of very long interviews. The guy in the picture checking out her backside is priceless.
 
Lol, I thought she really had no pants or cover on her down low, haha!

I think I will dominate the interview in this unique ensemble, opinions?

:laugh: Lady Gaga is crazy, but if my interviewer is too busy staring, maybe he (or she...) will want to accept me in the hopes that I dress like this all the time.

And that outfit... :scared: Well, you'll certainly not get a stress interview - they'll probably be way too scared of you to speak, let alone reject you. I think you should try it out and report back to us.

The wig too? Or do you have the silky locks to pull it off?

I think the nailpolish is a little distracting. I mean purple...really?

I'm gonna grow it out, and if anyone doesn't like it I'm going to quote Katt Williams and say "don't sit back there and say my hair ain't luxurious when you know it is, bi*%^."
 
Haha, I wonder how she'll dress when she's really old
 
I can see his left nipple...
Nick Cage is a scandalous guy.

And that guy behind him clearly just wants some ass, too bad he thinks that's a girl

The person who made that said that they picked the pair because lady gaga is a hermaphodite and nick cage has no balls, so it works? haha
 
A guy I tutor with offered to help me with physics and chemistry by coming in an hour before his shift starts so I get better at it, yay!

Ballroom is so fun! So many homophobic dudes are missing out by conflating dance and homosexuality. Dancer gals are HOT and FLEXIBLE. Haha!

My old next-door neighbors each had their kids before 16!! Hopefully your home town isn't that bad!
