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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I was reading something on SDN about transcripts today and I thought of a couple questions someone might know the answer to.

If I submit amcas in early June, I doubt my spring grades will be out by them. Does it matter if I send a transcript with grades up to winter quarter? When do we update grades?

What is everyone planning on doing?

My guess is that it doesn't matter but that you have to update asap...but I'm not sure. I'm applying at the time, my grades are out early may :-\

About the tattoo, what ones do you have? When I graduate, I have one in mind. I know it's probaby really cheesy, but I want to get a patriotic themed DNA strand. For one, I really love being in America. I'm not closed off at all to see other cultures, but I'm proud of where I came from (and my love of doing volunteer work for the military and such), and the DNA strand because biology really is my life. I absolutely love this major, I love learning about the body and cells, etc...and whether I get into med school or not, or whatever I'm doing, I will always love that science. Plus, there is an AMAZING tattoo artist nearby that I've wanted to get work from for about 5 years. Not only is she a tattoo artist, she's actually a painter.
 
Wow, it's like a hundred new posts everytime I log on. I've given up back reading. On a good note, I remember now what I was going to say yesterday! Does anyone here have any tattoos or plan to get any?


no, i don't think they are attractive.

Wow haha
The only way I would get a tattoo is if it really meant something to me, and I mean really means something. I see a lot of people get weird tattoos that don't make sense that want to get them removed too.
 
I'm so glad we were talking about old TV shows.

it's hilarious to think back to when you were like 11 years old, and remember who your TV crushes were, and now you're like, what was i thinking?

i'm man enough to admit that i've endured thru the amanda show more than once back in 6th grade

I went through some major life changes that affected my tastes. I think there is some awesome tattoo art and have nothing against tattoos in general. If you really like something and it is meaningful then go for it 🙂
 
I have stopped trying to say what I like in terms of types... I honestly just love women.
 
I hardly remember any of them...JTT and Drake I guess
 
IndianV, this ridiculous fighting is exhausting. I will friend you this time as a sign of peace and compassion. I even found this lolcat especially for you.

I'll even add in a Russell Peters video, a true classic in his repertoire:

Aw, you're too kind FloatOn, I always knew you were nice at heart.

My life is now complete, I am officially a friend of yours.

This is a cookie straight from a square box, just for you.

Well that was easy. 🙂

Did you catch the underlying message in the RP video? Be a man, do the right thing! :laugh: I will never get tired of that line...
 
Yea, he speaks the truth -

We can work together, we just can't work with each other.
Glad to you we're on the same side haha

edit: just listened to Float On, i've def heard it before, didn't recognize it
good song

Yea, strange how things work - I bet for the rest of my life, when I hear that song, I'll think of our petty disputes.

Weird stuff, friend.
 
wonder years is a whole nother level of tv. i cried so bad at the season finale when the dad died. also, i saw the main guy in a made for tv movie where he was this abusive bf who killed his gf and it scarred me for life bc i was like NOOOOO KEVIN ARNOLD WHAT ARE YOU DOING


just looked it up, the creepy movie is called 'no one would tell'

I know exactly the movie you're talking about. Scarred me for life too. Wasn't DJ Tanner in that one as the girlfriend? I think that's why I watched it.

P.S. Class of 2015. Woot.

The last episode sucked! The dad died and Kevin didn't end up with Winnie Cooper! That was like if Ross and Rachel didn't end up together 👎

worse, because the wonder years made us feel like it was still the late 60s and we all know everything feels sadder when it's got a nostalgic glow.
 
if i could grow up in a different time period i would.
 
me too. mid to late 60s. i would be a pioneering feminist like a late de beauvoir.




yeah it helped, i'm not doing it again bc i'm done being siked out and i don't go to the mcat boards anyway

I am so with you.

The March MCAT date is pretty dead anyway. hopefully that doesn't make the curve any tougher.
 
The curve isn't based on the people you take the MCAT with, it's a predetermined standardized curve. I forget the word they use for it, something like equivalency.

I have come to the conclusion that the way they score the MCAT is total B.S. Nobody can even fully explain how the "curve" works other than it is predetermined. During the practice AAMC tests I noticed I could get a higher percentage of questions right but end up with a lower final score than my previous tests (WTF). The only way it could really compare one applicant to another is if everyone took the exact same test.

I disagree. They test the questions they use on previous tests and give them easy-medium-hard ratings based on that. AAMC knows the distribution of people who will get certain questions right. The reason percentage is not used is because THEN there would be no reason to compare scores. Pretty much all other standardized tests work similarly.
 
what's up (future) docs? writing my PS currently. hating life. you know, the usual pre med friday night drill.

(i'm kind of snowed in...again)
