Class of 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hey, this is all hypothetical...but I don't know as much about the midwest as some of the other people in this thread, seeing as there are a few people from Chicago. If you were accepted to both Northwestern and Mayo, which would you choose?

NU because I'm from Chicago, duh 🙂 Tough choice though.
 
Heh, I see. Strong home times. My dad received his DDS from Northwestern, so of course he wants me to apply here.

I love the avatar BTW, Jordan is my hero.
 
OMG IM GETTING INTO HARVARD WITH A FULL SCHOLARSHIP?!?!!?!? 😉


:laugh:

My dad always says that getting angry or upset isn't going to change anything. So I end up laughing a lot.

I mean, life could always be worse:

:laugh: at that link. Nothing screams rock bottom like some "crack between the buttocks". Harvard full ride? Probably not, but maybe! 😀

Yep- MJ's the man. Growing up in the 90's in Chicago was unbelievable, watching him dominate. One of my earliest memories in life: MJ taking down Magic Johnson and the Lakers in the 90-91 NBA finals for his first title. I was four years old.
 
On another note, I just realized that I failed to report four AP Credits for Calculus on my AMCAS app. Do you think this will cause a delay, or do you think they'll notice it on my transcripts and fix it themselves?
 
My application has now been processed! Nice! 😀
 
Such strong positive vibes coming from everyone here, it must be app season 😀.

Here's hoping all this wonderful positivity translate into me beasting the MCAT. Who am I kidding, I don't need luck for that ish 😎

but it wouldn't hurt for you guys to wish me luck anyways

Omgosh I feel so left out, this thread is going crazy. It DID make me happy to read it though, especially after physics knocked me down. Love my 2016ers!

Though, I do have something to be happy about today even though I didn't submit! Just got a poster accepted to a national conference in DC this fall 🙂 Its not a pub, but I'll take what I can get!

Grats. Sometimes I wish I would've done a more traditional science major other than math. I had no luck finding research ops as an undergrad.

Physics still getting you, ay?

Its a public health conference, which I think is more exciting than a science one any day. I'm quite excited! It's not until October though, long ways away.

Physics always gets me haha. Though I think I was doing okay on the BR practice passages I did today. Won't know until a practice test though. Need to order theirs, as I used all the AAMCs 🙁

That sounds really cool- jealous! Physics: well, you know what to do 😉
 
Congrats on the conference!🙂

My list is at 18 schools.
Someone make me feel OK about this!
 
What's wrong with 18 schools? Sounds like a good number to me.

(Feel better? :laugh:)

what's wrong with 18 schools is the $2500 price tag for AMCAS and secondaries 😱

Yay! Well done 👍

Girlfriend is asleep in the other room and I'm lurking on SDN lol.
 
Practically double that for my costs. That should make you feel better. 😎

no, because i have to pay for an international flight to come back for interviews (and hopefully only once but god knows how that'll work out...)😀

How much is 18 interviews gonna cost? :meanie:

It's depressing. I could go to Europe for a month with $2500.
 
I have 26 schools right now at $1100....sigh. I have to keep thinking it's an investment in my future otherwise it'll really get me down haha

That's awesome though! Well, not the flight payment haha but being abroad. Where are you?

japan!
 
No way, that sounds amazing!!! Are your researching/studying abroad/working?

One of my friends from undergrad is teaching English in Japan this year (it's her first year). She's awesome. It must be a great experience. I'm extremely jealous.
 
I know a lot of people who do the teach English abroad (most of them in Korea) a lot of them do it because they never got to go abroad as an undergrad, and some others do it because they couldn't get a job after graduation. I was thinking about doing it myself, although I'd go to Spain because 1. I've been there before and absolutely loved it and 2. I could use the extra practice on my Spanish.

Anyways, should be going to sleep, going to take another practice test tomorrow, two weeks and counting.

Remember you're only attending 1. Nothing wrong with 26 though. Believe me, I have read about people who have applied to 40+.

In other news, verified this morning!!!
 
No, I have no urge to do it. I only applied to 10 schools, so I don't mind waiting until I get them. I'm also studying for a rewrite of the MCAT on 6/16.



9:40 AM EST, Verified at 9:29 AM this morning.

Hah yea I would def not be pre-writing if I were studying for the MCAT.

I submitted about 30 min. after you. I'm thinking I'll get verified prob late today or tomorrow.
 
I prewrote all my secondaries last december. And ended up applying ED. :boom:

At least I'll have a quick turnaround if rejected ED and I choose to add schools this cycle...

They let you know on 10/1, right?
 
So when do those secondaries start rolling in? Haven't gotten any emails yet since I was verified 🙂
