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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I am pretty sure this is correct (5300 is including spaces, though). Or, at least, that's what I've gathered from SDN conventional wisdom. I believe the changes this year are only for Work/Activities descriptions, not for the PS.

I thought it was only like 4600 characters last year, or am I mistaken? 😕
 
Just for clarification, when can we start sending AMCAS our transcripts? If you have created an account with them (& started a 2012 application?), you can start sending them on the day it opens, correct?

Anyways, my MCAT is coming up soon 🙂scared🙂, so I'll be more active after that, haha.

I assume we can do it as soon as we've opened up an account, and have printed out that bar-coded transcript request forms to be sent to schools from which we'll be expecting transcripts.
 
Hah thanks guys🙂 Archer is fantastic. I don't know what I ever did without it.

Oh gosh don't tell me that. Last thing I need is ANOTHER TV show to distract me from writing my personal statement haha.

I'm already addicted to law and order svu, house, how i met your mother and modern family.
 
Clock is moving so slow... I'm ready for the weekend 😎
 
Hey 2016ers!

I just finished a draft of my personal statement. Check it out if you have a couple minutes to kill. Thanks!
 
+1, but then that would mean I have a lot of studying to do.... 🙁

Same, pre-application year sucks. I've got too many things on my to-do list and all I can think about is summertime.

Oh, I know! I keep thinking about all the things I want to do when I am done studying for the MCAT, but then I remember all the things I have to do to prepare for sending in my app. 😡
 
:hello: blah. I agree with you all. Research. Then ochem lab at 3. Phew. Then I get to go home and study for the mcat 👍 I honestly still have so much stuff to do. Plus, our committee packet was already due, but we're waiting on three writers of mine :/ fml. Alright, rant over. It's almost the weekend, baby.
 
Ah, yeah I'm glad my MCAT is over but somehow I got more busy afterwards. It's pretty sad that nowadays the main reason I look forward to weekends is because I have the entire day open to potentially get work done. Of course, I usually spend a good portion of that time finding new music cause I'm too hungover to focus.

:laugh: Guess I can always fall back on being a talent scout/musician manager
 
hungover, hopefully I can study in the evening and go out again tonight
 
actually I've been super productive, almost done going over a BR chapter 😀

Ah, to have no job. 😛

This might sound funny, but I'm actually looking forward to medical school so I can spend all day studying instead of spending all day at work and then all night studying.

We'll probably be spending all day and all night studying. 😀

But I agree, work sucks (but paychecks are nice).

This is the only reason I'm working! :laugh:

My next hangover is going to be on April 27th, day after I find out my MCAT score. If its good, it will be out of celebration. If its bad, it will be out of misery. Hoping its the former.

Wish I was able to be productive after a night of drinking. Maybe I'll start training myself to get good at that. 👍

Here's to hoping it's good news! :luck: Cheers!

:laugh: didn't you take drinking 101 as a pre-req?

Unfortunately I failed out after the first week...oops. Guess I should plan to re-take it this summer so I don't fall behind 😀

Yeah, it was pretty much a weed out class. Only the serious students were able to finish. :meanie:

I loved it so much that I decided to take it multiple times. I believe its the only class that allows for repeat performance :laugh:

bahahah I wonder what adcoms will think of that....I would see it as dedication and passion.

I'm putting it down as one of my top three significant activities. 👍
 
speaking of which, only two hours away from a (few) beer(s) and a couple good movies. I hear them calling my name.....
 
Heading to BJs tonight for a friends bday party. Hopefully this doesn't turn out too crazy. I do have to work tomorrow and working with kids hungover is no bueno.
 
damn, I feel like I've missed a lot!
as for hangover school 🙂cool🙂 I completely failed out the day I turned 21. Honestly, hate the taste of alcohol and cannot keep it down, leading to me being completely sober since I turned 21 👎
Though, I have recently gotten a PhD in eating chocolate while studying 👍 super success! now to devour this cheesecake while I churn out this instrumental homework... beast!
 
just realized i'm actually also part of the c/o 2016 club lol. Good luck everyone on this up-coming cycle :luck:
 
Ahh got it. I'm actually in the MPH program at Case, so I have classes with some CCLCM students and they were talking about that. Sounds awesome, congrats!

am I the only undergrad junior in here?! seems like most are non-trads
 
Very cool... Pitt seems like such a great school, and it's semi-near my family in Pennsylvania. Here's hoping for an interview this fall :xf:

your stats make me depressed, what was your MCAT study method?

Yeah, guilty as charged. I graduated last year and am in l'Afrique right now. It's sort of nice, I don't have to worry about classes while applying. But I actually really miss studying! I'm with BWSTW on this. I can't wait to be studying full time!

Hope your weekends are all going awesomely! 😀

Nothing unusual... Kaplan and AAMC full-length tests, EK for sciences and verbal, and pretty much every question Kaplan offered online. Oh, and lots of luck on test day 😀
