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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
My school has a pub that sells high alcohol content beers along with all sorts of other craft beers. That's how I was able to find out about Fin du Monde.

I'm not big on blonds myself, but hot damn Elisha is foine!

And for the valuable respect points, can I redeem them in the form of you writing my PS for me 😀

Oh very nice. Vandy has a pub, but the best beer they sell is Blue Moon. I still like that one though.

I'd be happy to proofread it for you. I gave mine to my buddy (a humanities major and quite talented writer) to make sure my PS wasn't rambling garbage. He said mine was actually quite good. I only made a few changes. I've never thought of myself as a good writer though...

He's sabotaging you. He's secretly applying to med school. He's gunning for your spot.

Gunners gunna gun.

Which raises the question: Substance vs. presentation?
 
When in doubt, go with the superficial. This is how I've always gotten ahead in life.

Sarcasm? Either way, I'm having difficulty striking a balance. I want to display my linguistic abilities, but I also don't want to overdramatize happenings that other people may find trivial. I've elected to go the honest route and state my actual reasons for pursuing medicine - these just happen not to be very compelling (i.e. would not make for good television).

Booo, PS is by far my least favorite part of applying. Slightly more painful even than requesting LOR's!

"The next day, when I saw the same patient wheel into the waiting room, I told him to shut the **** up."

My PS is like a reality show.
 
Whether or not I remove that sentence is entirely dependent on how close I am to breaking the character limit.

Lol. Yea it was. My apologies.

Be honest, and make it in your own tone. They don't want you to use a bunch of huge words or heavy-handed sentences to impress them. If you normally speak with a good vocabulary then that's cool, but make sure it doesn't come off pompous. I would definitely not make it overly dramatic, but you do want to get their attention. The things you want to discuss aren't trivial to you, and so they shouldn't be to them either. If something is part of your inspiration, then it is precisely what you should discuss. It doesn't have to be a story about you erecting a children's hospital in Papau New Guinea to be interesting. If you're a good writer and you want to show it don't worry about taking a little longer to finish. The balance is hard to get, but I think you'll be fine.

You now have a purpose in life!

I bought a 12 rack of Heineken and I plan on finishing it within the next hour or so.

DRUUUUUUNK. Unless you're sucking beer from the breasts of a beautiful woman. Can you imagine a more perfect world?
 
I know. I'm drinking tea and packing mah suitcase, and all the while imagining I'm on the shores of Cozumel with my entourage of international super models.

My entourage of intergalactic models trumps your models.

I've actually been to Cozumel, Senor Frogs is dope.
 
Renaissance, what's up man?? Good to see you posting again. Yes, I'm verified, and everything is great (just some stress here and there hoping to get at least one MD acceptance). How's everything going with you? The 2016 thread is a good bunch; I'd definitely encourage you to join us more.

I think I definitely will. I am still so happy that we took out MCAT early. I am not jealous of all of my friends who are stuck in library doing MCAT studying. I hope everyone is having a good Saturday night, I am staying in and chilling.
 
Quantity. Yea, I said it. Heineken is not quality. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

Agreed. Heiny tastes like hiney.
