When was this? The privacy controls currently available in Facebook should allow a matter like this to be fixed fairly trivially.

Anyway, Facebook can be as private as you want it. I see you have opted for the ultimate in privacy. 😉

I had my privacy settings all jacked up to full. Then one day, facebook went and changed them on me. I'm not even joking. I don't trust Mark Zuckerberg. Not in the slightest.
 
Morning peeps! This thread really moves at night!
 
No secondaries this morning? Ugh...

On top of that I am late for work because of the damn shuttle...
 
First medical school interview invite today. Its getting real!😀
 
TechMed is your interview the 5th of Aug or the week later one?

I always used to tell people I'm from the hood of my suburban whitopea, because there are apartment buildings where I live.


Honestly, the town where I grew up is such a sickeningly perfect place to live that it makes me want to throw up a little bit. It won an award from CNN a couple years ago for being the best place to live in America. Click. I hightailed it out of there when I graduated high school, but it's not so bad if you have small children. I just found it to be stifling.

The nerve, to come in here all privileged and whatnot...

Also, I can appreciate the new avatar. Calvin and Hobbes!

Other than her being like 7' tall, I find her really attractive.

I thought she was on the shorter side iirc. 😕


Ain't nothing wrong with being privileged, but the trick is to realize that not everyone has that luxury, which is easier said than done based off the comments I've heard from students over the past two years.

Yay, I'm glad someone recognized it. 😀 Best comic of all time. By a long shot.

You're probably right. *sigh* :laugh: Well, too bad for them. I made myself a Transmogrifier when I was a kid. Also, I was Stupendous Man for Halloween my senior year of high school. Best costume ever.

And I couldn't see your comic strip cuz the link was broken. 🙁 But here's another awesome one, and it's perfect for those MCAT studiers.

I see the gender confusion extends to real life, as well :laugh:

Dumb SDN. The strip keeps showing up and disappearing. But it exemplifies how I've approached education for the past decade of my life.

No one makes good comics about girls. 🙁 I made up for it by being Cinderella this year. And I was a cat like five years in a row when I was little, that's pretty girly. :laugh:


Here's another appropriate C&H strip:

Yikes. 😱 I got FAP but I think mine would have been under $600 for 14 schools. I thought 14 was kind of on the high end of average. Though I think people on SDN apply for waaaay more schools than most applicants do. One of my good friends from undergrad applied for 4 schools and got accepted at 3 of them. He was a pretty average applicant too.

No kidding. And it's a good thing I'm going through and double-checking I meet all the academic requirements for the schools to which I'm applying. No molecular bio = no USC app.

You guys still use facebook? I refuse, I deleted/inactivated my account.

My friend got stalked hard. He was tricked into accepting a friend request from someone who had just gotten facebook, he knew her. This fake person used a picture he would recognize. Then this fake girl whoever she was started writing all over his wall. Then somehow she found out where he lived through his photos. Stalkers will go to great lengths apparently to magnify street signs.

So I removed my photos but I was just too weirded out by the lack of privacy.

Facebook is an incredible tool for meeting people and keeping up with friends from afar. I would say instances like what happened to your friend are very rare. The good that facebook does far outweighs the bad in my opinion.
Well except for the distraction it can be from finishing my primary, but then again SDN fits that as well. 😛

That is so weird though, i thought that the normal bio curriculum included classes like molecular bio, especially since its tested on the MCAT. I guess it just depends on the school. My bio curriculum has me reach the academic requirements for pretty much every school. The exception is the biochem lab requirement for Johns Hopkins, but I'm not applying there and biochem and its lab can go die in a fire.

I thought Hopkins changed their admissions requirement so they only require biochem lecture. I could be wrong.

I don't plan on applying to Hopkins anyways. I'm not going to give them the pleasure of rejecting me :laugh:

I've never had a problem with facebook, but maybe then again I don't have neurotic stalkers (yet). I've actually been on SDN more than facebook recently, which is saying something.

Aww sad. 🙁 I took molecular bio solely because of USC's requirement. :laugh: I love that school. Molecular bio didn't even help me out on the MCAT, clearly, with my stupid 10 BS score.

Yeah, I agree. I miss the days when Facebook was only open to college students, though.

Johns Hopkins can go die in a fire. :laugh: But only because they'd never accept me.

Ah, but I was not a bio major and did not follow the traditional curriculum.
Physics --> ecology

I wouldn't really go out of my way to do ANYTHING for USC, so I'm not too torn up about not satisfying this requirement. If I really cared I'd just call up admissions and ask for an exemption. However, as things stand, I DESPISE their football team - yes, this is a factor I consider, subconsciously or ortherwise, in assessing med schools - and I couldn't have lived with myself sending them the $$$.

It was fun while it lasted 🙁
