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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Yeah, you all are. This whole process of applying to medical school really sucks, and the only people who seem to understand how much are others applying. To be honest, I think it's worth it just for the support. Most everyone who hasn't applied is just like "you are awesome, they'd be crazy not to take you!" All of us are like: Yeah, and you should check out the numbers of crazy smart people that get rejected. 😱

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. I spend so much time on SDN just because it's wonderful to be around people who really understand what we're all going through. I'm not in school and I'm a post-bacc, so I don't know a lot of other pre-med students to commiserate with. :laugh: And when I tell other family and friends about it, they just say, "Of course you'll get into med school, what are you talking about???" because they just don't realize exactly how hard it is.

+1 especially to the bolded. This thread is full of win.
 
Having support is great. Agreed. 👍


You pull for me and I'll pull for you!

Interview:
1: So, Shakes, what makes you think you can be a doc?
Shakes: Well, I've spent a lot of time doing......... and also, Bookfreak would be a great fit for your school because she's AWESOME and I really feel that her knowledge..........
1: Ummm, what?
Shakes: Bookfreak, man! You gotta take her! She will take this whole operation to the next level! I'm telling you..... seriously!!!!
1: I think maybe you misunderstood the question.
Shakes: Maybe I did, but Bookfreak wouldn't. You couldn't piss ice past her in a snowstorm. Seriously. You gotta offer her a seat now.
1: Bookfreak didn't apply here.
Shakes: Really??!?!?! Oh, well, your loss then. I mean, if she didn't, I don't even know why I'm here. She's the s#$@. I'm out. Gotta go check SDN. Peace.

Me stu. I need sleep to put together the most awesome FB page ever tomorrow!

Haha I have great faith that it will be baller. :laugh:


I gotta go to bed too. Got about three hours of sleep last night thanks to being a little drunkie lady. 🙄 Now I need to let my body recover.

maybe i should slow down.
 
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
What was only supposed to be a quick stop at happy turned into a 5 hour gamefest. I love my school's pub and hope that I get in just so I can drink there.
I know I'm talking to myself, but I don't care
 
For the record... levaquin is BOSS.

I feel so much better. Oh and my boss is the coolest ever, he's like yeah take the rest of the week. Come back in ready to work on Monday. Mwahaha. So awesome.
 
Well hello there.

I know I just caught up. It's scary.

So I printed off my AMCAS application... and today I've been fortunate enough to get a meeting with an adcom member at one of my top choices.

I'm sweating bullets.

You mean a personal one? GL!

THATS AWESOME! Congrats! Is it just to go over your potential chances for the school?

Sort of? I'm not entirely sure, I got an e-mail requesting that I go see them (based on my MCAT I think)...

I hope it's not a pre-med version of Punk'd and they tell me how horrible of an applicant I am.

Cuz that would suck.
 
They named it San Diago, which of course in German means " a whale's vagina".

and dork means whale penis.

:luck:

Mornin' all!
 
I'm gonna lose it...

When I get back from the school, I will let you guys know the down and dirty.

It's not for a few hours though... ughhh I hate waiting.

Congrats. We want all the juicy details😛
 
Okay I am going to spam while i experiment with all these little buttons at the bottom of the page. i usually post from my phone and never get to use the fancy buttons so dont mind if i do😀
 
Since it's so quiet in here, maybe I'll spam away!
 
would it be wrong if I used all the emoticons on here oh what the heck am living o the edge today😎
oh no she didnt😱
"mulzstl, are you or are you not having a conversation with yourself?"👎
"As a matter of fact I am 😛
 
THE WORST.

"Well what do you do in your spare time CodeBlu?"

"I actually live on my computer, spam SDN, eat food, rinse and repeat."

BTW sir, I haven't had the chance to tell you that your screen name/avatar is pretty epic. I'm a House fanatic...can't wait until it comes back.

Also, create a fake FB page and join our group. Wubear did that. Only rule is, you have to share your name and a picture so you're on par with the rest of us.
 
Temple secondary done! I spent time writing a genuine essay about how I really like the social mission of the program, the diversity, etc. My fee waiver was rejected 20 minutes after submitting :laugh:. Kind of ironic since I'm a disadvantaged applicant. Anyone have $75 I could "borrow"?

Next stop, submitting Brown and FSU secondaries 🙂

Nice, dude. Sorry about the fappity fap. I submitted Temple yesterday, and I'm pretty sure I'm complete now!
 
I need to get my act together and submit. My ps needs to come together like yesterday
 
I'm pretty sure there's one in St.Louis, too, but I've never been there. I hear great things about Trader Joe's.

Definitely have them throughout the midwest. They must do a good job of portraying themselves as a local operations, a la Watson's with their crappy commercials.
 
There is a trader joe's in stl. I go there for my sweet potato chips yum
