not even close
 
Oh yeah, I'll definitely be calling it a graphic novel, but I'll probably read a decent graphic novel first or use one of the really great recent ones I've read. Like "I Kill Giants" OMG you guys have to read that if you get the chance, its so good (and sad too 🙁 )
I've been meaning to get that Henrietta book. The admissions lady from Mizzou suggested that to me with some other things that I'm now remembering that she told me i should read. but since I'm planning submitting USC tonight I'll just have to leave that up for the interview
I Kill Giants is reasonably priced on Amazon. I think I'll buy it once my recent return is refunded.

Um, hi. I are bad poster. Forgive me? I <3 you guys.
I've been a pretty bad poster, too.
Nobody can be a great poster each and every day. We all carry our share of slack.

OMG get it, you definitely won't regret it.

And do you happen to follow comic books / graphic novels? It'd be nice to have someone else here who's into that besides me.

I've only read a handful of them unfortunately. I never had access to them growing up (not even superhero ones) so the first one I read was Maus in high school. My old roommates have gotten me hooked on a couple manga's, if that counts for anything :laugh:

I need to make a list of things to do before I enter medical school (hoping I get in :xf:). It would be analogous to a bucket list, but the list just needs to be completed before my chances at free time wither away.
 
Well, here I am. Alive and well. Went out for dinner with a few friends that are med students here in the city. Stopped for CPK and some beer.

Interview was... um... INTENSE. My student interview was pretty standard, laid back, hit all my application points and fit for the school.

My faculty interview was a bit unorthodox... he saw my publication and well... let's just say I got put on the spot HARD.


Wow. Hope that was a good thing?

My faculty interviewer was on his computer, and he threw me a journal article thing from WebMD... and asked me to summarize it for him.

His questions were...
-What kind of statistics did they do?
-What analysis would you have done?
-What did you think they could have changed?

If I do not get into med school, I think I want to be a biostatistician.

Dang. He must really like research.

I could answer that question in a jiffy (taking stats right now 😛)

Wow, he either didn't like you, wanted to know if you can understand a journal, or was just trying to see how you can handle things under pressure.

He said something along the lines of... "I hope you accept the offer of admission that I'm going to strongly recommend we send you" after I finished interviewing.

wow! I feel so blessed to be in your presence! 😍
 
I need to get to 2000 posts. I'm nothing without 2000 posts.
 
On another note:

Meeting people who do not go on SDN at my interview days were very friendly and I had a great time people from around the U.S. Good luck to those folks as well!
 
so in an effort to get a letter writer who has yet to contact me on anything (in which i just placed all my materials in her mailbox and hoped for the best) I have decided to apply to her lab. She's a neurologist so her research is on disorders of perception and cool things like that. We'll see how that goes.
