Holy cow, nice MDApps.

I read your MDApps after I saw this and - omg, it's very detailed. I am sure it would be of immense help to future applicants, thanks for taking the time to write it all out! 🙂

Thanks! I had a lot of help from a friend who applied last year. I figured it'd be good karma to pay it forward. That, and I may or may not have way too much free time on my hands. :laugh:

It's... beautiful. I don't want to stare directly at it or I might go blind.
 
Celebrating my birthday by doing a lab report...le sigh.

Happy birthday!! :hardy: Sorry about the lab report..
Also, I haven't been in this thread for a looong time. Hello again to all you lovely spammers. :hello:

And how are you still in classes? I don't think I've seen an undergrad around here since sometime last week. Your school must be extra sadistic.

Thank you! 😀 And word. We started a week later in August, and don't officially get out until the 21st. Though, we're off until the 17th, so that ain't TOO bad. I think everyone in here is just busy with finals though 🙁 I myself haven't posted in a few weeks.
 
Today has been such a bad day 🙁

🙁

If you lived nearby, I would tell you to come over to our party tonight so we could cheer you up. I would share my Woodchuck Hard Cider and delicious corn chips 'n salsa. Oh, and we're gonna watch cartoons. I hope you have a better tomorrow.

Awww, thank you - you are so sweet 😍 I did something similar - I hung out with my friend who made late lunch and we had lots of red wine :laugh:

And yes, I feel much better today - I have a graduation to go after work so the day should get even better 🙂
 
Hmm, I just tried Guinness for the first time today... not bad. 👍

Mmm...Guinness.

How are you 2016ers holding up? SteveJMarist asked me how the pain of finishing up a term compares to the pain of waiting--I said that "pre-meds do not yet know the meaning of suffering." 😉 If anyone's still waiting on decisions, do still try to enjoy the holidays, k?

Hey, at least you have the luxury of knowing your suffering is not in vain.. Grass is always greener, eh?

Well, I'd be careful not to take anything for granted. Nothing's guaranteed--there's still passing classes, residency apps, job interviews... don't underestimate any of that. The stakes are progressively higher at each phase given the amount you invest.

I wish I was 21 again and could consume much more alcohol and not suffer like I did this morning. 🙁

Agreed.

The stakes are higher, yes, and I imagine that the effort invested is as well, but it also remains true that, statistically, your odds of success increase after each successive hurdle. It's just always seemed that more people are qualified to pursue medical studies than will ever be admitted, and almost invariably I hear "if you can get into med school, you can get through med school."

tigergramma!!!!!! 😍

i was at a birthday party last night where the host explained his favorite vodka was ciroc because he had never experienced a hangover before on it. i then tested the hypothesis with many, many ciroc drinks and i have to say today that i concur.

one step at a time...so many hoops, so many years...

My point was simply that no, I don't /know/ that my efforts will not be in vain, as you originally replied. A statistical likelihood isn't a certainty.

Anyway, my goal wasn't to trivialize anyone's experiences but just to offer some perspective to help get through what I know is a grueling process (through the use of a Futurama quote).
 
hope it was a good birthday! 🙂

I wish. I celebrated by taking Nyquil shots. The stress of finals and med school got to me, and my immune system crashed. Ended up getting the flu yesterday around 5, and spent most of my birthday sneezing and in bed. Now I'm furiously trying to finish a lab report thats two days late and am prepping a presentation for tomorrow while my sinuses are killing me.

Happy birthday to phnerd 🙁
