Class of 2017!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Buahahaha my summer fellowship IS really sexy. It's so crazy: you get to list your top three choices of departments (within community health research, clinical, translational, basic science--anything) and the admissions committee matches you with a preceptor within one of those departments. So you're conducting research with a department you chose, get to go on emergency medicine rotations, listen and present in evening presentations, AND take an abbreviated first-year anatomy course, complete with cadaver dissection. It's insane. I'm honestly so excited to go, and really humbled: the EAP acceptees work side-by-side with SURF (Summer Undergraduate Research Fellows) students for a lot of the stuff, and that program is crazy awesome. You basically get to be a mini med student for 8 weeks, and they pay you well and give you free housing. I mean, it's my dream fellowship 😱

YESSSS it has two student-run clinics called UR Well (hahaha very punny) that really let med students get pretty hands-on very early on. What's awesome about this school is that you start your Primary Care Clerkship your first year, and start clinical classes your first semester. I am SO doing UR Well as soon as I can get my hands on it, it's a clinic for the uninsured, and med students get access to it pretty much as soon as they start.

And yeah, my poetry teacher is being a horrible person. I might as well have written my poem in Chinese, for all he got out of it. I mean, even if it's bad, how could you be confused about EVERY SINGLE line. He literally put "I don't understand this" or "What do you mean by this?" next to every line of my poem. The odd thing is that I spelled it out for him the mandatory writing process reflection we're supposed to attach to the poem itself, where he requests that we spell it out for him. I'm confused as to how he could be that confused about my poem...

👍👍 Looks like you have a lot to look forward to! Sounds very exciting!🙂🙂
 
You know...writing essays isn't too bad, but revising is the worst 😡
 
I'm doing my Physics homework. Well... I'm actually obviously not doing it if I'm here. Blehhhhhhh.

I'm studying abroad in london this semester and things are a bit hectic because I never know exactly what to study. Even the MCAT had a topic list lol.

How is everyone doing with school?

Yeah I have some crazy people in my house(I live off campus) who party 3-5 days a week and alcohol(unlike everything else) is somewhat cheap here, but I have to keep my intake down because going to 2-3 hr lectures hungover is definitely undesirable haha.
 
Anybody care to give a synopsis of the last 293 pages? Holy cow y'all are fast! Off SDN for a few months but for a quick check and BAM co 2017 brings it!
Good luck to all!
Will be buried in OChem and Bio all weekend. Midterms Monday and Tuesday.

We're just that awesome 😉 That was me all last year 🙁 Orgo exams after bio exams or vise versa. Good luck on your exams! :luck:
 
That good?

YES!!! It also helps that I met lovely people.

I have a Physics midterm Monday...

In other news, I went to a concert yesterday and now I'm dead. I hope I don't fall asleep in PChem :s
 
I'm actually killing it in Orgo! Love it so much more than Gen Chem. Guess we will see if I have that same attitude after Monday! Trying to plan my MCAT date for next year. Too much to fit in!

Pchem must make the physics class seem like cake, lol. I'd totally go study abroad if I had the money.

Orgo was probably one of my favorite courses so far, whereas my bio labs have been the leadt favorite courses EVER! Good luck with the orgo studying! Do lots of problems!

Orgo is boss 😀

My tests ended up going well last week:

Physics II - 95
Microbio - 92
Pathogenic bacteriology - 100

Can't complain with that! Also, I officially registered for the 1/28/12 MCAT last night. Anyone else taking it that day?

Very possible depending on how well I do this semester abroad. A 30 isn't terrible but I know I can do better. However, assuming I can bring my grades up then my chances at a decent mid tier should still be intact, hopefully 😳
 
I hate when I can't figure out a problem or when I get it wrong for silly mistakes. I'll look back at it and go :bang:

I wish I was as good in Physics as you are. 🙁

Haha nah, it was a pretty easy test. Class average was a 76. Kinda wish it would have been harder, to be honest. This next test will bring me back to reality, though :scared:

Wow, that's a pretty high test average 😱 Good luck! :luck:
 
So, my boyfriend and I got back together again. Yay! 😀

I took a Princeton Review diagnostic MCAT test on Saturday. Let's just say the PS section kicked my butt. 😳

Glad you guys resolved whatever issues you had. 👍
 
Is this really necessary

Seeing all these acceptances makes me nervous for next year!

With your stats, I really don't think you have anything to worry about.

Anyway, I'm worried because I'm only going to start clinical volunteering this November and I'm not sure if that'll be enough. It sucks that I decided to be a doctor my senior year - I'm rushing through everything.
