Currently writing a paper on face perception... I can't even look at people the same anymore... I was eating dinner with my gf and I kept staring so she asks "why are you staring" with a goofy smile... my response was "first order relationships... characteristic T-shape of facial features." Guess I screwed that up 😛

American essays are much easier to BS, I'm going to be very very grateful to be home despite 18 hours next semester.

How's everyone else doing with school? I'm assuming you're approaching last midterms followed by finals (if on the semester system). No idea how quarter systems work.

Did your gf go to study abroad, too? And that essay sounds brutally painful...👎thumbdown I'm almost done with midterms, but I've got 3 essays to write/revise...I have 2 of my big finals on the same day right after one another 😡😡 Not to mention they are on the first day of finals...the days after classes end...WTF?

I recall something about Cystic Fibrosis.

Other than that I've completely blocked it out🙂

And the MCAT studying does eventually end....I promise. Are you taking a prep class?

I hope you did well! 🙂

Nope, I'm studying on my own.
 
1225/2000, occipital headache, time for bed. Hopefully finish it off tomorrow! If I see the word configural processing one more time I will shoot myself... guess that means I die tomorrow haha jk.

Best of luck to everyone else on their essays. I can't wait to start my second one. And third. We love whining but it's all in good fun! :laugh:

I was being sarcastic earlier haha I'm like 100 words in on my PS, I was referring to an essay which I finished today. Speaking of which, when do you use which? Every time I use which on word it wants me to use "that" instead. Weird...

Haha, okay!

I should know this as an English major...but it's 2:30AM and I have an Ecology assignment I still need to do. 😛
 
Have you guys started looking at schools you're going to apply to?

I have a list 🙂 It is quite large though....

Yeah mine's like somewhere around 50 right now, purely based off US News Compass(being a neurotic premed I bought it) and LizzyM spreadsheet. I'm sure I will eliminate a lot and tack on some(like all TX schools, idc if their OOS rates are terrible, I want that low tuition cost haha)

If you're a person who really cares about the vibe of a school, I would recommend looking at the secondary questions from this year. You can tell a lot about a school by seeing what THEY care about in a secondary question. I wish I had done that....I would have eliminated like 6 schools that I'm sure thought I was way too crunchy-granola-woo-woo.

I really care about the vibe but even looking at the secondaries I was only able to eliminate like 3....for every questionable thing I see in a school there is always something awesome. As I go down my list almost every school I look at becomes my first choice -_- Maybe I just don't know what I am looking for in a medical school yet....I just fear I won't really know until I attend interviews...

Even after interviews, I still don't know 😕

On the brighter side, I really like a lot of the schools I've been to. I think I could be happy at almost any one, which is good to know. Hopefully it'll be that way for you, too.

I think you're perfectly fine for not knowing yet. The application process will be more expensive with more schools on the list, but you should go to the interviews and choose the one that best fits you. I'm sure that'll be the best way for you. 🙂

That just means all the schools are desirable, doesn't it? Gonna be a tough choice when it comes to choosing which one to go to after acceptances:laugh:
