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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I am very concerned for you. Hopefully you're brain doesn't explode from information overload. But I do have to say that the big news was a little bit of a let down. I was hoping for some crazy SDN scandal. Not sure what that would be?

Most of our scandals are handled in our FB group =P
 
So when is everybody here taking mcat? Or rather when dis everybody take it?

Thanks for you're concern. Your right my brain may indeed explode after this week. Good think my spring break begins Friday. 😎
 
I had tto switch mine BC of how close it was and figuring out I did little studying in Feb.

Noo, you left me to fight this alone? lol it's okay. If I find a 04/13 date I might take it, because I could use the extra week. But I also would like it to be over with before my Spring quarter... I think I'll just tough it out.😎
 
I've been crushin on this chick for a lonnggg time and tried multiple times asking her out....never worked. Always seemed like she made excuses.

Talked to her today and found out she had boyfriend....:boom:

Darn, she should have told you when you first tried. Lame. Well, now you can let her go and cruise on off to better things [=

What your strength/weaknesses are?
I don't really know what the criteria for these kinds of meetings are, but I bet you're lucky to get to have this kind of meeting so make good use of it!

Yeah, I'm really excited. I'm doing my MS at a medical school, so I have a fair amount of resources.

My GPA is extremely low because of my first 2 years, which pulls my cGPA just below a 3.0. I have a few factors that contributed to the bad start, but its mostly because of immaturity. My grad GPA is much better (3.9). I'm hoping that if he gets a good impression it might get me viewed with human eyes. MCAT is above average, and volunteer experience is exceptional (several organizations, all with leadership).

I'm just really hoping I hit it off with him 😛
 
I am so ready to be done with the application season, and it has not even started. :cry::cry::cry:

Yea I'm choosing my classes for next semester depending on how much time ill have just worrying and biting my nails. I'm probably gonna be one very PMS-type pissed off btich
 
Hey guys, I hope everyone's semester is going well. For the last month or so, I've been debating whether or not to take a gap year (I'm leaning about 90% toward taking one at the moment). If any of you wanted to check out my "chance me" thread and give some tips, I'd definitely appreciate it 😛

Dude, awesome job on your MCAT! That's an insane score! Just from MCAT and GPA alone you look golden 👍👍

I decided to take a year off last year and don't regret it at all. 👍
 
I received my LOR from a M.D via interfolio. One down 2 more to go 🙂 - now waiting for my chem and bio professors to finish up theirs. I can't for the life of me find a non-science prof.. hopefully most schools don't require this.

I am still waiting on 4...=( haha. "I'll have it done in 2 weeks!" apparently means I'll get it done in 2 months! 😀 Also another Professor(in Feb.): "When do you need it by?" Me: "Well I am applying June 1st so - " Professor cuts me off: "OK June 1st it is!" At least I know he is good for it since he is my faculty mentor and is pretty good about deadlines.

I don't know how but I am in the opposite camp, I have a pre-med advisor letter, a non-science, and my lab mentor.

However, I have no Idea who to ask to for my science letters even though I am a cell bio major lol.

Good to hear! What are you planning on doing next year in your time off, may I ask?
 
I'm also taking a year off because I decided to be pre-med my senior year. I'm still not sure what I'll be doing.
 
Hey, My 2017 peeps!!!! 😀I know it has been a while since I have been up here, but I have been working really hard and keeping the firing going. I hope all has been well and you all are prepared for a prosperous cycle for us all. :xf::luck::xf:
 
Anyone have a rough estimation of the timeline of a typical publication?
I'll be submitting a manuscript in the near future and was hoping to see my work in print by the time interviews begin next year.

Lastly, is listing a submitted manuscript on the AMCAS worth anything? :/

Good luck with finals everyone! Finish strong. 🙂
