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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
SFO we meet again.. Oh how I feel like I know this place better than back of my hand.
 
We just did some get to know you and other stuff
That continues tomorrow and Friday
White Coat is Sunday
 
Rant. . .

So, I recently got off the wait list at my top choice 🙂soexcited🙂, and I withdrew from the school I was going to attend the same day. I got an email today (almost 2 weeks later) from my school saying that AMCAS still shows that I'm holding multiple acceptances, and that if I don't notify the other school by Friday, they are going to give up my spot:scared: I reached out to the other school again, but they are being kind of non-responsive. . . I'm sure it will all be fine, but it is freaking me out!

Also, I think that I'm the only remaining 2017er still employed. . . 10 more days.

End Rant.

Congrats!
 
Our white coat ceremony is in 2 years.

I think that this is how it was traditionally done to kick off the "clinical years" of med school, but since schools are selling "early clinical integration", most are moving it up. Mine is on the very first day of orientation, which I find to be really odd.

Congrats!

Thanks! 😀

Of course, I now start school a week earlier and have to move across the country and find an apartment, but I'm still super stoked!
 
So what should I be buying in terms of helpful books? I heard this Netter's whatever thing is a must have?

I don't even med school, guys.

2016ers posted on my school's FB page some Gross Anatomy book recommendations:

- Netter Atlas on the iPad
- Rohen is recommended if you prefer to have professionally dissected cadaver photos (this would be in place of Netter)
- Atlas of body sections (Ellis, Logan and Dixon)

I really wish the print version of Netters came with electronic access. It doesn't seem that unreasonable to me. Those two things both cost $80.

I can vouch for Rohen. The pictures are so legit.

Thats cool! We start Monday, white coat in two weeks. I took my ID picture for the hospital today. It was weird seeing my picture and name along with the title "medical student" soooo weird!
 
So drunk. Like 8 pints/ three mixed doubles drunk. The lab wanted to say goodbye drunk. Thank goodness I only spent a total of $4 and I am like wobbly drunk ready to pass out.

Thank god for autocorrect, I think.

My liver hurts just reading this. May your hangover last less than 24 hours. :luck:

That is a pretty awesome good bye! Hopefully they threw in a pizza for recovery.

If anyone needs a summer book recommendation, Paul Offit's Do You Believe in Magic?: The Sense and Nonsense of Alternative Medicine is a good read.
 
Actually woke up not hungover and am heading to Seattle to get my keys.

I chugged like 1.5 liters of water before going to bed. Almost threw it up I was so full but made it to bed and passed out.

Woke up at 6 and felt great!
 
What do you do if you're a complete slob and your roommate's a complete neat-freak?
