My list is at 26 and I think I pretty set on it now ... Have about 10 super reaches so that accounts for the high number. :laugh:



Someone read my PS and he said you don't talk about "Why you would make a GOOD physician" ... So yeah ... I don't really talk about it. At this point ... I don't really want to change my PS too much anymore so we'll see how I can change it.



I put 0 for the two scholarships I got and 2 hours (the actual poster presentation length) for my posters. I think Adcoms should be smart enough to figure it out ... haha

Also, I put all 6 of the doctors I shadowed onto one activity ... I was really basic like Name, Type of Doctor, Email, Hours. No descriptions at all ...



NOT WITH THAT ATITUDE! 😡



How about Rush? It's more in the city isn't it?

I'm applying to 4 of the Chicago schools (Chicago, NW, Loyola, Rush) ... And I think 5 in NY (Columbia, Sinai, NYU, NYMED, Einstein). 9 out 26 of my list in two cities alone. GG on my wallet flying from Seattle if I get more than one interview. :scared:



Agreed. I just decided to take out UI today. It's in a nice place but man ... do not want to pay that much if it happens to be the only school I get in to...

Great... spam first to get top and THEN use multiquote. :nono::nono:
 
Well, that's all the :spam: I could do now. I don't want my daily post average to be too high.

Rush is in the city, yes. It's right off one of the major expressways leading into the heart of the city (on the western side), though not quite in the very midst of the city as NW (NW is right on the magnificent mile, no joke). Still more in the heart of the city than UC, though.

Before I got my MCAT score back, I totally was up for all med schools in the city--but don't have the stats to apply to all the NY ones (much less NW, sigh). I definitely want a city feel for med school, if possible, though.

Same here, I'd love to go to a big city for the next 4 years.

U Florida is also good, but I think it's in-state friendly (though not as bad as FSU)

FSU is ridiculous. I wonder what the 1 dude who got accepted there from OOS did to be so special.

I also would prefer a big city type school too. I just hope my MCAT score is up to par. Which reminds me, today is nothing but problems day (when I just do my EK 1001/101 problems). As well as a reminder that PS sucks and should be burned at the stake for its transgressions against potential students

As far as florida schools go, I believe Miami and FIU are the only ones OOS friendly.

In other news I've finished writing essays for 2 school secondaries. At least 12 more to go!!!

Good luck!! PS needs to DIAF for real; I got a 7 the first time and had to work my butt off the second time for a 10, whereas I hardly practiced at all and still managed an 11 and 12 on verbal...

It sucks that most big city schools have a 35 MCAT average; there's no way I would've ever done well enough on PS to get a 35. :[
 
Secondary essays written for 5 schools. My brain is beginning to collapse

This morning I came to the acknowledgement of just how terrible it would be if I didn't get accepted this year.

Upping my school list to like 17-20 now.

You'll get in to at least one! Don't worry!!! 👍

Hmmm ... T'was would be nice to live there. You could always try though! Those top schools are always a crapshoot anyways!

Stay strong! 🙂

Just some advice, doing lots and lots of problems is the way to go. I'm not much of a problem person and did a lot of content memorization. I got a good score, but I sorta regret not doing more problems.

/EDIT

well ... what do you know. Top again. 😎

Schools like good VR scores though. And 10 in PS is not bad at all!

Why did the weather suddenly get wonderful right when I'm beginning to shut myself off from the world for my MCAT studies?

It's not fair :cry:

So I tried to add more schools and somehow ended up back at 14 after looking at instate preference for some schools (acceptance for OOS <1%). Gah glad I did that. Ended up replacing instead of adding.

That sucks, Silent. 🙁 I'm so paranoid that my score won't be up to par that I'm going to start studying for a potential July 13 retake...just in case. 😳 That gives me 6 weeks from now and 3.5 weeks from when I find out my score to study for a retake. I bought the Cracking the MCAT text by TPR, which includes 4 online practice tests, so this should be fun. 👎rolleyes:

My best friends don't care about sports ... 🙁

I feel like the Spurs have a good chance of winning the title whoever they face though. Well rested and confident.
 
Just finished up everything for primary! Ready to submit on the 4th. Is it bad that I am already getting restless for the application cycle to be over 😳😳. This is going to be a LONG year :scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared:

I definitely pick the Spurs to win the Finals. They're playing amazingly.

Seriously. Ask much as I dislike them, I'd have to admit it.

Also, cannot wait for football season. Now that euro soccer is over and basketball is almost over ... there's the awkward two/three month break til soccer and football start again ... 😡

Football is garbage. MLS is garbage. Euro soccer is good. Basketball is good. Hockey is good. Baseball is garbage.
