DUAL ACCEPTANCES @No Limits? UF and USC???

You have options in 3/4 corners of the US! Big congrats all arounds. Can't wait to see what your other interviews have in store for you!

You are seriously lightening quick when it comes to application news lol. I'm both impressed and amused. Like I said before, nothing gets passed you... EVER. I'd be very okay with you as my future physician😛

@researchismymiddlename and @Cyberdyne 101 and @claduva94 Thanks guys I appreciate that

Oh my goodness, you're making me blush. Extra cookies for you. 😳 This link is the key to my success. I like to take pride in my obsessive attention to detail.

I'd be very okay with you as my future physician.

Real talk: that's like... the nicest complement a pre-med could ever get. @onceawolverine hit it right on the head. I hope that I can live up to your expectations!
 
So so so many congrats to the wonderful and amazing @No Limits!!!! I'm so proud of you and incredibly excited to see what your future holds 🙂

Congrats to @miamiheatfan and @sonofagrignard as well!! That's wonderful news!!

And finally, welcome @Pierre Escargot! 🙂 Happy to have you aboard the 2019 train! 😀

Y'all are awesome!!!!!! Keep on being you 🙂
 
I didn't want to make a separate thread for this so I'll just post it here, but I'm sorry if this isn't relevant to that many people. Does anyone know if it's okay for me to be a part-time student next semester (my last semester) even though I put on AMCAS that I would be full time? Basically two classes that I thought I needed to take aren't actually necessary anymore. Specifically I'm asking about places that I already got accepted. Do I need to write to them to explain this or would they not care?

Funny you ask that, I have the same issue. I only need 3 more credits (1 course) for my major and am going part time next semester to do so and wanted to see if the schools I interviewed at would care in the event I got accepted.

Haha glad I'm not alone! And of course, I have to ask whether it would cause my acceptance to be reconsidered, just because I'm a neurotic premed. I highly doubt that would happen, though.

Just a few scratches on the car thankfully, but I'll swing by my GP to make sure I don't have anything serious.

I ran into the lab at like 7:25 and our lab instructor just raised his eyebrows at me, haha.

What a day.

That's seriously impressive that you made it on time. I'm so glad that you didn't get really hurt and that your car isn't totalled or anything either! That still sounds like an incredibly stressful morning though, my goodness.

I rewarded myself with a hot chocolate. I think it was justified.

Thank you so much though! Haha. My lab partner just nodded and said "alright" when I told them.

Yes!!! Great idea!! I would also definitely reward myself with a nap... Ahhh, naps are the best 🙂

What! That's not the right response! I'm sorry 🙁

Glad you're okay!!! But haha, I might have had a similar response...

"Got in a car accident on my way in today."

"Ok....so there's that...."

I try to use dry humor to lighten sad situations though...I'm optimistic like that 🙂

Wow. Seriously glad you are okay and that you know to get yourself checked up later. Let us know if you are truly okay after your GP visit.

I also got run over by a car this past Sunday. I'm fine now. Had two interviews on crutches and went out dancing on one foot. We ought to be more careful, there are a lot of people trying to kill us to take our seats away from the class of 2019...
 
Now that my interview circuit looks to be over, here's a family photo of all the interview pens. (I'm noticing a colour trend here, though the Northwestern one is purple IRL).

(On phone, so I cannot resize... sorry).

@Boolean holy crap! So glad you are okay. That's not a good start to your hump day. 🙁 Hope the hot chocolate was a good consolation for your lab partner's response. It seems like auto accidents are plaguing SDN, especially with that "two accidents in one week" thread.

I've driven about ~80 miles per day for the past 5 years, so I count myself extremely fortunate not to have totalled my car. :xf: However, the day before my first interview, my friend was driving me to pick up some friends for lunch. On the way to their place, a pickup towing a boat lost control and rammed into the back of our car, essentially accordion-ing the trunk and rear seats. So glad we didn't have any passengers, because that would have been ugly. My friend got a concussion (she's okay, though) and I got a very impressive goose egg on my forehead. I had to do some creative hairstyling for my interview and was struggling with whiplash for the following week. However, the story made for a good icebreaker and I ended up getting accepted to that school, so I suppose everything's cool.

Needless to say, I'm ready to go to a school where I can minimize my commute time (or where I won't need a car at all). -___-
 
Yay for the UCF pens! (I have like thirty of them... long story)

Sinai?! - Jealous! Where is your top pick right now (if you have one / are willing to share)?

Hahaha, excellent pen surplus!

Thank you! Oooh... that's a hard one. Out of my current acceptances I'm down to UCSD and Mount Sinai – and there's no clear winner, because I loved both equally. I think financial aid may be the tiebreaker, though they are remarkably close in price for a state vs. private school. I'm hoping second look will make the choice for me.

In a perfect world where I was accepted at all my interviews, I think UCSF would be the winner for personal reasons, as it's basically the only city where I have a strong support network. We'll see. My emotions have been all over the place regarding the schools I interviewed at, with certain ones tugging at my heartstrings and whatnot. It's a good place to be, but oh gosh the feelings. I wish we didn't have to pick just one school. I could ramble for hours about all this.

/endramble

Have you applied this cycle or are you prepping for down the road?

You absolutely didn't! I'm not surprised at all -- you're an amazing applicant 🙂 did they tell you how much the scholarship was for? Or are they all the same? Gosh I'm just so excited for you 🙂

Ahhhh yall are so supportive this makes me even more happy 🙂 yes they did say the scholarship amount - about 50 percent of tuition and living expenses per year if I heard them correctly (which I might not have I was so excited)

So one of my top top choices has started to make the call since last Friday evening. If I have an Okcupid profile, it'll say "on a typical Friday evening, I am....phone-staring at a quiet place with perfect reception."

Today I went to a meditation garden in LA. There was a labyrinth. After you walk the path and think of your wish, you can make the wish at the center. I hope it works!

Thanks for the concern No limits! Congrats on your recent double shot!! As Nutella said, you've got some amazing options!

Like the Boolean, I somehow magically walk away without major injury. So premed 2; world's attempt to kill us: 0

Funny the dog that I was walking (I do free dog care in my neighborhood) had more psychological trauma than I did. So much lights and sirens and people in uniforms really put a lot of strain on his fragile nerve. He loves me to the bone and turned super protective of me. It was problematic for the EMT to approach. The dog had to ride in the ambulance on my stretcher because he could not be separated from me. Everyone was super touched by his loyalty and I was super proud and sad and happy all at once.

My foot needs to sit tight in a airboot for about a month, but that's it. I love a good night out, dress up and go dance. Cann't let some small boo boo stops me. 😛

@ProbablyAPenguin OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! UVA and Pritzker?!?!? :clap: Telling of the sorts of decisions you'll have to make in April!!

And @No Limits, you drew me to @womanofscience's amazing successes this cycle! Miami, UV (happy for you both and your BF! 😍), EVMS and M-COW (we Iowans tease the school in the midst of dairyland 😛)! Congratulations x1000000!!! :clap:

So many new members and acceptances! Congratulations to all of you!!!

@hellanutella you're so cute with the pen family lol 🙂 And OMG I drive 80 mph on highways all the time. I was hoping I didn't scare @sunflower18 with that when she visited me 😀 I hope you keep @sunflower18 safe when she visits LA which I am super super excited to hear about 😉 And I'm the exact opposite, I hope I get to keep my car in med school 😀 Lots of points to Rochester, MN for that!

@FriendlyFH you're really something special 😍 Love the story about the doggie, that's so sweet

@Boolean, omg I can only imagine what a morning you've had. So glad you're ok!!! Driving can really suck.

I can honestly say I think I have you guys and your preferences down to a T. Must be psychic nature or something because it certainly ain't obvious from the forums (detect heavy sarcasm)...
@sunflower18 --> naps and Star Wars 😉
@No Limits --> cookies
@Cyberdyne 101 --> ice cream and TS
@FriendlyFH --> your little best friends
@hellanutella --> nutella (I have NO idea how I figured this one out 😛) and amazing food in general (I'm still waiting for the chance to try those Pittsburgh crepes 😀)
@ridethecliche --> working hard 😉
@BengaliBrat --> philosophy
@researchismymiddlename --> ... research???

If you aren't on the list, my psychic powers have probably not touched your mysterious existence... that includes you @claduva94, @spockprime, @womanofscience, @ProbablyAPenguin and a host of others 😀

Hahaha!!! You're great!! Nope your driving didn't scare me one bit 🙂

I would argue (with the support of @claduva94) that my things are naps and Harry Potter 😉 Star Wars is pretty high up there though!!!

I'm pretty sure that @claduva94 is really into snow and Fourier transforms..... 😉 😉 😉
