Yup, I'm wondering why Stanford has yet to offer her an interview. It's not like she embodies their mission 1000% or anything.

All I can say is 😳 You guys are ridiculously amazing I can't even fathom it 🙂

Wow. That is so inspiring, and yes, I did tear up 🙂 Thanks for sharing, what a story, what a girl and dman, what a coach!

I'm predicting movement from Columbia and UCSF.

It was a mistake not inviting you earlier! Lol, I was just driving around a fictional LA in GTA San Andreas It's definitely not like being chauffeured by the one and only @hellanutella, but it's the closest I can get to Cali at this point

You will totally rock this interview!! Believe in yourself!!!

Oh my gosh. It is beautiful and amazing and wonderful here. I am in love with Los Angeles!! I can't wait to see the school tomorrow!!

Also, @hellanutella is SO nice and I am so so so glad I had the chance to meet her!!!! We ate delicious crepes and walked around Santa Monica and it was lovely (except I almost got killed by a palm tree...).

I feel so grateful and lucky to be here! @Cyberdyne 101, you're going to absolutely love California when you come here for med school!!

I knew you'd love it!!! Los Angeles is easily the most beautiful place I've ever visited!

I'm going to frame the bolded part 😀 Thank you!!!

Awww shucks 😳 The 3 year PhD-to-MD program at Columbia was super attractive when I started looking into programs. And I would love to visit San Francisco again 😀

They see in you what we do 🙂 Kick some interview butt!

+1!!! End this one with a BANG @sunflower18!

Me too me too me too!!!! I'm half convinced that my invite was a mistake and they're going to turn me away on Monday morning when I show up, haha!

Stop that talk right now, young missy 😛 You were invited because you are AMZAING, and by logical extension you will perform incredibly! I'm sooo excited for you!!!

But on the thought of having an invitation rescinded, the week after I got my Friday acceptance phone call from Mayo, I got another phone call on Thursday with caller ID saying Rochester, MN. A part of me was so scared that I was being unaccepted. But I was prepared to fight for my spot by saying, "But but but -- I have a voicemail saying I got accepted!" 😛 Luckily it turned out Dr. Romanski didn't know I got my acceptance phone call from my interviewer, lol

Awww crepes! @hellanutella seems to have a great eye for crepes 😉 (I'm referring to the "divine" ones she found at Pittsburgh)

I am so glad you are enjoying LA and I can't wait to meet @hellanutella at some second looks this year. Ooops on the palm tree, was it like the Whomping Willow? 😀

And @Cyberdyne 101 yes, Stanford or UCSF or UCLA or UCSD has a spot with your name on it, I just know it! 😉

At the Whomping Palm Tree

I'm going to frame that too!!Thanks for believing in me!!!

 

[hellanutella]

Oh my god @sunflower18, you are an actual, legitimate angel. I had a blast with you this morning and am certain that you will wow UCLA! I will cosign the fact that sunflower is just as awesome IRL (if not more awesome) as she is on SDN.

Yes, today was a very dangerous day in Santa Monica. Hahaha, the Whomping Palm! If we want to stick with alliteration, I'd brand it the "Pummeling Palm." Random fronds from the palm trees would go flying (one narrowly missed sunflower) and another landed inches away from a small child. California clearly did not want to make a good impression for Sunflower, but the Pacific looked beautiful today! I guess I'd rather take wayward palm fronds over deathly frigid temperatures and 3+ feet of snow.

@Cyberdyne 101 fingers crossed for you! I'm hoping you'll be able to call CA home within the coming years!

@researchismymiddlename ahhhh that'd be a dream! Crepes are always a must and the ones at Pitt were truly remarkable. Sunflower told me how amazing you are and I was so saddened that none of our interviews overlapped!

 

[hellanutella]

@sunflower18 The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will open in 2016.... yet another reason for you to set up shop in LA.

Omgomgomgomg I'm sold!!!!!!!! That's amazing!!!!!! And awww, you're so kind 🙂 I'm so happy to have met you!!

Yes hahaha the Whomping/Pummeling Palm almost bludgeoned both me and a little girl by flinging fronds onto the sidewalk. Whoops. Santa Monica is a hazardous place, I guess! But I can forgive it because it's so gosh darn gorgeous 🙂

Also, my UCLA host didn't interview until March and she got accepted soon thereafter. So @No Limits, @hellanutella, and anyone else who's California dreamin'... There is still hope! 🙂

 

[FFH]

Found the Xmas card for our year

How is it 70 degrees in Manhattan?!
(Makes it easier to pretend that I'm in Los Angeles).

This is clearly @sunflower18 magic!! 😀

Hogwarts taught me well 😉

You guys UCLA was wonderful. I don't want to leave California and go back to the cold and dreary and rainy gloom 🙁 but midterms are calling...

I'm with totally with you. I still haven't gotten over leaving California after a short visit. And this was years ago-lol. I'm happy UCLA lived up to its expectations! Somehow, I have this feeling that you'll be back 😉

 

[TxC]

Congrats on Penn State, @sunflower18 !

That place is pretty much the Hogwarts of med school hahaha.

I sincerely hope so... I really loved UCLA and would be so honoured to get good news!! If I get in and attend, you'll have to hang out with me when you interview 😉

Congrats on Penn State, @sunflower18 !

Thank you so much!!! Hogwarts of med school sounds awfully appealing... 😍

I don't know RIMMNs story. I feel left out :/

But I still think she's awesome!

 

[sunflower18]

I don't know RIMMNs story. I feel left out :/

But I still think she's awesome!

Among other amazing things.... She just turned 20 and is graduating with a PhD in the spring. But more than being brilliant, she's incredibly kind hearted and a genuinely wonderful human being 🙂

 

[ridethecliche]

Well I had that part figured out. 😛

 

[hellanutella]

ALL AROUND HUGE SHOUT-OUT TO @ProbablyAPenguin ON EMORY!

Remember months ago when Penguin insisted she was "no good at interviewing?" We all know Penguin is awesome and flawless, but I do believe she was incorrect on that one. 😉

 

[miamiheatfan]

This thread goes really fast and I need to catch up on everything but congrats to everyone going everywhere!!

Hahaha awww thanks you are so sweet! (And scarily up to date on everyone's acceptances)

Although I promise to live up to my irl awkwardness whenever I meet any of you! As far as interviews go... Maybe adcoms like awkward people who smile too much?

 

[researchismymiddlename]

Awww!!! You're so sweet 😀 Maybe if *one day* I get to visit Boston 😉

😳 Awww shucks I just wanna hug you! And I am so happy you LOVED UCLA!!

Wait... not that I stalk anybody's profiles or anything... but if @researchismymiddlename you took your first MCAT in 2008? And you are turning 20 this year? So you took the MCAT when you were 16!?!?!

Haha if you mean 14, then I think so, yes! Crazy, right?

Not even 16... when she was 14 (if my mental math serves me correctly)!

EDIT: Whoop, Sunflower beat me to the punch.

Hmm... I was 13! 6 years ago 🙂 Fun times lol

EDIT: I didn't see the others post! 13-14, what's the difference? I didn't mean to be cocky 😳

LOL! Pummeling Palm!! 🙂 I would have LOVED to see you too! She gushed about you too 😀 And don't worry, if I have a bit of your luck I may get into Pittsburgh and Cornell and see you at second look!! 😉

 

[ridethecliche]

Such numbers. Much math. Wow!

 

[sunflower18]

Also whoa totally forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS @ProbablyAPenguin ON EMORY AHHHH so exciting!!!!!!!!!! 😀 😀 😀 i really want to meet you so I can definitively disprove your statements about your awkwardness. I'm sure you're completely lovely and wonderful 🙂

 

[ridethecliche]

Rmost , what were you taking the mcat for at 13. College placement or such?

 

[Cyberdyne 101]

Hmm... I was 13! 6 years ago 🙂 Fun times lol

Wow, that's like science fiction, although not quite, because it actually happened.
So, have you ever been recruited to a private school in Westchester by this guy? I'm sure you were 😉

 

[researchismymiddlename]

Rmost , what were you taking the mcat for at 13. College placement or such?

I was a junior in college and I had a dream of doing research and being a doctor. Honest. Some youngins want to be athletes, others artists, I just wanted to be a physician scientist, and I've never regretted the route I have taken. It's been a challenge at times but also very rewarding and I have had fun doing normal things along the way, explored tons of other things outside of school, and just had a blast.

 

[ridethecliche]

Haha junior in college at 13 hot damn!

I was one of the youngins who wanted to be an athlete. I told my pediatrician that when I was super young and he asked me "what are you going to do if you break your leg and have to come back and see me? You wont be able to play anymore."

Me:

idk.. become a power ranger?

Doc: On a broken leg? lol. Why a power ranger?

Me: They always save the day!!

Doc: You should become a doctor like me. I promise we save the day more than any power ranger ever could...

Me: Nuh uhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doc: He laughs then replies "Uh huh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Me: (looking at the nurse)

Thinking to myself, can you believe this guy?

Damn life is funny... *sigh* I was a silly child but you @researchismymiddlename are something else. Much respect!

 

[researchismymiddlename]

+1!! I hope you get very very good news Ace!! Sorry you have to work on Thanksgiving night, at least I only have to work the morning 😉 Hard work gets rewarded and I hope December brings you amazing news.
