IS = in state
LOI = letter of intent/interest

Does this thread remind anyone else of, "IDK, my BFF, Jill?"
 
First ever analyst therapist...

First ever analyst therapist...

Dude you are my avatar. I love that dude, and hate that the best coach ever at the bridge left him. A move to AC will be sweet.
 
I couldn't figure out for the life of me what BCMP stood for...I knew it was for science GPAs but I forgot about physics.

That and OOS

Eventually you learn the lingo around here. At first it's frustrating (OP, LOR, OOS, BCMP, EC, EMT, etc, etc), but you just have to be patient.
 
IIRC = If I recall correctly

No one got my arrested development reference ;[

I love Drogba, but I'm a chelsea fan more than a Drogba fan so I would be very sad to let him go. I was very sad that mourinho left but chelsea will recover.
 
Yeah, when I first came here I never understood OP (though I used it to fit in with the cool kids) and didn't know what 'bump' in a thread meant. Whenever I used to need to bump my own threads I would double post with some meaningless crap.
 
anyone...what is IMG?
 
my contribution:

gnr

any guesses (its not an acronym)


"gg" - said after a premed gnr receives an acceptance

"gj" - 1) response to a trollish comment (sarcastic)
2) genuine congrats between nongnrish premeds

Hahah you made my day. Why'd they have to cancel that brilliant show. One of the saddest days of my life. Truthfully I thought it started deteriorating in quality towards the middle of the third season but I like to attribute that to the fact they knew they were getting canceled. First two seasons are some of the best TV I've ever seen since seinfeld.
