What? FCD finally got in?
Congrats dude and reprezent!

If there was a book ever published about inspiring SDN stories, I think yours should be on the back cover page.

Why not on the front cover, alongside a picture of Richard Wallace?

How about the picture on the front and the story on the back?

How about of them tossing around a DukeMed frisbee?

 

[FemalesCANTDriv]

Khaili mamnoon, Hednej! Don't worry... just wait till I get my acceptance packet and I'll post the picture of the massive beard that I grew the first time around and then the after picture of me in my Duke shirt and holding the packet 😀

How about of them tossing around a DukeMed frisbee?

I just found my frisbee again the other day...it was in my tennis bag. I remember getting a real kick out of everybody thinking it was so "pretentious" and "tostentatious." It was great how so many people got so bent about it.

2 more days... Good luck to everybody waiting.

I hope you're serious... I'd like to see it.

 

[FemalesCANTDriv]

Oh... you know I'm not joking. It'll be up within days... just waitin for that packet.

Hey, Dr. D, have you facebooked me yet???

Also, to all the M1s, hope yalls test went well today!!!

 

[ReppinThePTC]

Does anyone have the link to the SDN thread for last year's waitlist movement at Duke. I've been looking for it but I'm not the most skilled SDN websurfer?

Also, congrats to FCD, I can only hope to be hearing similar news on the 16th.

 

[Dr Durden]

Reppin, check out this link: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=263727

FCD, check your email. 🙂

M-1s, !

To those still waiting, best of !

 

[ReppinThePTC]

Thanks Dr. D your the man.

 

[FemalesCANTDriv]

FCD, check your email. 🙂

Email??? Did you send an email? I got the facebook msg, tho, if that's what you meant. And to all of the girls at Duke Med, he DOES look like his avatar 👍 So, Embellis, stop all that noise about ugly Duke boys JK

And, Reppin, thanx for the nice wishes... best of luck to you on the 16th and this summer if things don't work out right away

 

[Dr Durden]

Ha, I meant the email saying you have a new friend request.

Our now mutual facebook friend told me this week she knew someone who just got in at Duke. I thought to myself, "I only know one guy whose enthusiasm could have gotten him in this early. Could it be?"

And, Embellis, all the cool guys weren't at second look. 😎
(My apologies in advance to the future classmates who were, in fact, at Duke that weekend. You know you're cool already anyway.)

 

[diosa428]

Boo. How come no one is my facebook friend?

 

[MrBurns10]

Well, some people have standards.

I kid, I kid. You're special, and I like special.

 

[FemalesCANTDriv]

Congratulations FCD!!! Good luck to everyone else.

 

[JohnMadden]

Is there a website where future Duke students can find roommates/housing?

 

[pagemmapants]

Yes. I don't remember what it is, though. Anyone else?

 

[kirexhana]

RtotheW will send it to you sometime in june i think. that's when the big rush to find housing and roommates is.

 

[Dr Durden]

RW already sent us the link: http://medweb.duhs.duke.edu/housing/

You need the password to register though (check your PMs)

Also check out reviews of housing: http://www.duke.edu/web/medstudent/

And for more informal roommate hunting, check out the DukeMed c/o 2011 facebook club.

Hey, I didn't say they were ugly, just not that cute. 😀 Although I will admit that the guys in the facebook group are, on average, better-looking than than the guys I saw at Second Look. FCD, you're what I meant when I said we needed some cuter guys off the wait list. 😉

Man, you guys make it seem like I'm shallow or something...

Okay, so maybe I am, just a little, but I'm just one of those average-looking people who likes to look at beautiful people all the time (I mean, really, why else would I watch Grey's Anatomy?). Still, I'll be the first to admit that just because someone's not physically attractive doesn't mean they're not amazingly awesome.

 

[FemalesCANTDriv]

😱 eeeeeek!

Now this type of graphic design is impressive!

Congratulations FCD!!! Good luck to everyone else.

Thanks!!! 😍

Are you coming to Duke now???

Man, you guys make it seem like I'm shallow or something...

Sorry... I'm just giving you a hard time 😛

PS: Don't think you can butter up Dr. D and I with these makeup comments 😛

 

[FemalesCANTDriv]

I'm sooo booooooooored!!! I think we are going to have to start a Duke Part III thread once tomorrow rolls around.

 

[cherrie]

I'm sooo booooooooored!!!

no kidding, there's no action going on here at all. I'm trying to avoid writing my last paper and you're not helping at all.

 

[Dr Durden]

This is just the calm before the storm.....

 

[mlle3000]

I'm sooo booooooooored!!! I think we are going to have to start a Duke Part III thread once tomorrow rolls around.

yeah, but how lucky are you going to be tomorrow to not be a bag of nerves? you're just bored b/c your adrenaline rush already happened! 🙂

PS...i'm bored too

 

[Mastac741]

I read on this thread that Duke will tell you if you're on the top of the waitlist or on the bottom of the waitlist. Is this true? Can I just e-mail them?

[The Doctor]

Hey guys,

I got a call earlier today and got in off of the waitlist. I'm very excited because I really love Duke. Best of luck to everybody tomorrow. I'm trying to decide between UNC (in-state) and Duke now. The price difference is enormous, so we will see with financial aid soon. I did have one question though... I knew that we could only claim one acceptance past May 15th. Up until this point it didn't matter because I only had the one acceptance, but does this rule apply to me as well since it is not yet midnight on the 15th and I found out today? Surely I'm not supposed to make a decision in 12 hours, especially since I don't have a letter in hand yet? I think I have two weeks to let Duke know something.

 

[pagemmapants]

Hey The Doctor - I had the same decision (plus UNC scholarship which meant even BIGGER price difference) and in the end I couldn't give up my dream school. PM me if you want more info about how I made the decision, etc. 🙂 If not, good luck! Also I think you have 2 weeks from the "acceptance from the waitlist" in order to make a decision.

 

[EmbellisMaVie]

PS: Don't think you can butter up Dr. D and I with these makeup comments 😛

Certainly not. I plan to do that with food. 😀

Congratulations, seriously.

However, does this make anybody else's heart just ache: to know that people are already getting calls? I'm not kidding. I honestly get that feeling inside like when you are REALLY hungry and then your stomach cramps or something.

sigh.

yep.

 

[focused1216]

Good luck to everyone still waiting tomorrow. Congrats to the two that have already received the golden call. Going to be an anxiety filled day tomorrow...

 

[FemalesCANTDriv]

Congrats, The Doctor.

Ryandote, thanks for digging that old list up... I'm rootin for ya!!! Good luck tomorrow and in the weeks to come (if tomorrow doesn't work out). Sorry about the boredom comment... I guess the boredom is a good problem to have... so I'll shut up about it.

GOOD LUCK YALL!!!

 

[Rocky6]

around what east coast time did the first calls usually come on may 16th?

early afternoon

 

[Dr Durden]

Certainly not. I plan to do that with food. 😀

I like your style. 👍

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

 

[wcliffa]

Hey everyone,

I just received an e-mail telling me that the scholarship committee at UAB is offering me a pretty decent scholarship. Sadly, however, I cannot enjoy the news because I long to hear something positive from Duke.

Congrats to everyone!!!! You must be the bees knees!!

 

[wcliffa]

Ryan,

I am 34 and an attorney. I have been dreaming about Duke at night and am getting more anxious than I would before a panel of supreme court judges.

wcliffa, good luck to you! Don't stress too much... I remember the first time around, I gave myself headaches for a week. Just try to stay busy... hopefully that will help. Good luck again!
