I have things to do....but I don't seem to get myself away from the computer in the anticipation of who will be the next one posting. Congrats to Q on your multiple aceptances!!! This is addicting, you all future docs might be treating me sometime in the future. lol

Question: Is there anyone who's been accepted to FSU and other school and is definitel thinking of coming to FSU? Post your responses.

While I'm 99% sure I'm going to select UMiami, I'm still hanging on the my FSU acceptance in case they (for some odd reason) offer me some sort of incredible financial aid package. That being said, I'd be happy at both schools--I just happen to be in love with UM 😍

FSU has a Sarasota campus? Really? Where? How many campuses do they have?


Yeah I want to see what the FSU Sarasota campus looks like??? I thought they just do rotations there. I'm from near the area originally.

Alas, I am not the champion poster here. That would be A-man I think, but he's already in med school so he doesn't hang out in this thread much. Or maybe guju; I think she's got me beat too. Must. Catch. Up. :meanie:

Si, como no. Mr.Burns y A-man tambien hablan espanol. Y tu?


Actually , I think MUSHY has me beat with 10 thousand plus posts.

:laugh: :laugh:

happy birthday, yrodri!!!

I know I'm a day late here, but I realized I never said it yesterday, so happy birthday again!
 
What's up with the Florida thread? Anyone else getting interviews 👍 , accepted :clap: or sick? :barf: +pissed+

I think the thread is dying because people who get accepted stop posting, but don't forget that you can still meet ppl what will be in your class.

Cheers.

USF has a Sarasota campus, but I don't believe FSU does....

I think we went through phases:

1) Initial Excitement (Pre-Interview stage)
2) Anticipation (Post-Interview stage)
3) Elation (Acceptance stage)
4) Excitement (Post-accpentance/plans for next year stage)


Interspersed within those stages was all the randomness that makes me love this thread (mint M&Ms, etc). But now, its kinda of like hmm...what do we post about? Aside from Zep and Truly, there haven't been many newcomers to the thread, and the rest of us have already discussed pros/cons of all the schools.

I'm sure the thread will pick back up once fin aid packages start rolling in, and we finalize our decisions and start to get excited once again. In the meantime, I hope to see more new people post here. Its refreshing!

FSU does--its on their website. Are you sure about USF? I thought their sarasota campus was only for undergrad.

I went to college at the USF Sarasota campus. There are several programs located there, including New College (then the honors college of USF, now an independent liberal arts college), some upper-level USF undergrads (juniors and seniors; they still share the facilities w/ NC), and some graduate programs. The USF medical school is located on the Tampa campus, not in Sarasota.
 
FSU Regional Medical School Campuses

This is a link to all of FSU COM regional campuses. There isn't a link to Jacksonville or Ft. Myers because they aren't open yet. Sarasota is there, which is brand new. They just opened last year.
 
Doesn't that picture look great? (with the exception that it's pink). The coconut trees to give it a touch of Caribbean, and to top it off, it's on Cocoanut Ave!!!! Don't you love coincidences?! or is it? +pity+
 
Does anyone know how big of a cut is to get an interview at FSU. Do you know what percentage of the applicants who completed secondary are invited to interview? I know, you can tell i'm really excited about this one but I can't help it. :meanie:

Do you have a copy of the MSAR? If not, you should buy one from the AAMC. It gives all this kind of info. It looks like FSU does a huge pre-interview cut, so you can be very proud. 👍 According to the MSAR, in 2004 (last year that they gave info), there were 1054 applicants to FSU. 157 were interviewed, all of whom were state residents, to give a final class of 58. Remember that more than 58 people will be accepted, though, because some acceptees will be multiply accepted and will choose another school over FSU. So I'd say you have an excellent chance to be accepted once you make it to the interview stage. Good luck on your interview, and let us know how it goes. 🙂 I didn't apply to FSU, but the people who have gone there say their facilities are absolutely beautiful.

Ha ha, several of the streets in Sarasota have names like that: Cocoanut, Lime, Orange, etc. It's largely a retirement community, and fairly wealthy. The USF-Sarasota/New College campus has one of the Ringling mansions (Charles). (These are the same Ringlings who started the Ringling Barnum and Bailey circus!). I took some classes in there, and it is a pretty awesome building, with frescoes and all kinds of bizarre old rooms. If you've been to the art museum in Sarasota, that's another Ringling brother's mansion (John).
 
One time, I was at a high school soccer tournament in Sarasota and I went to eat at the mall with a couple of my teammates and Jerry Springer sat at the table next to us. He was actually very civilized...he didn't once throw his chair! But maybe that's just because he was sitting in a booth and didn't have the energy. I ended up getting his autograph on a napkin because one of my teammates just couldn't walk out of there without asking for one, so I figured "why the hell not." So chalk that up as another point for Sarasota: Jerry Springer lives there.

Take care of yourself...and each other.
 
Bump.

Come on people, we were falling to the bottom of the very first page there, we can do better than that.

:laugh:
 
I posted this in the class forum, but thought maybe you nice folks would know the answer. Is USF's class full? Are the rest of the interviews for waitlist slots? Thanks!
 
holy crap, you kids are growing so fast! happy birthday!

P.S. why don't I get the memos about when people's birthdays are until after they're announced?

P.P.S. that reminds me of this one time when I convinced a friend of mine that the federal government every year sends me e-mail reminders the day before my birthday reminding me that the following day is my birthday. This got started because I'm strangely really good with dates so I remember everyone's birthdays (e.g. my first grade teacher's) and she was wondering how I did it. I then added the bit about getting reminders about my own birthday. I had never realized I was so convincing...
 
Happy Birthday RunnerMD!!! 🙂
 
Thanks guys!

Burnsie: I knew about Yrodi's bday from Myspace (I'm guessing that's how he knew about mine too). You need to get on! I know I know, its sooooooooo silly! I swore I would never get involved with it, but once you get on, you're hooked!

But none of my friends are on it...I'd look like a total loser. Which I already manage to do, but then I wouldn't even look like I have loser friends! I am on facebook though...sort of. Whenever someone requests to be my friend.

Not many of my friends are on also, so I look like a loser too! I want to get on facebook, but stupid USF deleted my e-mail after I graduated so I have no school e-mail address! GRR!!! If you ever decide to get on MySpace though, you will have Yrodi, Kleintje, and myself to be your friends!
 
While we are on the topic of Facebook, I read an article in our USF Newspaper that said Potential Employers have started looking at people's facebook profiles to investigate people. So if you have such a profile, I'd either put restrictions on it or be careful what you put on there.

I don't have anything harmful on mine, but the thought is scary. I'm curious how they'd get on there if they don't have a college email address though.

Yeah--I've heard/read similar things. Actually, last year I freaked out about adcoms and my yahoo photos--not that there's anything bad, but there were pics of me goofing off with friends (I know, I'm so paranoid!). Basically, I make sure to keep my profiles pretty tame and if anyone were to put an inappropriate comment I'd delete it (1) just for my sake--I don't want that sort of thing on my page, and (2) in case a potential employer/interviewer viewed it.
 
I had heard that about adcoms too, but really, how could they access my facebook profile if they're not from my school? I was a little worried about that at first, but then I figured that even if they were able to look at my profile that they would have much better things to do. That said, I'm a goofy person with a sarcastic and sometimes (okay, often) "inappropriate" sense of humor, so I wouldn't exactly want to SHOW my profile to them...

Personally, I wouldn't think it would be particularly fair if employers/adcoms actually did look at these things, but what can ya do?
 
Really? Wow, hopefully they don't check out my two profiles, lol....

Ok--time for a totally non-medically related, non-FL post.

Ooooooooooh my gosh! I am so bored at work. And now, the IT dept is blocking most blogs. Does nyone know a way to get around these filters? I've tried googling phrases like "how to bypass office filters" (not in " ") but most of those site are blocked too! (Why SDN constitutes as a legitimate site is beyond me, but I'm not complaining).

Are any of you computer nerds that can help me out? I read something about a proxy but it seemed complicated.
 
MrBurns10 said:
Whoa whoa whoa, what makes you think you can do that? there are rules to these sorts of things, you know.


The Burnsie official guide to rules and regulation of the Fl thread says that only she and unfrozen can post non Fl school related posts. muawahahahahahahaha (smirks evil laugh) 😀 :meanie: :meanie: :meanie:
 
Anyone else "waitlisted" at Florida post-interview? Are they going to accept waitlists on a rolling basis or at the end?

Excuse me. I don't think so. Don't forget that *I* am the thread matriarch here. 😉 RunnerMD, you have permission to hijack away, but you must post things that are more interesting than office filters. I know you can do better than that. 😉

A few of us have been accepted and a few of us waitlisted. Personally, I am waitlisted... I think that they dont do too many acceptances off the waitlist until march/may? not too sure..

Haha--Yeah, when she did didn't mention you Q, I was like wait--Q is totally a prominent person in this thread! Why'd she get left out?!?!

But back to the office filters--I know its not the most entertaining inquiry, but if anyone DOES know, please PM me!

Anyhow, in keeping with the "candy/chocolate" theme, have you guys taken a look at the Valentine's Day candy? Is it just me or have they gone all out this year? I saw heart shaped Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, heart shaped Nestle's Crunch, etc. Is this new, or have I just been oblivious to this until now?

(sorry I know--not the most interesting topic, but I thought if anyone would know, you guys would!)

haha, guju you crack me up. I didn't mean it that way, though!! It that were the case, this would be one boring thread-- kind of like some of the other state threads, where all they talk about is med schools. But it was simply an ironic comment considering 9 posts out of 10 have nothing to do with med schools or Florida. And that's the way it should be, dammit.

REL posted in the USF c/o 2010 thread that there are still six more interview days for USF. If he sees this, he'd be the best person to answer your question. We're applicants like you are, so we don't really know the answer.

Thank you! Just thought maybe someone would have the story. I have an interview, I was just wondering if it was for the waitlist.
 
Glad I could give you a cheap laugh.


Talking about the florida school is overrated, this is not the thread to do that. That type of discussion is not condoned, and if present, it will be reported to the mods.

hahahahahaha..............SO trueeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! Didn't think about that. Oh and I agreeeeeeeeeee.............we should have 10 out of 10 posts be unrelated to Fl. schools. 😉 😉

Much like the Random thread in the MCAT forum. Those tend to be the most fun. 😀

Edit: That comment was not in specific reference to guju's post...I just wasn't wearing clothes at the time (as I was changing to go run) and wanted to grant guju's wish for randomness.

You didn't complain about that when you came to visit...wink wink.

I was just watching MTV cribs. I love that show. I always think, "Someday, if I work my ass off and save up all my money, I may just earn enough to buy that pair of gucci shoes for my baby that she'll grow out of in 2 months." Really though, it is entertaining to envision my entire apartment fitting in their kitchens.
