Hey all (or maybe just crimsonkid)! NP here - I have yet to get the letter so I have yet to fully accept it but I'm posting anyway!
so is it safe to post here, if you can only log into the webpage?

If we're voting, my vote is "YES."
It just doesn't make sense for anyone that can log in to receive a rejection or waitlist letter at this point!
yea, i think that if you can log on at this point, you're definately in! congratulations zippership, goinback2cali? and bubblehead-to-MD! 😀
So we moved over here, huh? I want that damn letter!
i know that hst revisit is april 26-28. i don't know about np, though.
April 12-14 is for the MD/PhD at least as far as I know.
UCSF MSTP ????
Do I want a PhD more than I want to go to Harvard?

No way. Save the 3-4 years of your life. When you finish at Harvard you'll be able to do whatever you want anyway (research, etc.).
NP is April 26-28
It's official! All paperwork arrived today in that lovely light yellow envelope!

Hearty congratulations, even if you couldn't get into West Point and had to settle for the Naval Academy.
CONGRATS!!! Thanks for your encouragement along the way too!
can't you apply to the phd program once you are at harvard?
not as guaranteed, i suppose and possibly more stressful to apply...

Haven't you heard what a West Point graduate and a Naval Academy graduate have in common?
They both got into West Point!
It has been a blast - way too much time spent on SDN though!

That's awesome.The mail just came! It was the most awesome yellow envelope in the history of yellow envelopes. 😍
Congrats! You'd think it would be manilla, but no, this puppy is yellow. Anyways, I'm starting the financial aid questions and this was one of the required questions:
3. Student's Academic Program
Do you plan to practice in primary care?*
(Items marked with an asterisk are required of all applicants)
How should I know? I love useless form questions. Actually, I really don't. *disillusioned*

Hey all, I propose that we set up a chatroom sometime and get to know each other better before second look. Anyone else think this might be a good idea? I'm unfortunately a technological caveman, so I have no idea how to set one of those up. Anybody technologically inclined here and up to the task?
you can split a plane ticket with me if you'll feel better

does anybody here rock climb?

Have you considered switching your car insurance to GEICO? I hear their online services are right up your alley!
Pardon me, but we Yalies have to defend our honor here. To counter:

🙄 Way to spoil the fun.😉
Curriculum questions:
I'll be NP, when do you have the chance to do research? It looks like taking a 5th year is common (when funding abounds), but do you normally just get involved between summer of 1st and 2nd year? No other protected research time during the curriculum?
I am about 95% sure that HMS is Pass/Fail with no AOA. No way I would want to (let alone be able to) compete with those students.
Dunno about a chatroom, but Case Western has a Second Look facebook group while Yale and Vandy have Class of 2011 groups. Maybe someone more sure on the decision can found a group.
So nobody wants to go to HMS anymore, huh?
Hehe, I think we spent so much time on the computer before we got our letters that now we must compensate by actually going out into the world and celebrating 😉
Much like my cellphone and probably soon my pager, SDN is attached to my hip and has been an inseparable part of my being. Soon I'll start feeling it my bones when someone makes a big post on this site.
have you guys gotten any emails about second look? i think they said theyd email wiht more info.... does anybody know about when we can expect them?

Has anyone got anything after replying to this e-mail and sending
in the RSVP form?
Nothing yet for me. After they sent that second look email, it got a whole lot quieter on this thread.

Yeah, this thing died. Who is going to 2nd look? I bought my plane ticket a few days ago.
I'm more excited about second look weekend than about my own birthday (later this week).
In other news, my online financial aid award became available on the 6th of April. The verdict: $4,250 Subsidized Stafford Loan, $3,000 Perkins Loan, and $5,000 HMS Revolving Loan x 2 semesters = $24.5 K unit loan.
The standard repayment period for student loans is 10 years.  Thus someone taking out the unit loan for 4 years would pay (98*11.51) = $1,127.98 per month for ten years meaning $13,535.76 per year. In other words, although the unit loan does look favorible, it appears to be doable.

I got the above message, but haven't received confirmation of RSVP. I'm sure they're busy. Just that, that will be us next year🙁
Hey everyone,
Things have gotten a bit crazy here, but we are so excited about Revisit next week. By this point, you should have received your RSVP confirmation and a copy of the schedule for Revisit 2011.
Your student hosts have just gotten your information today, so they will be contacting you soon. (Maybe not tonight, since we have an exam in the morning).
If you have any questions, please let us know!
