I think I'm going to buy myself a macbook next summer and party up in Vegas (well.. Vegas whether I get in or not.. 21.. WHOOO).


Maybe go to a spa and find myself a Cambodian *****. (not really)




Anyone else??
 
If I get accepted anywhere I am quitting my job and traveling...perhaps skydiving and mountain climbing...

maddang...better start saving up for that macbook. 😉 Your scores are amazing! I want to do some MAJOR traveling! Hopefully all will go well...

Come on now... We all know it's not just a number game... Although it would help me a lot of it was hahaha.

The deal breaker for me is the fact that I am in my third year of undergrad (no degree planned).. so we'll just have to see how that goes.



Anyways, do you guys know where you want to travel??


And come on nowwww... I know there are more people on here who are going to do something or get themselves something big if they get into dental school.


The only thing I want to do this year is have funnn and travel... so I'm trying to get some ideas on where to go and what to do when I'm there.
 
If I get accepted, I'm going to go out and get laid for the very first time! I'm so excited!
 
i'm going to celebrate by studying more for the DAT for FUN!
 
ewww....a Macbook?
Might as well burn that money...get a real comp that doesn't have an apple on the top of it that makes the comp cost twice as much it is worth.
Get two laptops instead... 😉
I think you have a pretty good shot at UCSF...I think UCLA only accepted one junior (as in like you) and UCSF accepted about 8 or something. I could be wrong, but I hope you get both.

GOOD LUCK man, I really hope you get to buy that crappy comp.
 
Traveling and playing volleyball and soccer every other day --healthy way guys.
 
How can y'all afford these things after all them app fees? I'm broke as a joke.
 
of course!

i'll prob have some drinks w/ my buddy from school that's also pre-med (assuming he also gets in, we've struggled through this together)...lots of drinking...

then, prob just play lots and lots of golf and not care about school anymore 🙂
 
I treated myself to almost a thousand dollars in UPS costs, shipping my crap from the east coast to San Francisco. I love myself so much, I spent another thousand buying basics like soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, etc once I got to SF. Things I couldn't get shipped here. Moving is costly.

If accepted, I'll go on more mission trips. No need to treat myself 🙂

What a sacrifice 😀 I'd better save some money for the d-school even thou you can get loans, and gas for your 350z Nissan and buy Prius (it's expensive) , better maybe Honda Fit and start racing on it but saving gas, money, and the Earth -as you studied it in Ecology class. :laugh:
Good luck:luck:

HEY, I am tired of windows always F'ing up!!

And Apple is so sexy... And come on now... 100 dollor student discount + free ipod (sell it of course.. ipod touches are worthless..). A 1,300 dollar macbook becomes 1,000.

Applied only to the 3 schools in TX... $75 to TMDSAS. Those who apply to 5+ schools with AADSAS... ouchh



Proposing to my girlfriend 🙂
Just make sure she doesn't read on SDN! If so, you might want to edit that..

Windows does mess around every once in a while, but come on...

So, since you and harrygt both have crazy high DAT scores, I confuse the two of you...You aren't starting your third year next fall are you...

All I can say is, if you buy the mac, then we are no longer friends...you heard me, I said it.
 
I'll be too mesmorized by an acceptance letter to think about anything else.
 
Someone with a 26 should know better...a Mac?

Hahaha, get off my nuts, man!! lol
I might be exaggerating about Windows a little bit, but still, I like the sexiness of Mac.

But for you, doc <3, I will strongly reconsider..


and yeah.. I'm starting my third year this fall.

I'll pretty much be the same...than I'll hit reality and my dad said he would take me to climb a Mountain in Africa....literally.
 
Good choice going with a Mac, I was sick of Windows screwing up and ever since I switched to OSX, I've been very happy. You can get a Macbook, brand new for $750. Use live.com to search for Macbook, at the results page you will see a sponsored link to eBay with microsoft cashback. Select a Macbook with Buy-It-Now price of ~$1,000 and you will get 25% cashback, max of $250 in 60 days. People have already been getting their cashback so this is legit. I just purchased a Garmin GPS unit with the live.com 25% and its already showed up on my cashback account, just need to wait 58 more days until I can transfer it to my PayPal account.
 
Oh, nice...I am sure you will get into all of the schools you applied to, check out an HP with a real processor in it and loads of RAM and 17 inch screen with great graphics card.
Macs are too common man. I am tired of seeing them everywhere I go. Be different...

You have any idea how heavy and bulky a 17" laptop is? The only difference between a PC laptop and Mac laptop is the operating system and the outer casing. All other components are the same.

The processor CAN be the same if you pay extra. You pay a lot more for a decent Mac than for a decent non-Mac.
17 inch is big...but is also awesome for watching movies and tv shows on....what do you think laptops are for in D-school? Heavy? Not anymore, they getting lighter and it is not like I can't carry a few pounds...unless you are a tiny girl who can't, why not go with 17...

The processor/chipset is the same, Intel Core 2 Duo Penryn, only the Ghz is different and you have to pay extra for PC laptops as well. I do agree that Mac users pay a premium basically for a different operating system but a much more stable one. Sure 17" is awesome but why settle for 17" when you can hook up a 15" Macbook Pro to a 24" monitor which is even more awesome cause I can watch at 1080p while you'll need to upgrade to an HD 17" screen. You get a big viewing real estate at home while something that's portable in class. Laptops are getting lighter for the 12" to 15" but not for 17". It's funny that people think bigger is always better, compensating for something?

Well if you decide to go to SA they will make you buy a Macbook or PC laptop for 2500, so dont spend your money! Besides Linux is the bomb!
 
If I get accepted this year, first I'm gonna scream so loud...Ahhhhhhhhhh.....then treat myself a trip to Europe since I've never been there =)
 
I would go to India.... for the longest time possible!!
 
I want to work as an engineer for the first and last time in my life.
And def i want to go to India...btw Masks when will you be booking your plane tickets?.....we have same day interview at UConn, might as well go to india together also😛
 
I was thinking of trading my Mazda3 for a Mazdaspeed3 (so fast...) but I think I'll just pay it off before D-school and be payment free for a long time.

well u r def a girl..and i would love to show you around the good things of CT...since you are also from India, so would you go to one of the best Indian restaurant around there with me....it will be a treat to us after the interview....what do you say?
 
hmmm... I just got a car... I guess if I got in, I'd quit work and take the summer off before dental school, and possibly get a laptop (pc) since mine busted at the beginning of this year.
 
when i get in, i will treat myself to dental school.....cause that $#!* is expensive.
realistically, perhaps some travelling.
 
I think I'll take out a loan so I can buy myself an A Lange and Sohne watch.

Oh your bf is also coming...that will be great...i will ask my gf to join us for dinner and it will be a nice double date.....there are really nice restaurants around there...sounds interesting....🙂🙂
 
If I get in the wife and I will take a delayed honeymoon(s). Vegas in April and probably the Virgin Islands in June. Then I owe her one trip to Italy after graduation from D-school. 😉

Talk about a crazy summer. I took a week off for the wedding, got married on a Saturday, came home Monday, and continued studying for the DAT on Tuesday. Thank god she is understanding and supportive! 😳
