What does March bring? MCAT? Finals? Both?Who else feels this way please stand up.

March brings the sad realization that it is very much winding down in the 2006-2007 application year :le sigh:
Yeah, it's March. Sucks for med school apps, great for college bball. The two offset for me right now. Things may change depending how my team does.
i don't think you can ever expect your team to make a deep run.... that's why NCAA tournament pools are great, it lets you cheer for multiple teams (BTW, we should make an SDN pool)
Out of the 63 games last year (not counting the 64/65 seed crap), 21 had the lower seeded team winning. That's exactly 1/3, that's why it's so awesome. Thanks to George Mason and a few other lower seeded schools, my team had an easier path than most.
1st round: #14 South Alabama
2nd round: #11 Milwaukee (who upset #6 Oklahoma)
3rd round: #7 Georgetown (who upset #2 OSU)
4th round: #1 Villanova as scheduled
5th round: #11 George Mason (who upset #1 UConn)
6th round: #2 UCLA as scheduled from 5th round
That's why a #1, #2, or #3 seed doesn't matter that much to me. We were a #3 seed and Duke was #1. Duke played tougher teams (if you go by seeding) because they didn't have any upsets.
you ever do pools ? what kind of point system do you tend to use?

Please God, don't have anyone start a thread about what top 20 school they should choose. "It's soooo hard! " Please

I'm always confused about this. Why can't people who get into top 20 schools
feel indecisive? Are two schools only similar in benefits when they're both ranked below 30? As much as people talk about how rankings don't matter, people sure get riled up when people start getting admitted to good schools. Just my $0.02...
Believe it or not (based on my above post), I am actually happy for those who have gotten into a great school. Heck, getting into any school deserves applause. I just meant that since I haven't even been accepted to my state schools (still holding out a bit of hope, but not much) I don't really want to hear someone else whine about not being able to decide where to go when they've been accepted to more than one of the top schools in the country. I just hope that they're grateful for what they have.

its to show off acceptances. honestly.
people are ridiculous. like that vandy full-ride v. ucsf thread. are you telling me that he/she decided which one to attend next year based on posts from an annoymous forum? ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDIN ME!?
I hate it when people constantly show off in this way. AND I AM CONVINCED ITS 100% BOASTING. there is no way he/she cannot make that decision by personal gauges -- $$$, family, etc. He/she knows how the schools compare, knows the reputations, .... if he/she doesn't .... frankly he/she doesnt deserve the scholarship.

Are people who get into top 20 schools the only ones who have family members and have financial decisions?? Of course not. I would guess that a solid 80% of students who attend top 10 schools were offered at least some money to another school, even *gasp* a top 20. Similarly there are people at lower ranked schools who chose a scholarship over going to a top 10. CLEARLY the decision is not as clear cut as you would think or else people would make the same decision all of the time. All I'm saying that if someone is having trouble deciding between two top 50 schools people can have trouble deciding between two top 20's. You could make the argument that NO ONE should come to an anonymous forum for a decision.
It's march, my heart is like the cold snow outside my door, my hopes now melting into vapor.... oh god...

since its an anonymous fourm, boasting really has no value to the one boasting since the only thing that comes of it is flaming.
Internal smiling for making people bicker and flame.
I honestly hate waking up every morning. I know it's another failed day ahead.
Try to stick it out, DVN, we're all pulling for you...
It's only March....there's still hope.
Are you kidding me? If you're not in now, forget it!
But I still have one interview left...and waiting on another school.
You better make sure you pull it off then. You'll be finished if you don't impress them.
If all else fails...I still got accepted at Ross...It's doable....Right?
But you don't want to go to Ross!
Awww.....I wish it was April so I could know how loud to cry.
Island life could be fun........I'm sure of it.
you could still get accepted by some US school. You could have good news by April.........
Sad, but that's all that's been going through my head.
Thanks Sara
I must come off as a whiner, but I truly am not. SDN is the only place I vent my frustrations. I never talk to my friends or family about it. SDN is my release point
