I think all the slackers got put in mod 215. 😎

I found a few DT's:
I love to go to the schoolyard and watch the children jump and scream, but they don't know I'm using blanks.
I think college administrators should encourage students to urinate on walls and bushes, because then when students from another college come sniffing around, they'll know this is someone else's territory.
Instead of mousetraps, what about baby traps? Not to harm the babies, but just to hold them down until they can be removed?
When Gary told me he had found Jesus, I thought, Yahoo! We're rich! But it turned out to be something different.
Isn't that a chick flick? 🙄lfesiam said:bring it on

Amxcvbcv said:On a personal note, I also recommend getting a wireless router to use at home if you buy a laptop and have broadband internet access (check out www.soonerconnect.net, by the way). It is incredibly cool to be able to lounge in bed, on the couch, in the recliner, outside, wherever and still access the internet.
If I am fortunate enough to be admitted, you won't feel the least bit weird - you'll feel quite young, in fact.exlawgrrl said:another question about ou -- would i feel weird if i'm not a 21-year-old person from either ou or osu? i did feel weird at osucom about this. my brother swears that ou had a bit more diverse student population when he was there, but i was just curious.

Thanks for saying what I wanted to say on the "how old is too old" thread. I was genuinely hurt last night when I saw all the posts speculating that 30 or 35 is the "absolute max" age - I didn't blow it off because I view any premed as a peer and take his/her opinion seriously. But the idea of a 21-year old traditional premed having an informed opinion about what the maximum age should be is kinda silly now that I think about it. I'm over it. 😳
Oh my god, you're from out of state??!! I don't think I can look at you the same again. 😀Antigunner said:I At least that's how I feel about it - nobody has made fun of me for being out-of-state... yet... 🙂
Yep, I'm hoping to see the blood clotting stuff again. It seemed really important!Amxcvbcv said:I pray that I don't ever harm a patient because I didn't fully grasp the subtleties of JAK and STAT as well as several of Steinberg's other topics.
Hooray for not having to worry about it until studying for Step 1 (if then?).

Non-TradTulsa said:Question: do you Class of 2009 folks have an opinion on thank-you letters to interviewers? On the one hand, it seems like a very polite gesture and certainly appropriate after all the work they did for me. On the other hand, I can see where such a letter sometimes may be construed as inappropriate before an admissions decision is made. Maybe it would be classy to wait until the thick or thin envelope comes and *then* send a nice thank-you note - then the sentiment won't be mis-interpreted. I'm really looking forward to your opinion - thanks in advance. Sure hope to see you next year!

Non-TradTulsa said:Well, yesterday was my interview day. Congratulations to the student volunteers from the Class of 2009 - you guys had things running like a well-oiled machine. For anyone with an upcoming interview - you will have a terrific experience.
Yesterday was fantastic. My interviewers were friendly, supportive, helpful, and interested - they had clearly spent a great deal of time with my AMCAS application and LORs and knew the details very well. The tour was great (so were the student tourguides and faculty). I was very impressed with the facilities. Nice lunch, too. Best of all, the "energy" I felt on the campus was very positive. If I could have signed on the dotted line yesterday, I would have (oh, please-please-please let me in!!!).

I was in the 10:00 group. At the 9:00 Hippocrates session, it was clear that all of us were having a hard time paying attention (I'm sure the deer-in-the-headlights look was pretty obvious). My faculty interviewer was Dr. Brown (anesthesiology). I think it takes a lot of the pressure off when you sense that your interviewer wants you to do well. He also knew my AMCAS very well - all three interviewers did. After all the secondaries and impersonal form letters, it was nice to feel that somebody actually read what I wrote. No matter what happens, I feel that I had the opportunity to do my absolute best yesterday. Can't ask for more than that - no regrets.Amxcvbcv said:I'm sure I passed you in the hall somewhere yesterday. 😛 It's been fun seeing the half-scared and stunned applicants on their tours. 😀
I'm glad you had a good experience. Do you remember who you had for your interview?
The Financial Aid people do a short presentation after lunch. You can leave right afterward if you like. I stayed behind for maybe 10 minutes to talk to the MS-I hosts afterward and I was back at my car in the parking lot by 1:30. I didn't get home until later, because I was so relieved that I drove around OKC for at least an hour without paying any attention to where I was.Abe said:what time does the day end?

Jwax, Abe - you'll be great. Good luck on Tuesday!! They will be glad to see you guys. Abe, I decided to go down from Tulsa the night before, and I'm glad I did. You have a shorter trip from Muskogee - but allow yourself enough time to get there early and get parked. As usual, I pulled-in with 5 minutes to spare and I was very glad that I had found an entrance to the conference lot off NE 8th Street the night before - if you can get in off Lottie, I couldn't find it!Abe said:i wonder if our tuesday interviews are gonna be the same as the first rounders, my freind said it was more like they were trying to sell him the school, rather than him trying to get in lol, and no hard questions at all apparently, no ethics, no healthcare, it was a breeze apparently. I'm driving from muskogee waking up at 4:30, im just praying that my car doesnt break down or i get really lost that I cant get there lol.
Gl on tuesday =).

exlawgrrl said:Yep, my interview was tough, and I admittedly did not do well. It was not a conversational get to know you, we already dig you type of thing at all. I think it just depends on who interviews you. I get reamed on policy stuff, which is my total weak point. Throw me ethics, and I'm cool, but I don't have any good answers for totally reforming healthcare in America.
Jwax said:The notion that we should have any idea on how to fix healthcare in America is ridiculous. Obviously, they have all been at this a lot longer than we (as pre-meds) have and they haven't figured out a solution yet (b/c if they had, they wouldn't need to ask us). I dislike the idea of my first question being "what don't you want to talk about?" Policy is definately my answer. Maybe I'll say any ethical questions b/c maybe I can get that out ok? Tomorrow is the day.... I'm about to start AAMC review. 24 hours from now, it will all be over!!!! 😀
