Okay fine, I'll play, but these pics will be deleted in 15 min.

One of these is my most recently uploaded picture on FB and the other one is my profile pic (those of you in the DAT group will recognize me from that lol). I'm not wearing makeup in either of them, because I don't really wear makeup normally, so this is probably a good representation of what you get with me on a regular day. 😛

I know Im beautiful. I just wanted y'all to see the face behind all the great posts and advice lol. Im playing lol. On a serious note, posting a pic is a good thing. If you end up in the same class with someone on here you can recognize them and now you have yourself a buddy.

I believe that when people comment on other people's pictures they aren't thinking omg this person is ugly but.... let me post "You're so attractive!" I think people are just happy to put a name to a face. I think the comments are, for the most part sincere, you may not think a lot of the people that posted are attractive but I think everyone that has posted looks amazing. Plus, it takes a lot of balls to put your picture out there for fear of ridicule. So props to everyone who has posted a real picture of themselves. You're all beautiful!

I agree, but what I think you fail to understand is that there is a difference between being ugly and simply not being attractive. I never said anyone was ugly, nor would I. I understand that attractiveness is a concept that is both subjective and relative. I simply believe that MOST who have posted are after a little ego pet, they want to feel good about themselves and most SDN members will oblige them.
 
DAMN bereno I just saw your pic and I am NOT even sure about my sexuality anymore...

No, I know I'm cute, don't get me wrong. I just don't like the negativity of some posters.

It's also more that I think there are a lot of creepers on the internet, and I don't want to walk into an interview and have someone be like, "Sooooo...saw your face on SDN." And this is a public forum, so anyone can see the photos, I think, even without an account.

That's what makes me really wary of posting pics.

I completely agree with you! I'm already in so they can't judge me any more. But on a serious note, two of the schools I interviewed at knew who I was from my stats. So, deffinitely be careful what you post on this site. I mean, I post positive things, so I had nothing to hide.
 
im sorry guys

it was never my intention to come off as an ahole but i just got really jealous of the good looking people on this thread

since i was a kid everyone made fun of my weight and my disproportionately enormous face/head and that made me hold grudge against good looking ppl....because they were the ones who made fun of me

i don't expect any forgiveness but i do hope ppl will understand where im coming from and maybe have sympathy for me before making a judgement based on my online behavior

I agree as well on 3 of my interviews, my fellow interviewees already knew who I was (wasn't very clever with my username). Plus, a lot of people from my pre-dental society poke fun at me because they read my posts and knew it was me based on my stats/ username.

Obviously not everyone will fit everyone else's idea of what attractive means. But I don't think that most people who have posted are after an ego pet. I think they genuinely want to share so that someone else will put a face to their username in the hopes that they can put faces to other people's usernames. It's generally a pretty friendly community in the pre-dental forums, and I really don't think people are after the ego boost at all. The fact that you think that tells me more about what kind of a person you are than what kind of people the others are.

My personal hang up wasn't that I don't think I'm attractive. It's that I didn't want someone like you to see my photos at all. If you're going to be so cynical, I don't want you looking at my photos and judging my intentions for posting my pics.
 
Its ok timmy. Beauty is subjective and if one person says you are ugly I am sure that many others will think that you are attractive. But in your case the two things I mentioned above might be switched...

This is true. You did have crazy stats so you would be easier to match up than someone with more easily replicable stats, but I'd personally rather not risk posting too much info until I am safely in, even though I don't think my posts can really be used against me.

I've never heard of that name before! It's unique and pretty!

Awww. I want to give you a hug. It's okay. I was bullied in high school because I would get a hundred on every test. I went to an all-girls catholic school and they would make fun of my curly hair and colorful eyeshadow (they said it looked like mold lol). I would cry about that. In elementary school, I was also made fun of for eating applesauce (they said it was baby food) and getting hundreds on tests, especially spelling ones. So, everyone gets made fun of. Just when your the brunt of it, it feels like your the only one that is in that kind of situation, but you are not.

We forgive you and God still loves you (I went to Catholic school all of my life LOL), but please take down your avatar.

Yes, they deffinitely check this site. My interviewer at ____ school said so, "What do they say about _____ on sdn" and I had to say the truth that this site basically bashes the school. I said it gentily LMAO. They knew who I was. I didn't even have a picture then!

It seems to me you are hung up worrying about what other people might think or say about you. The sooner you abandon this mindset, the better off you'll be. It is a simple concept, but I understand how difficult it can be to employ.

Dude, you can think what you want. My intentions/values being misinterpreted by other people is one of my pet peeves.

I will think what I want, I've made that pretty apparent. But I'm pretty sure I've got you pegged, I know your type. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I did not mean for that first sentence to potentially be interpreted as aggressive. The tone was different in my head.

I'm posting a cute kitten video as an apology

I think this thread is a good representation of the fact that we will not get along with everyone in our future classes!

I think that generally people's personalities online and IRL differ at least slightly and sometimes significantly.

Amberena, you seem cool. I like your name too and you like dogs! I am sure you will have tons of friends. Well, we know not to take to the people who are quiet yet make fun of us over the internet.
 
I'm pretty excited to see the personality dynamics of my class at OHSU. I'm sure we'll all be drawn toward the schools that fit with our natural, real-life personalities. 😀
 
I just think that a few people grew cyberballs and decided to be total jerks. Its okay because what goes around comes around 🙂 I hope adcoms do look at these posts.
 
I thought GIRLS usually hate each other.

Like you've said, the very best advice is just not to post anything you'd be ashamed of! Even without a picture, I think my TS would be a bit identifiable. I bet adcoms do read things! I have nothing to hide, either. 🙂 I suppose the most incriminating thing I've said is that I want to go in-state... but hey, money's a big deal!! Haha. 😳

Stevey, that's a nice pic.

As for ewu6three, I think he and I both had the other pegged wrong and maybe I jumped on the defensive too quickly. No one's perfect. 😀
