Random non-MCAT and only peripherally related to the MCAT thread - Part 5

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's the thread!

Not sure what the Random thread is all about? Well, here's the answer to all your questions.

It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.


Congratulations to everyone who made Part 4 such a kickass thread!!!

And thank you to the ever generous, intelligent, lovely, and kind Nichole, who let me start the thread even though she won the last one. 🙂

Yea, that is true. Unfortunately, I woke up at 11AM, AGAIN, and it's 4PM and it feels like I just wasted the day. I still haven't heard back from that guy in DC. Let me check my e-mail.

You're seriously willing to move to DC for work....wow!

 

[deleted106503]

More like 2nite heheheheh!!! 😛

I love Fall so much. The F1 season is still going on (only 4 more weeks). NFL starts up!!!! US Open!!! AWESOME! Tonight I think there's a match. Let me check. Hopefully no rain delay.

 

[deleted106503]

You're seriously willing to move to DC for work....wow!

Technically Maryland where my dad has a house. I'd take the train to DC, but I'm not sure I really want to. It would make it a hassle to fly to FL for med school interviews (if I get any).

 

[deleted106503]

i have a long way to go im only at like 50

You can do 200 posts a day if you really try, no problem. Unfortunately I speak from experience. 🙁

 

[deleted106503]

Rain delay right now in NY.

 

[UMP]

Damn! lol, what about LOR? I like putting pressure on myself, too. I seem to work better that way.

I need to talk to a prof about my third one... but the other two are in the bag

 

[deleted106503]

USA Network still is covering the games. Well, really just interviews with people because of rain...

I know I was like @ 100 less than 2 weeks ago, I think and I joined back in 2004. Was trying so hard not to go on this thread for the longest.

 

[deleted106503]

How many are you getting? I think I saw most just want 3, but so far I have 4:

2 science (OrgoI/II professor and Biochem professor)
1 non-science (int'l trade econ prof)
1 reseach (2 years there)

USF wants a 5th! Peer LOR.

 

[RAD11]

Stay on here a little longer and by the time you know it you'll need to go to rehab hahahah!!!

I didn't know about this forum til like June. I just lurked in the pre-allo to find out about AMCAS process because their site has little to show. Dr. Durden answered a bunch of questions when I decided to join (becaues I had specific q's) 👍

Then I came here for EK opinions and found this thread. 😀

 

[RAD11]

Peer LOR.

Wow r u serious....peer as in what a friend? That will be the best LOR ever.

 

[deleted106503]

Oh yea, are you using interfolio or anything?

Apparently I was saying some wrong things about the UF LOR service and someone from that office actually setup and account on SDN just to correct me. LMFAO!

I must say I got really into it again when looking for study tips for the MCAT and the rest is historyyyyyy

 

[deleted106503]

Yea, friend I suppose. I'll ask one of my friends who I've known well since high school.

No freakin way....is it that REL guy?

no, one of my schools LOR service

 

[deleted106503]

No, something like OLFPA. The same website name on UF.

 

[Tanner82]

was hoping brett was here, wanted to tell him he has #1 pick in FF

 

[RAD11]

LOR from a friend.....that's awesome!

 

[deleted106503]

REL is for USF I believe. The actual COM staff member.

 

[RAD11]

no, one of my schools LOR service

Hey how many schools are you applying to?

 

[UMP]

i think i'm gonna go edit some stuff out of my previous posts... i'm getting paranoid

 

[deleted106503]

He has class til around this time I think. Who would you pick #1? Please don't say Bush 😉 I have a soft spot for Cadillac being a Bucs fan and all...

 

[UMP]

Hey how many schools are you applying to?

let's see... 2-3 state schools, 3 chicago schools...... I think about 10-15

 

[RAD11]

As long as you didn't bash any schools or say something totally obscene then you're ok.

 

[deleted106503]

About? I don't think I'll post anything too personal that someone can spot me. I don't think I'll post up when/where I get interviews or where I get accepted. I'm crazy like that. Not sure if I'll post MCAT either...

 

[RAD11]

I ventured into The Lounge and that place is crazy!!!!!!!!

 

[deleted106503]

UChicago's secondary is terrible. The single reason I'm not applying there.

 

[Tanner82]

rad, what did u major in?

 

[deleted106503]

It doesn't seem as active imo.

Same here!!! 👍

i have to look and see what I actually said... I want to edit out things that are too easy to identify me as me

 

[RAD11]

good ol' bio

alright... i'm gonna drop uchicago then... i mostly just want to apply to Loyola...

 

[deleted106503]

What do you think is too easy to identify?

Only thing I've said was: Econ major at UF, graduated '06 May and now living in Orlando. That's really about it...

 

[Tanner82]

cliche

 

[deleted106503]

Is that too much detail? I don't think I could even find my posts because it goes back to 400 in your search feature.

 

[MollyMalone]

Really? I had fun with the essays. But then again, I'm a writer so I suppose I'm biased. 🙂

Too bad you're not applying, it would have been fun to see you at the interview!

I really wish I could write, but I'm not a writer AT ALL. I feel any BS would be easily spotted. It's a shame because Chicago is barnone my favorite city. 🙁

i think i've mentioned: where i went to undergrad, where i'm doing post-bacc, my first MCAT scores, my GPAs, where I live, my ethnicity (i'm a european immigrant).... i think I mostly just need to drop the post-bacc school info, my first MCAT scores and my ethnicity (not very common but it's a major part of my app)

 

[MollyMalone]

Thanks. 😀

Love the sig by the way, makes you more intimidating.

Beware of Molly... she'll put you off until tomorrow.

I've never said my ethnicity, but I was close to. I was about to start an MDapps profile to help others from UF to see what their stats compare, but I decided not to...

I posted GPA only once and never again...

 

[MollyMalone]

MM, that summary was the best post i've ever seen. 👍

Thanks!

they actually want 2 peer LORs.

So I guess you weren't really gonna post that picture of you with the long hair (when you got mistaken for a ma'am rather than a sir) 🙄

 

[deleted106503]

Yea, but I'm using my research one as that...the grad student is pretty much my age. I hope it works. If not, then tough luck for me.

 

[deleted106503]

So I guess you weren't really gonna post that picture of you with the long hair (when you got mistaken for a maan rather than a sir) 🙄

I was, but recently since I've been getting in a couple arguments in pre-allo, I decided not to. I could still send MCAT score and pic if someone wanted, but only through PM. So if you were curious to my MCAT, I'd PM it.
