Random non-MCAT and only peripherally related to the MCAT thread - Part 6

Welcome to Part 6! Everyone did a bang up job by hitting 10k in less than 12 days--11 days 19 hours and 18 minutes to be exact. A new record! 😀

For those not familiar with what we do here, Molly has been kind enough to put together a nice description.

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.

it's progressive...

first you lurk
then you actually take advice to heart from SDN
you join
you start posting questions specific to you
*point of no return*
you give others advice based on advice given by another SDN'er
you post on the random thread
you become WilliamsF1

 

[oxeye]

24 days now. 😉 I need to change it.

That's the countdown until 10/1.

I believe that outrageous post count has won you the affections of ExKitty, the OP to that thread.

24 days until oxeye gets the thick envelope in the mail.

 

[deleted106503]

Durden, I called up AMCAS again today. They said 4-5 weeks for verification. I can't remember if they said from the point I submitted or from right now (I submitted 2 weeks ago). I think it's the former.

My transcript still isn't uploaded, but they said that's okay because the verifiers (is that a word?) have the hard copy. The scanned upload is just for the phone representatives...

 

[UMP]

was it Baylor ? ... where is the EDP?

I just saw. BB called her out early in the thread, hahaha.

 

[DrBowtie]

Yup. She's only had her first taste.

 

[MollyMalone]

Hey Brett, any word on when you're coming my way?

 

[mshheaddoc]

Someone with 16 posts started a thread in pre-allo talking about SDN addiction.

That might be a new user name for them 😉

Many people actually do that.

 

[DrBowtie]

Hey Brett, any word on when you're coming my way?

29th - 30th. I'm not sure about if I am coming yet since we don't have details as of yet.

But hold the date for right now 😉

 

[oxeye]

24 days until oxeye gets the thick envelope in the mail.

I really hope so!!!

I got a thin envelope in the mail from them the other day. My heart stopped when I saw it thinking "Are they rejecting me already?????" but it was just a receipt for my charge card for the secondary fee.

I wanted to e-mail the admission director and tell her she needs to stamp all thin envelopes with a "This is not a rejection" stamp before putting them in the mail. 😉

 

[MollyMalone]

29th - 30th. I'm not sure about if I am coming yet since we don't have details as of yet.

I'll pencil you in. 🙂

 

[oxeye]

Are you asking me? Not applying to Baylor.

I don't tell people publicly where I am applying - too worried about stalkers.

 

[MollyMalone]

to oxeye!

for sure, i think i've about had it with my mollymalone account. i'll probably stop using that one soon. 😛

I wouldn't mind the wait if they had their act together. Someone from 8/17 just got verified, but there are some poor souls from July still not under review. I think they just give them in batches to different reviewers; start praying now that you don't get one of the lazy ones.

 

[Arsenic]

just saying hi guys.... i have to review a bunch of stuff tonight for my shelf tomorrow.

You just use this one when you have need of supermod powers?

This is very similar to what has happened to me! Except that last part, of course. 😉

 

[MollyMalone]

My secret identity has been revealed. I'm so going to get kicked off of "Who Wants To Be A Superhero" now. 🙁
