I wonder if I can claim the page topper in both rvm threads?

I think we are doing well keeping both threads going too. Its just going to be interesting to keep the stories straight once the big pad sessions get started up.
 
Thanks for all the compliments on the relationship stuff rose! It's hard, but worth it. I feel like I can talk to him about anything, and that's what I need right now (and probably forever too). Always good to have someone around that gets you.
 
Oh and I just realized how many interviews you have already h24g, congrats! You are now my idol.
 
:barf:

Spent the whole rainy, cold, miserable day taking Step2CK. And my reward for finishing is starting my Medicine SubI on Monday. bleh.
 
...and who's idea was it to add a whole additional block of questions compared to Step1? 8 hours - honestly, Is that necessary?

and only 1 interview so far, and 2 rejections...we cant all be superstars:meanie:

Welcome to Rearview! Consider this the premiere thread for posting about your match woes, Camel! 😀

ours is
1-top of the class (like top 2%)
2-outstanding
3. excellent to outstanding
4. excellent (most of the class)
5. very good (25 percentile)
6. good (bottom scrapers)

I think this type of wording is the norm. We won't get to know our adjective until next week and a committee votes on it, you?

i feel honored to be part of such a prestigious thread : )

our dean's letters got mailed to us early in october, we can suggest revisions and send it back to the dean/committee. just got it back this week to proofread for mistakes, content, grammatical, or otherwise. takes the suspense out of it, but i like this way of doing it, doesn't make things so exciting which is not a bad thing

Up late again I see. I didn't even nap today so that I could sleep, and I'm still awake.

we need to go to doctor and find out what's wrong with us...

think this is an emergency?
 
sup peeps.. just want to point out the person with 2 posts telling us who he/she thinks the best programs are is hilarious.
 
as if we all havent thought about this.. sure im more annoyed my program isnt on there but even if it was I would think the list is stupid

:meanie: Sure that's the reason you don't like it. All I can say is that no one can create a list unless they know each of the programs equally. And that will never happen. And yes, I noticed the 2 posts too. Wonder even if he's legit (the attending he says he is).

All this talk about lists makes me want to create an "attending" screen name and bust out my own list. :meanie:
 
Like everyone, I'd love to go to a program that is great for me and that would also open doors in terms of finding an academic job. But if I was just looking for prestige, why didn't I apply to Cinci or USC or Denver?
 
I guess my next interview offers won't be until after Nov 1st ... gonna be a long week 🙁
 
Thursday and Friday might be quite exciting and interesting just for another weekend to come.

I hope I can sleep the night before - so much depends on my class rank and whether some of my fave picks make me an offer....

Yeah, sorry about disappearing. I got all OCD thinking about class rank ad matching and was trying to find some literature
