I don't know about you guys, but I am constantly making the soundtrack to my life with the music I listen to, and had certain songs that I listened to a lot after getting accepted to med school.

I wanted to know if there are others out there that did the same thing, so I thought I would start a fun new thread: reply to this thread with your post title being the title of the song(s) you listened to when you got accepted, and your post message being the artist, and your favorite line of the song(optional). Let's see what we've all been listening to! My songs:

We Are the Champions, Queen:
"We are the champions, my friends. And we'll keep on fighting till the end."

I Made It, Kevin Rudolf:
"I look up to the sky, and now the world is mine. I've known it all my life: I made it, I made it!"

I'm Feelin' Good, Muse (cover):
"Birds flying high, you know how I feel. Sun in the sky, you know how I feel. Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel...It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me, and I'm feelin' good!"
 
Tender by Blur. "Come on, come on, come on...GET THROUGH IT"...referring to my undergrad. 😱
 
Fort Minor...Remember the Name

"10 percent luck, 20 percent skill, 15 percent concentrated power of will, 5 percent pleasure, 50 percent pain, and 100 percent reason to remember the name"
 
"I can go the distance" from Hercules. I remember playing it my freshman year to push myself so that I can get good grades and get into med school. So it has a connection to my struggle 🙂

And then two other non-English songs : Crazy Kiya Re (from a Bollywood movie) and another song from a classic arabic movie from the 50's 👍

And then I got really into Jason Mraz but that has nothing to do with it 😛
 
"99 problems" - Jay Z

self explanatory... 😎
 
I haven't been accepted, but will for sure blast "I made it" by Kevin Rudolf and probably "Ride for me" by Gabriel Antonio.

I honestly don't remember what songs were playing, but I was blasting something great as I drove to the hospital I was volunteering at and dropped off my access card.

Zimbabwe...courtesy of Robert Nesta Marley
 
When :xf: I get admitted I will play T.I.'s "On Top of the World"

I used to dream (I used to dream),
oh-oo-woh (ohhhh),
About the money and the cars and girls (and the girls)
But now I sing (now I sing),
oh-oo-woh (OHHHH)
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world (the whole world)!!!!

I go knuckin' futts every time I hear this song.

Juicy.

It was all a dream...

I used to read word-up magazine! Ha I bet 90% of these people had no idea what you were talking about. If you guys like Hip-hop put these on repeat:

1) Good Life - Kanye West
2) Moment of Clarity - Jay-Z
3) Party Life - Jay-Z
4) The Grind Date - De La Soul

Probably the most celebratory (and most broadly appealing) of all:

Good Life - One Republic

MY TIME - Fab. feat. Jeremih.

Why? Cause it's my time!!
 
"OWW!! I feel good. I knew that I would now..."

I actually set this to my ringtone when I suspected the adcom meetings were going down.
 
"Champion" - Kanye West
"Sunshine" - Mos Def
"Supreme Supreme" - Talib Kweli feat. Mos Def
"The Seed 2.0" - The Roots
"Get Your Walk On" - Xzibit
"Roc Boys" - Jay-Z
"The World's Greatest" - R. Kelly

empire state of mind- jay z

Defy Gravity- Wicked

and some random Christian praise songs about having Faith in God since that was a big lesson learned during applications.
 
if I got rejected I would probably play that "All The Right Friends" song by OneRepublic:

"All the right friends in all the right places...so yeah, we're going down"

just trying to blame it on other people's connections:laugh:

if rejected, people should listen to "try again" by aaliyah
 
"Perfect Day" - Hoku

" It's the perfect day, nothing's gonna bring me down. I could stay forever as I am on this perfect day. Nothing's standing in my way."
 
Mini Daddy is my favorite reggaeton rapper
 
It's not a song, but I have video of me after word of my acceptance.

Actually I go through different moods for music. On my run right after being accepted I actually made sure and put on my ipod both,
Lose Yourself by Eminem
Undead by Hollywood Undead (can't stand them normally, but just in that mood)

Later that day it was Frank Sinatra and then Harry Connick followed by a little Coltrane, Booker, Miles, Hirt, etc. Yeah, I'm weird.

I'm the same way. I'll listen to music in any genre so long as it appeals to me.
 
This Wednesday I find out if I will be able to attend my #1 choice school... and if I get accepted, I vow to put this song on repeat:

and I am going to walk around like that too. ;P
