It's a big building with lots of patients, but that's not important right now.north2southOMFS said:What is a joke irl?

WTF? I don't get this or the joke irl. Also, though I do own many people, I do not remember owning you 1FutureDDS. What does your title mean?toofache32 said:It's a big building with lots of patients, but that's not important right now.

It's interesting that you're talking smack while criticizing someone else for doing something that you don't understand at all. I do feel bad for you that you were picked on all through high school and now have a need to lash out at every opportunity from the safe confines of your dorm room. If you spend a little time around here before opening your mouth, you'll notice that everything that was posted was between a bunch of people who know each other. Get a grip, and stay off the threads until you have something intelligent to say, or at the very least, something funny.1FutureDDS said:What is going on here you ask?
My post clearly explained that you are indeed a joke "in real life" = a 135 pound joker who talks big game ON THE BIG OL INTERWEB THINGY DOTCLICKCLICK, and wasting your time editing a google search was a "homo" thing to do?
You tell me how in the F did you not understand what I said?

I saw something negative posted towards you in what was supposed to be a "learning" thread. I'm sure it was comical to you and everyone involved, but from the outside, I saw a directly negative post at you which I wasnt expecting when I came here to learn something new about OMFS.
I would love to stay off the threads until I have something intelligent to say, if the threads aren't derailed by this type of material. You give me something intelligent to learn other than jock-straps and I will gladly have an intelligent conversation with you.
I like long walks on the beach, staring into each others eyes for hours on end, reciting poetry, and exchanging codpieces. If you feel the same, PM me.TiggerJSA said:I think CardsFan has a new admirer
TX is one of my upper levels. We screw with each other all the time on here. When I make fun of him in person, he starts crying, and then I have to feel bad for the next couple hours. On here, I don't have to see any tears. Except, of course, reading yours...1FutureDDS said:You're correct; I didnt spend time learning what exactly happened.

jstars11 said:I've never posted on the internet, but I heard about this website and I have a single question that it seems like everyone has different answers for. If I rank schools according to where I want to go, and the schools at the top of my list don't rank me very high then I could potentially not match. I understand that I keep my 1st choice till they fill their spots, but if a school ranks me at the top and I put them let's say like 4th. They could fill their two spots with applicants that ranked them higher then I did right? And then I could be stuck somewhere much lower on my list?......not sure if that made sense?
Thanks for the advice....that's exactly what I was wondering. See, I'm going on 9 interviews, but so far I'm only ranking 2 out of the 5 I've been on. And one of those 2 I don't think I have a shot in hell at getting in to so I needed to know exactly how to play the oddsjpollei said:As long as you are higher on the program's list than those other applicants you mentioned, you get the spot. You don't need to rank them higher just to "ensure" a spot as you then might risk not getting into a program you really like more. That's precisely why you should rank honestly. Even if only your last choice has you on their list (say within their top 4 if they accept 4 in a class), you are guaranteed to match at least there.
I guess we're idiots since we didn't know that "irl" doesn't refer to auto racing. I guess we R not up on the teenie-bopper chat lingo.

Let's say, for example, that you feel really strongly that Program A is going to rank you highly, but you're not totally sold on them. Program B doesn't give you the same warm, fuzzy feeling, but you really liked the program. Let's say Program A ranks you #1, and Program B ranks you #8. If you rank Program A #1, you go to program A. If you rank Program B #1, one of two things can happen. Either B fills their spots with their 1-7 ranks (in which case you match Program A) or they don't match until you. Then, you go to B, which you liked better to begin with. You should ALWAYS rank on your preference, NOT by who you think is going to rank you better. Now, if there were 8 programs that you liked better than A, and you knew A was going to rank you well, you are still better off ranking the others ahead of A. The only time you wouldn't match at A would be if you matched somewhere that you liked better. Hope that helps.jpollei said:As long as you are higher on the program's list than those other applicants you mentioned, you get the spot.

Now this just doesn't make sense. Periogod - three quick questions:
Do you understand the match?
Why are you so hostile?
Do you know what a troll is?

DcS said:Is that accurate? That's like saying if you rank 8 programs...and you don't match at your 1-7 but you will without a doubt rank at your number 8 if they had you number 1? That seems to be what you said...which basically means if you are ranked 1 by any program you will at worst match there with certainty. That can't be right?
That's exactly right. There's a similar explanation of the algorithm on the match website. Anyone who ranks programs based on which ones "liked them" are idiots....and likewise, the programs aren't ranking applicants based on who they think are going to rank them high.DcS said:Is that accurate?

We were hot 'n heavy, until he caught me cheating with his wife...things went downhill from there. Now, he gets cranky from having "periotome wrist". It's a tough thing to treat, but usually a cowhorn will solve the problem.toofache32 said:They were "friends" in dental school and used to be pretty "hot 'n heavy" I heard.

I once read an application that had the word "matriculate" in there. What kind of toolbox uses that word? Oh, wait, that was me . Sorry CardsFanesclavo said:How about this common phrase "I am a real hard worker." I say how about 354 hours a month. I just smile to myself thinking, let me work you a week and you won't know if gravity is pulling up or down on you. How about working hard after not sleeping for 48 hours with me screaming in your ear because you don't open up that cricothyrotomy kit fast enough.... "I like to work really hard".... good, I'll remember that when your dragging your hind end down the hallway feeling like 50 lb weights are hanging on your superior tarsus. I didn't write that in my statement because I figured they didn't care, they would make me like working that hard.
