Who would win in a fight. TMDAS or Ditka?

Ditka by 10.

Or could this TMDSAS organization be operated by one coach Ditka?

 

[davidr]

Aww, AsianDoc, don't take it personally. I don't think they wanted to drive you off. Come on back, if you want!

I just think everyone should know that I just bent my thumbnail back and now it's bleeding. It's a sign of my match results!!!

So what does it mean if it doesn't bleed? Did you interview at Tech? You could be a red raider...

 

[TBONEatRICE]

Do we know if lane has seen the UTHSCSA list at the dean's office?? 😱

at least we'll know by tonight! 😳
:knocks on wood for positive results:

DITKA 357 TMDSAS -35!!

Don't bend thumbnail=match at first choice

Bend thumbnail, no bleeding=match at 2nd-4th choice

Bend thumbnail, bleeding=match at Tech (red raider) or no match

Everyone should be on the lookout for situations in which your thumbnail might be bent back. Just FYI 👍

 

[synapse lapse]

Haha good morning guys! I only slept for 2 hours last night, from 6:30 - 8:30, I am sooo tired! I can't believe that this is happening today in just 12 short Hours!!

 

[DocKW]

I wish all of you the best. I'll be going through the Texas Match this upcoming cycle. I can only imagine how y'all are feeling. . .I actually feel nervous for y'all!

Good luck!

 

[motherofalldrs]

has anyone who interviewed at utsw received a rejection letter yet? I got one from TAMU, but haven't told my children 'cause they wouldn't understand. My husband knows and is stunned. He hadn't even let himself consider the possibility that I wouldn't get in to my first choice. So does anyone know anything about medical schools in Mexico? I heard that Guadalajara used to be good but has declined.

Apparently the Match may be out for next year, according to Lane. 😱

Was Tamu your first choice? Did you interview there?

I'm so sorry to hear about it, Mother. 🙁 Let's hope that UTSW shows you some love. Did you interview anywhere else?

 

[getunconcsious]

Is class going to be useless for anyone else today? I don't know why I'm even going, all I can think about is this stupid match thing! It's completely taken over my life. I'll be so glad when it's over! Good luck all!

 

[mwhou]

have any other schools sent rejection letters to interviewees? (besides A&M?) - mails not here yet....but I'm not sure I want to check either.

Wow - look at that I managed to stay off of SDN for almost 12 hrs! Back to more distractions...

 

[runner1979]

We're inside 12 hours now!!!! Whoop!!!

So, what time are you guys going to start the repetitive refreshing of your status pages?!?!

 

[EvoDevo]

10:30 p.m. One never knows.......

 

[USCTex]

AsianDoc, Come Back!!!

I'm going to start drinking right now...that's how I plan to pass the time...

Has anyone else seen Body Worlds? It's this traveling museum exhibit with these cadavers that have been preserved by "plastination" and then they remove certain parts to show you things...like one guy only has his blood vessels, or a cross section of a pregnant woman...personally I think some of these people could have made better use of their tissues and organs by donating them, but it was still pretty cool...

10PM, in case they post early. You'll know when it's up b/c when you refresh, it will take a really long time to load. It might not even load. But keep trying until you get through! The servers can take it, it just might take a few tries on our part.

I think they may actually post "Match Results Posted" on the TMDSAS homepage. If I recall correctly, this is what they did last year.

Anyone remember?

 

[fireorose]

my texas tech admissions status went blank within the last 24 hrs. Oh no!!! 😱 I ranked it number one... maybe it's a good thing? I dunno I'm gonna explode soon.

 

[jdovez]

I just think everyone should know that I just bent my thumbnail back and now it's bleeding. It's a sign of my match results!!!

I too have just saw a sign (though of what I am unsure). A couple hours after doing dishes I noticed that there is a long pink streak down my pants. This is the result (I am pretty sure) of some of the acid bath getting below my lab coat and discoloring the pants. What does it mean??!?!? Hmm....also, what does the burning sensation on my leg where the pink streak appeared mean?......hmmm maybe I should get some H20

 

[motherofalldrs]

thanks for asking! TAMU was my first choice. I thought that Filo and I had, you know, chemistry between us. I interviewed at UTSW, UTHouston, and at TCOM. I have a 4.0 and a 33 MCAT, but no interest from San Anotonio (?) Do you think they must have found my personal statement repellent?
I'm going to take myself to see The Aviator now. I could 🙄 relate to obsessive compulsive disorder today

One of the coolest things I've ever seen! My kids, girlfriend, and I saw it while it was over here in Frankfurt. I bought the book!
They were donating their bodies. Just think of how many brilliant people may be inspired to become doctors because of what they saw. I think of it as grassroots recruiting for med school. The other day, my son brought home a human skull from school (4th grade...and don't ask). He put it on the counter and said, "Look dad. Just like the show we saw!"

Oh brother.....lol.....

I ranked it 5 out of 6 and mine went blank too, awhile back....dunno if that helps or not 😕

Apparently the Match may be out for next year, according to Lane. 😱

Maybe they are tired of our conspiracy theories!!! Next year's class is going to seriously be missing out--no status dates to check 😀 😀

Good luck guys as we try to get through the day....I will be zoning out in Cell Bio.....

[AsianDoc816]

I'm still here guys. I'm just a very hyper-sensitive person, and especially today. I have a lot of class/studying/lab to do all day, so I won't be posting much until tonite. Okay, I'm kinda scared about checking my mail today....I don't know if a TAMU rejection would be good or bad at this point!

Okay, back to studying....it really helps to get your mind off of things by memorizing amino acids (Biochem) and reading about the science of emotions (Emotion--a psy class I'm taking) =)

 

[Lubbock21]

Me and another friends Texas Tech Status also went blank around 11 A.M. today. We both had tech ranked 1st and are wondering what in the f*** this means.

It's OK, AsianDoc. I think everyone has been a little short with others over the past week and now even more so since we are all a little on edge today.

Good luck! I hope you get your first or second choice!!!

You better not do anything until we huddle all of the analysts and come to a group decision. I'll go ahead and weigh in: I say its probably not important and just a meaningless glitch, dont worry about it! But, you better wait and hear what everyone else says too. 😀

 

[jbp100]

No Acceptances or rejections today!

I was hoping I wouldn't have to wait til midnight!!

 

[EvoDevo]

Sadly, UT-Houston is not displaying the acceptance list outside of the office. Sorry guys.

 

[USCTex]

"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"

 

[roja]

Is it posted at midnight CST or 10pm CST?

 

[USCTex]

Midnight CST...
but me and a few other people are on the west coast...

Sucks to be on the east coast.....

Thanks for checking Evo! Thats ashame though, would have been nice! Has anyone heard from Lane or any other schools?

 

[true blue]

Does anyone have a friend at TAMU who is willing to meander on by the admissions office? 😀

JESS!! Oh Jess! Where are you? 😎

 

[EvoDevo]

This thread is far, far too calm!!! 😛

** UPDATE ** UPDATE **

After the addition of copious amounts of H2O to sed pink spot and the surrounding area (yes I looked like I peed my pants), the burning slowly faded as did the pink spot. The pink spot is gone!! It must be a festivus miracle!! What oh what could this all mean? I need some Anal-ysis.

*addendum* I had a pair of pants from the same company and the same style which got a pink spot after doing dishes the first time (many moons ago), and the application of copious amounts of H2O did nothing to disappear sed spot. The current pants are the replacements I went out and got that same day, and the streak is gone, the streak is gone......

I know a guy from my school but I don't know how to get into contact with him....trust me, I've been searching for email address/phone number....something! 🙂 He's not one to check email that often, so I didn't even think he would check it today. I guess we have to wait! 😛

Anyway, I really need a new postman....I keep looking out the window for that silly red flag to go down so I can check and see that nothing has come from TAMU!



Good luck guys!! I'm gonna miss you once we start breaking up into our respective school threads! 🙁

9 hours and 30 minutes left!!! AAAHHHHH!!!!

 

[MadameLULU]

This thread is far, far too calm!!! 😛

Let's keep it that way!!
Hint: Alex, do not post! 😉

Yeah, where is Pink?

 

[::Seabass::]

Does the "real" se-bas know you are using his picture to promote yourself?

lol, are you talking about our MS3 Seabass???? that pic isn't him though it does kind of look like him and I saw him when I was having dinner with the guy in my avatar. weird.

besides, I was Seabass before I ever came to UTH so he doesn't have total ownership of the name 😉



PS - thanks for getting my back in the surgery forum a long time ago. see you on match day if I don't see you before then 🙂

Hey! How's the weather up in Nac? It's pretty disgusting here in Houston...cold, windy, and wet!

Could it be a sign? 😱 😛

 

[Assistant]

I had a dream that I was in the EXORCIST movie. What do you think it means? 😕

Yikes Ilona!! That can not be good 🙁. Tonight will be good though, no matter what 😉.

Probably taking a nap 😉

Just kidding, Mr. PinkAlex!

 

[EvoDevo]

No significant work is being done today.

I repeat, 'aint jack gettin' done today, yo!

 

[Assistant]

You got that right. I just got in from being out in it....brrrrrr! Makes it a good day to have a glass of wine though 😉.

 

[mwhou]

I repeat, 'aint jack gettin' done today, yo!

With so many of the applicants working in research/healtcare, I wonder how many millions of $$$ are lost every year due to match/acceptance/interview ADD?

 

[synapse lapse]

Probably taking a nap 😉

Haha I am here guys! Nah, I had class, then I hit the gym, just got back. Anyhow, I think I am going to take a nap now, I am soooo tired. Got my Dartmouth and Brown rejection letters today. That won't matter after tonight, I hope! Anyhow, this last 9 hours is going to be killer!
