Congrats cyclingmo and BabyJ!
k it's been a while, and i don't mean to conjure up more paranoia..but has anyone's LMFU been changed recently? mine did, but i'm thinking it's related to the fact that i created my 2009 application..
Let's not go down that dark, dark road.

Congrats BabyJ!!! Did you know what your position was on the waitlist?
I'm hoping for A&M to accept me so I can live close to my family
Haha, I missed you guys too! It was hard to break the addiction ....... and now i'm falling off the wagon again.
I had gone out of the country to UAE and a few neighbouring countries to visit family and friends. But during my trip I received the great news of my acceptance into the Texas Tech MD/PhD Program. I'm still in shock and can't really believe that it's finally happening. In about 2 weeks i'll be packing my bags to move from Houston to Lubbock.
On a separate note, I need you guys' help once again. I'm really confused and lost as far as picking a department for my PhD goes. I have no idea how to start. I wanted to start by looking at all the projects the facultry are involved in, and seeing which ones interest me the most, but I can't find that list on Tech's website. Any suggestions?
Before the 15th. Best of luck to everyone still waiting; apparently there has been some movement!!
seeing everyone get accepted off the waitlist is both encouraging and discouraging.

Yeah the whole process for me has just been waiting. My three interviews were all in august. So that was almost 5 months waiting for the match. I'm trying to think I won't get in off the waitlist and just try my best again for next year.
HerrTex, any updates on Tech's waitlist? I called yesterday, but they didn't seem eager to give me any info other than they haven't selected anyone from it yet.
Thanks.

I am writing part two of the Special Experiences essay. Here is what I have down so far(opinions desired):
"Having a father that was a heart patient has brought challenges to my life I had
never anticipated. His unexpected death shortly after Christmas left me in
emotional and financial turmoil. I had been on many codes over the past three
years, but never expected one to be for my father. Caring for him ever since
his heart surgery in 2003 has been a gratifying experience, even though it
sometimes created problems for my academic schedule.
Each new hurdle that I had to face has tempered my resolve. By chance, I lost
two loved ones at the end of 2007 and almost two others. Regardless, I have
kept my focus on school, volunteering and a research program."
I still have more to add; I am putting it here since it is TMDSAS specific.
One thing I am trying to get across is the following-
Last part of 2007, the following evens occurred:
-Late Oct, my twin tried to kill herself by OD'ing on Tylenol
-Late Nov, my grandmother(father's mother) is diagnosed with esophageal cancer
-Right after Christmas, my father dies
-Two weeks later, one of his aunts is hospitalized
-Two weeks later, another one of his aunts is hospitalized
-Early Feb, the second Aunt dies
-Since the first of the year, I've had my finances and schedule congested with matters regarding the estate(he left a will he was very close to having signed/notarized).
Any opinions on the best way to convey this? Is this suited more for the first essay?
I'm touching on a little bit of this for my PS, but that's sort of for another thread.

I don't think it's important to include the doctor's name, but it wouldn't hurt anything either.hey guys I have a question. I just got done shadowing an emergency medicine doctor and want to send an update to Filo. Should I include the name of the doctor or no? and are you guys mailing the updates or emailing?

Email is probably the fastest way to send updates, but you do run the risk that he just deletes it and moves on. Not likely, but possible.
