Well, the topic says it all!! I just got (Feb. 25) the big white letter, post-marked Feb. 20, 8 weeks exactly after my interview!! This is my dream come true--no questions!! I can't wait to meet you all guys and girls (paisley, isa, figure five, Jessica, Wahoo, Epi, and whoever else i haven't mentioned) !! I am withdrawing everywhere else!
Special thanks goes out to Becky and Vader. I am just as enthusiastic about the school (well obviously) as you guys are. Thank you so much to everyone for your support!!

Wow, must be a dream-come-true! Looks like you also get to stay right there in San Francisco. Congratulations!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
 
i dont think i've ever been moved so much by a post in my life.

after applying to around 60 schools, being rejected by literally dozens of places, getting your heart broken left and right, having your husband leave you, losing your job, and basically hitting rock-bottom, you've just gotten into arguably the best med school in the country, and your first choice. EVEN AFTER YOU WERE ALL DEPRESSED BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT YOU SCREWED UP THE INTERVIEW!!!

i feel like calling you up right now and congratulating you!!!

congratulations!!!!

Congrats! If it isn't too personal, what were your stats like? Any major achievements, scores, activities, experiences, or connections that you thought were extremely influential? I won't be applying until next year but any feedback will be helpful.
 
IT'S PARTY TIME!
 
wow!!!

Congratulations Lady in Red!!!! UCSF is a very nice school, of course I dont have to tell you that :wink: Its a great accomplishment getting into UCSF, lets just say that I'm very impressed =P
 
Wait a minute...

First of all, congrats. That's awesome. I'm a latecomer here, so I don't know the background to you story, Lady. But I have a question: if you got rejected from so many places, or anywhere at all for that matter, how in the world did you get into UCSF? Have you applied multiple times and done some amazing make-up work in the interim? Just curious.

I've learned that there's an aspect of randomness.. even the most competitive of applicants can get rejected
 
congrats lady! now if my silly letter would come in the mail....oh well. i think i interviewed a day after you.

Congrats Lady!

Now can you tell us the name of the school where you were accepted on the spot? :)
 
Congratulations m'lady
 
congratulations to one of our best!
 
Congratulations Lady! I've been pulling for you... see you in April at the second look weekend?
 
hey thats awesome, congrats!!!
 
Nope, I have no connections. My MCAT is really poor, but apparently, UCSF did not care b/c they sent me a secondary before receiving my August MCAT, and when they got it, they gave me an interview right away. One thing might be--while my GPA was not perfect, i had perfect science grades (not a single B in all pre-med stuff and bio classes). I don't know if i said that before, but my situation is really unusual. Oh yeah, the on the spot school, AS PROMISED :D --George W! still haven't gotten a letter, but, hey, it does not matter now! Thanks for the warm words!!
 
Lady in red,
Did you get your letter in San Francisco?
I am curious because I interviewed around the same time and I only live about an hour from the city.
 
Congrats Lady :)

You deserved it!!!
 
I think Lady should be the SDN posterchild!

Congratulations, as cited before me, you deserve it! :clap:
 
Oh my God, Lady, I'm so happy for you!!! I'm throwing my arms in the air again, just as I did when I got my acceptance. :clap: Everyone I've PM-ed in our little "We love UCSF" club has gotten in. I'm so psyched for all of us. I feel like I know you guys a little and can't wait to go to school with you guys too!

To everyone who's wondering about the randomness of this process: I guess it's random b/c we never know which strengths the adcoms are going to focus on. But don't ever underestimate a great personality (as well as perfect science grades), as we've observed with Lady's case.
 
grrr. got the ucsf letter today. high priority list. congrats to those who got in!!!

congrats lady in red. this is indeed your shining moment, don't let it fade. you'll no doubt do great at UCSF!
 
i cant believe this. this is such a great news.

u deserve it. congrats!!!!!! :clap:
 
Wow, that is really amazing! Glad to know that my favorite SDN'er is going to the school of her DREAMS! :D Especially after all that you've been through - you get to stay at home, go to one off the best schools in the country, and spend your days over the next four years with some very cool SDN'ers! :D Yaaah!

If I get to San Fran for my Stanford interview, I'm taking you out to celebrate, brandonite style! <img border="0" alt="[Laughy]" title="" src="graemlins/laughy.gif" />

Seriously, though, that is sooo great! You deserve it, more than just about anyone else I know! Just wait, and the JMP letter will arrive soon too, and you'll have everything you could ever want! :D

Again, congratulations!!!!!
 
Congrats!!! Feels good doesn't it? :clap: :clap:
 
CONGRATS!!! I don't think I've ever seen someone as in love with a school as you with SF! you deserve it, congrats, go wild!!!
 
CONGRATULATIONS! Good to know that dreams really DO come true for those who work at them.

Best wishes for the future. We are proud of you. :)
 
Lady in Red,

I have been waiting for the chance to say this to you: CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME TO UCSF!! If you have ANY questions or want to stop by some time to meet our class, let me know. Congrats again!!

-- Becky
 
i feel like i'm becoming narcisstic <img border="0" alt="[Wowie]" title="" src="graemlins/wowie.gif" /> , all that attention--from everyone! <img border="0" alt="[Lovey]" title="" src="graemlins/lovey.gif" /> I guess i must have really been obsessed with this school and it shows!! But seriously, this is so great, because i never got so much support from my own relatives! Even if they were here with me! you people are just amazing! for those who are waiting--like isa said, don't despair--it took the thing 5 days (!!!) to get around in the same city!
 
Congratulations! I wish you the best of luck there!

All the more sweet to hear after your difficult year, huh? I was SOOOOO happy to see your post. Congrats 1000 times over. All your work has paid off! WOO-HOO!!!!!!
 
lady in red, what wonderful news!!! :clap: :D :clap: :D :clap: I couldn't be more pleased for you!! :) What are you doing to celebrate? :cool: :cool:
 
Congratulations lady!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
 
Congratulations lady,

Go out and have fun to celebrate. I know I would. From the perspective of an UCSF reject, I can only salivate at the possibility of a great medical education that you will be getting there. Congratulations !!!!!
 
Well, well, well....

you know, it almost seemed to me that with as much talking as you were doing about UCSF, that it would be some kind of especially cruel world for you to not get in. It almost seemed like there was no choice. after a certain amount of discussion about any school, an applicant has met the quota and must be admitted. it's just the way it works. hearts are never broken when they're filled with that much hope. i guess that's something i've learned this year.

congratulations Lady in Red. You deserve that school, and that school deserves you. Best Wishes!
 
Excellent. I am so happy for you. That was an extra twist of irony for the envelope to rattle up and down the streets for 5 days. You never know what might happen to any particular package.

Congratulations. :clap: :clap:
 
congratulations! NOW GO PARTY!

=D

aw crap. so that's why i didn't get an letter yet. time to get busy and post 100 polls about ucsf... :cool: :cool:

congrats again, lady :)
