Hey all,
thanks for the support. some info for you guys: i interviewed on march 23rd and i got the waitlist letter approximately one month afterwards. i sent an official letter of intent to dr quinn when i sent the waitlist acceptance form. ( i also had emailed dr. quinn after my interview-although she never responded) what else- oh apparently dr. quinn was out of the office for a few days last week. at least that's what the receptionist told me last wednesday... i wish you all the best of luck. since i'm from chicago, i really didn't think i would have a chance- so i was really surprised when i got the call. i hope you all get a surprise as well.
any other question's you can pm me.

hey rsa...that actually helps, because i'm thinking some of the first acceptances are going to people who interviewed after the class was already full.....so i think they haven't gotten to those of us who interviewed before....and it's nice to know i'm not the only one who didn't get a response to emails i sent 🙂
and if she was out of the office, that could mean some waitlist offers will go out this week?

In the dream I was in the office and they found a list of names they had forgotten about (and a bunch of spots, apparently) and they called out a list of names and checked them off and mine was one of them. Not very realistic but I had a big smile on my face while I was sleeping I'm sure. Then I had a second dream in the same night in which I was telling someone about my first dream and how it was just a dream and then I got the actual email... then I woke up realizing that I'm completely insane and need to get a life.

but you're telling us about your dream now....does that mean you'll be getting an email?

Well that's what I was going for in divulging my insanity... it hasn't worked yet though.

actually before i got my mcat scores back last year i had a dream that i got a 40 and that everyone in school and friends found out about it. and funny, i had a dream i got accepted to usc (at the time my top choice) without even submitting amcas. haha. it was so clear and real. but it never happened. 🙁

Maybe dreams that exciting and vivid exist because they are so unlikely in real life. Although I'm surprised you didn't get into USC!

i would get very sad about it everytime i thought about it or heard someone (i know) got in. now im just over it and believe everything happens for a reason. i guess it was never meant to be. its still a bit saddening when i think about it, but i quickly remind myself that i should just appreciate what i do have and it works. sigh.

but yeah. i cant belive how real the dream was. i woke up and couldnt believe it wasnt true.

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either... it was crystal clear in the dream.

 

[camstah]

FYI: I emailed Dr. Quinn asking whether additional letters of rec would be accepted, and apparently they aren't. 🙁

We'll just have to hope what we've got there is enough!!

Anyone get a call today? I'm feeling better...had lunch with my coworkers, and man, they are so funny.....
and speaking of dreams, one of my coworkers had a dream that he was told his first grade studies weren't valid, and even though he had already graduated from college, he had to go back and redo first grade...and he saw all of his first grade classmates there who had to repeat too, and one girl was like, but i have my mba, why do i have to repeat first grade?!?!?!
i thought that was funny.....

 

[camstah]

has anyone ever emailed dr. quinn and gotten a response back?

 

[camstah]

you know what would be the best birthday present? EVER? yes, that's right, an acceptance......my birthday's monday...so who knows.....

anyway, the answer to the movie quote quiz of the day (which no one is attempting to answer anymore, so i guess this will be the last one) is:

Muriel's Wedding

 

[mullnk23]

has anyone ever emailed dr. quinn and gotten a response back?

I emailed her just today actually. Got a 2 line response back. That was the extent of it.

okay...any info that would help us?
makes me feel better though..i got a one line response (of course, my question was easy to answer...just wasn't sure if that was a bad sign...)

I wrote to confirm that I would accept an USC admissions offer (obviously) and asked if she had gotten my previous email detailing reasons why I wanna go to USC, qualifications I have, etc. She responded, "Thank you, we have. Talk to you soon. Dr. Quinn." I'm definitely not gonna read into that.

i would read into it...the response i got to whether i could send in an update rec letter was "Not at this time. Your file is complete"....and that was it....i'd take your "talk to you soon" line as a VERY good sign 😀 👍

okay, so i'm pretty sure i'm not getting into usc this year....i'm going to take the one line i got back as a sign too...oh well, penn state here i come...

 

[camstah]

oh, and i don't think i'll be bumping this thread anymore....

*singing* happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me.....bye bye usc...

 

[camstah]

that lasted all of about five minutes...i just can't give up.....
to quote one of my favorite movies (sigourney weaver is in it, and she's very cool)
"Never give up, never surrender!"--Galaxy Quest
sigh...i can't give up......i'll keep fighting till the end....

 

[kenshinoro2004]

FREEEEDOOOM 🙂 Keep fighting

 

[camstah]

wow, you won't believe what just happened to me...the saddest thing...
i got an email from penn state saying i had multiple acceptances because i had been admitted to Keck....so, thinking this HAS to be a mistake, because i hadn't gotten the customary call from keck or anything (but still really hoping this was true) i called Keck...and guess what? it was a mistake....what an f-ing roller coaster ride of emotions....all in the space of like fifteen minutes....that hurt...... 🙁

 

[Spitting Camel]

Cammy, my darling! Would you like me to go over to USC and kick some booty? Maybe they just need some sense knocked into them, huh? I can be the one to do the knocking if you say the word... 😉

Is it really your Birthday? If so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! May your Birthday bring you joy and happiness and an acceptance to USC!

 

[Eraserhead]

Oh my god that's torturous.... sorry Cammy.

OMG, I am so sorry. That is just ******ED! What the hell are they doing over there?!? The could have cost you your acceptance! The least they could do is let you in!

waiiiittt. im so confused. youre still in penn right??? im going to cry if youre not. i dont understand what happened???

 

[camstah]

here's what happened:
The Office of Student Admissions has been informed that you have been
extended an acceptance to Keck School of Medicine. We ask that you come
to a decision regarding your choice of medical school. Please notify
our office with your decision by (June 17, 2004) . If we do not hear
from you by this date, we will assume that you do not want to attend The
Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine and you will be
withdrawn from the acceptance list.

my heart dropped when i read this, but all i could think was, this has to be a mistake...they wouldn't give me two days to decide, they must have misunderstood something, this has to be a mistake, oh please god don't let this be a mistake...and, sure enough, i called keck, and i told her about the email that i got, and she was confused, i was put on hold for awhile, someone else came on and said, sorry, that was a mistake, they must have misunderstood because i called them to tell them you were on the waitlist...they must have misundertstood me...my response: "That sucks."

well, the way i figure it today is no different than yesterday..i'm still not in to USC....but to have been so close but not have been close at the same time.......that was probably about the cruelest thing anyone could have done 🙁

 

[camstah]

OMG, I am so sorry. That is just ******ED! What the hell are they doing over there?!? The could have cost you your acceptance! The least they could do is let you in!

yeah, it could have cost me my penn state acceptance...i'm glad they emailed when they did....

You should have cried and said "how could you do this? How could this happen? WHY MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?" and made them feel like crap.

welllll isnt this good news. why would they call and tell penn state...maybe they want you very soon...especially since you were on hold so long. dont give up cam!! thank G-d everything is okay now.

yeah, thanks, at least i didn't lose my spot at penn state...

 

[mullnk23]

That must be one of the cruelest, stupidest things medical schools have done. I'm sorry it had to happen to you cam. Gotta keep pushing on now and hope for the best.

yeah, thanks.....im still thinking that the "talk to you soon" in your email from her will mean you're getting in soon 😉

 

[kenshinoro2004]

Hang in there Cam... I think its a good sign.. Idont' think they have called any of my schools to tell them that.. that must mean they are very close to accepting you...but whew...close call.. until its in hand you don't want to lose what you have.

 

[BananaSplit]

They should take you because they made the mistake. 😡

What did Penn State say when they found out it was a mistake?

 

[mullnk23]

yeah, thanks.....im still thinking that the "talk to you soon" in your email from her will mean you're getting in soon 😉

I hope so, but I don't wanna get my hopes up to much and then have them dashed. So I'm not gonna think about it too much. Maybe not thinking about it too much will help you out too. Hell, it'd probably help all of us to not think so much about this and let what will happen, happen. Much easier said than done, I know.

i emailed penn state after i got off of the phone with usc...no response yet 😕

Wait, I'm still confused about how this mistake happened, are you waiting to find out?

Even if USC is "almost" ready to accept you... what would that mean for Penn State and why would they know...?

 

[camstah]

well, apparently usc called penn state just to let them know i'm on the waitlist (i didn't know they do this) and penn state misunderstood and thought i had been accepted off of the waitlist....and thought i was holding more than one acceptance...of course, maybe i should call penn state too, but it's east coast time, so i'll have to call tomorrow.....but why would usc call to let them know i'm on the waitlist? i mean, i'm sure that leads to mistakes like this all the time......and i don't think usc is almost ready to accept me....i think this was just an unfortunate and cruel mistake....
why does this stuff always have to happen to me? in a way it's funny, but it's also not funny.....i don't know anymore...as if i wasn't stressed out enough with everything..... 🙄

Geeeez. It doesn't get much worse than that. Except for maybe an email/envelope by mistake.
