Waitlisters, quit whining!

I'm not afraid, I'll go ahead and say it. Quit whining, if an acceptance is in the cards for you this year, you'll get it, and a year from today you won't give a damn that it took so long for you to find out. You are stressing yourselves out for no reason. They deadline for withdrawing is May 15th. Therefore, most of us with multiple acceptances will withdraw by May 15th. Nobody has any "obligation" to withdraw before that, they don't "owe it" to you.This happens every year, you knew this when you applied and when you got notified about your waitlist status. The majority of us are waiting on fin aid/scholarships, I really can't imagine there are a lot of people saying "I am so cool I am holding spots for no reason." It makes me sick to think that I felt all bad on this website about a month ago for holding multiple acceptances, and was about to withdraw from a school that, at the time, I though I would not be attending. But, come to find out in the last couple weeks that nowheresville medical school has offered me a sweet scholarship deal, my #1 choice gave me nil, not even good loans, and my #2 has increased OS tuition by ~80,000. To think, a rash decision to drop my "lower school" and I would be rocking an extra 80,000 in loans, minimum. And this isn't unique I am sure. For those of you holding multiple acceptances, congratulations. You have earned the right to hem and haw about where you are going to school right up until the deadline if you wish. That is a privledge of being the better applicant.

Fire away boys.

Edit: Check post #4 before you hate me, and realize that you can't use tone in a post, and this should be read in the "look guys, I know it sucks, but we do have real reasons for waiting and you'll know soon enough about our withdrawals" tone of voice

 

[MossPoh]

Well considering I haven't applied yet I don't really care.......but I always prefer to avoid random conflicts that really don't need to happen. Congrats on acceptances but as much as you don't like the whining others don't like a random threat started whining about the whining....

 

[Whootman]

I agree that people holding multiple acceptances don't "owe" it to those on waitlists to withdraw early. I mean, it is their right to wait until may 15, but I think it is curteous to withdraw when you make the final decision, whenever that may happen to be. If you have made up your mind for sure, there's not really any point to waiting to withdraw because you technically have until may 15.

ditto. i've said all along that i felt that people who earned it can do whatever they want, and there are def. people in worse off situations than being on multiple waitlists. it's just nice to vent.

Certainly not trying to start a fight... and on second glance that post seems a lot more combative then I meant it to be. I am just saying that many of us have legit reasons for waiting, and I was INCHES from sending in a withdrawal because I was guilt tripped here, and that would have cost me huge. I guess I meant it more to bolster those that feel torn about their acceptances that it is their privledge to wait, and let waitlisters know there are real reasons for holding on to seats until the deadline, something that is rarely articulated on this site.

I loved your post. I'm not in the position of having multiple acceptances, but I totally understand applicants who hold onto theirs. You played the process perfectly in waiting for the best deal. Kudos.

I really don't care about the rest of your post (having just sent in my withdrawal from my 2nd acceptance, I can certainly understand), but what a dick thing to say.

At most schools the WL'ers will make up about a third of your class. You going to keep up that nice superiority complex for all four years? How's that going to work out when some of those "worse" applicants turn into "better" students than you?

In case you forgot, SDN is an open forum where people are free to discuss what they wish. The fact of the matter is, there are a lot of wait listed applicants out there who are anxious, frustrated, and want a place to find out information about their status, chances, etc. Just because a person is on a waiting list does not mean they are less qualified than a person like you. Many are probably more qualified and simply got lost in the shuffle. You should be grateful for you acceptances, as I am sure you earned them, but you should not put down other people who were not as lucky and now must wait for a decision. You have the right to wait until May 15th, and you SHOULD wait until you have all the information to withdraw from any place, but to post a snotty, arrogant thread like this (trashing wait listed applicants as your inferiors), is really inappropriate.

Don't really know where I said waitlisters were inferior. Many of them will be better doctors than me, certainly. And more than that, I understand why waitlisters are anxious, and I can empathasize with that. However, in all actuallity, in a year, it won't matter to the waitlister that they had to scramble to find a place to live. On the other side I don't think waitlisters understand where some of us are coming from in holding acceptances for a long time, and I constantly see the "You are such a jerk for holding acceptances to nowheresville that I want to go to when you got into rankedprivatemedschool and know you won't be going to nowheresville" when, in fact, nowheresville may just surprise you. And although there are certainly waitlisters that will be better doctors/medstudents/citizens et al., in this circumstance, categorically, those of us holding acceptances were in fact better applicants. It is the better applicant that gets the job/scholarship/class seat. That doesn't make me, or anyone else a better human being (in the abstract sense) but it does give you the privledge to make your decisions first, and I don't feel bad for excercising that privledge.

When that happens (and I am sure it will) I will give them a good clap on the back, congratulate them on their nuerosurg appointment, and not begrudge them of their privledge to have their pick of the residency litter. I don't think I am superior in any real sense of the world, I am very blessed, and very lucky, particularly in the applicant game, and I appreciate that. But the guy that wins the game gets the title, -- despite what Matt Leinert might tell you about USC being a "better team" then Texas. And Texas shouldn't feel bad about enjoying that title, even if USC was a better team. My analogies are getting stretched... but I hope you get the point.

"Certainly not trying to start a fight?" those sound like fighting words to me.

nobody asked you to withdraw an acceptance that you were unsure about. don't go blaming others for guilt that might have led you to an unfortunate financial situation. i agree you have the right to wait till you have all the info you need to make an informed decision about a very important school choice, but there's no need to bash other people while they're down. most of the threads about being on a waitlist are about supporting and encouraging each other through the anxious process, not to induce you to give up a spot prematurely. the world does not revolve around you, my friend, no matter how "privileged" you may be. i hope you don't go through the whole rest of your life thinking you are better than others.

 

[FenderHM]

Thats great just withdraw by May 15th from all but one school... I know a girl holding multiple acceptances that plans to hold all 3 throughout the summer until the very last second to make up her mind....THATS the BS we're trying to prevent..

You have to understand our perspective...all the hard work and anticipation and seeing less competitive (numerically) applicants being accepted over you for whatever reason, the new AMCAS already being up and still not knowing where/when/if med school will happen....

probably not a good idea on her part. i think there is a hard cutoff sometime in june when all your acceptances get dropped if you are holding more than one (could be an urban legend tho)

Alright good enough.lol I mean I can't say what I'll do if I'm waitlisted yet. I might whine a little because I'm impatient. 😛

You are sooooo right! It seems to me that Rockhouse is just a little to full of himself. It never hurts to have a little humility. After all, don't we all want to be doctors to help people? There is a difference between taking your time to make an informed decision, and feeling the overwhelming need to post an inflammatory thread on SDN bragging about your "superior applicant" status, and putting others down who may actually be better applicants. By the way Rockhouse, how do you figure that you were better than all the people who got waitlisted? I know a person with a 3.9 GPA 38 MCAT, multiple ECs, and 4 research publications who got waitlisted at the same school that a person with a 3.2 GPA 29 MCAT got accepted to. Now you tell me who is the better applicant, and that the whole process is fair and balanced. Nothing is fair, and we all have to deal with that. But SDN is a place for waitlisters to offer support to one another and vent. If you don't like it, go to the allopathic forum!

Well she wont be laughing when schools automatically boot her out after june 15th.... 👍

 

[baylormed]

Yes, because anonymous posting behavior on an internet message board is indicative of your professional performance 4+ years later.

Well, according to some SDNers it does. The other day I said "geez" and someone told me I was an idiot who wasn't qualified to be an MD.
Because it makes total sense that the use of that word in a post on internet message boards makes one unqualified. (read the BIG sarcasm here...)

 

[Rockhouse]

Boy, vast generalizations and hypocrisy rear their ugly heads. All the sudden I have a superiority complex, I think waitlisters are stupid, I am going to be a bad doctor. Next thing someone is going to say is that I probably kill puppies for fun because my ego is so inflated that I only care about myself and nobody else. I'm all with Fender, I think holding three schools all summer is ridiculous, but there has been stuff about "Drop your extra acceptances" on here since January.
Any BTW, DogLover, the better applicant is the one that gets in, period. That is the qualifier. I don't know either of your friends as well as you apparently know me, but I am guessing that your lower stats friend has some other redeeming factors, call me crazy, but it isn't all research and MCATs. And SDN is also a place for accepted students explain why it is we are holding on to our positions, support one another and vent... and apparently also to make value judgements about being kind and supportive all the while critiscizing someone you don't know. I am all down with criticism, but you can't tell someone to just be nice because we should all hold hands and love each other and in the next sentence tell them what a self-righteous ass they are and expect to have any credibility.

And I like my puppy deep fried, with a beer batter. Yum. 😎

[butmylipshurtrealbad]

Yeah, being a waitlistee, I didn't think it was all that bad a post, just pretty pointless. I expected it to be from someone with no waitlists or acceptances, or maybe even interviews, which i would totally emphatize with. But really, I don't mind that people are waiting to withdraw from places, I don't think most places will evealuate the waitlisters until after then anyway..... 😴...yadayadadadad

 

[theunderdog]

you see, waitlisters are not complaining that people have multiple acceptances. i know you guys with those multiple acceptances have earned it and we all congratulate you guys.

what DOES piss off waitlisters is the fact that there are some people out there who have multiple acceptances AND already know where they are going for sure who are just too lazy to send in withdrawal letters.

 

[RayhanS1282]

But really, I don't mind that people are waiting to withdraw from places, I don't think most places will evealuate the waitlisters until after then anyway..... 😴...yadayadadadad

My sentiments exactly. I am just a little wound up about May 15th not getting here quick enough. I just want a decision.

 

[ShyRem]

Not even those that are too lazy, underdog, but there are a few that have said "I earned them and I'm holding on to them because I CAN". It's not that they are too lazy - they are too greedy to let them go. This also goes for those people (and yes, there are some of these too) that refuse to let go of a waitlist spot even though they KNOW FOR SURE they would never accept the spot if offered. One even said they just wanted to see if they could get in but would turn it down 'cuz they didn't want to go there. I mean, really, WTF???

I don't think any of us who are pinning hopes and dreams on waitlists really have any problem with folks that are waiting for FA awards to make their decision. It's expensive. I understand that. It's the hateful greedy ones that we despise.

Well, it depends on the school. Some have a very precise ranking method while other have others have a sort of non-descript alternate "pool".

Not necessarily. Maybe the waitlister was poor and turned thier AMCAS in later, maybe the waitlister had to take the August MCAT, maybe the person who interviewed the waitlisted applicant had a busier schedule and waited too long to turn their review in. In rolling schools, there are alot of reasons why one gets waitlisted even though their application is good enough for acceptance.

My point in this is that only a egotistical jerk would ASSume that they are the better applicant because they got in and someone else got waitlisted.

ok,

to all you ignorant people who think all koreans eat dogs/puppies as some kind of glorified delicacy, you are WRONG. yes, there are a few people who eat dogmeat in korea, but this is not your normal dog. the dog that is bred for meat looks more like a cow than a dog, trust me. also this is a food option that has trickled down from the old days when korea was wartorn and really really poor with nothing to eat.

just because you eat sushi does not mean you would go out and cook somebody's beta fish and eat it!

anyways, even in korea, nowadays eating dogmeat is looked down upon and thought of as a neanderthal habit, and it is illegal to have any signs for restaurants advertising dogmeat facing the street. mostly guys are taken to any restaurant that serves it as a hazing thing.

fyi.

Obviously, ROCKhouse, you are quite the opposite if you are letting a bunch of nameless, faceless posts scare you into withdrawing. Grow some, ok?

What are you going to do when your patients start pushing you around? Or even worse, your spouse

 

[danesh23]

i can whine as much as i want....if you dont want to read it...then dont... we are real people with real emotions and honestly, I have no idea where I am going in 3 months... i have 3 waitlist spots and yes, I am anxious, very anxious... i know u dont think ur better than us...what u said came out wrong... u didnt articulate what u really wanted to say correctly... so everyone just let him go and we shall continue to wait...lmao

 

[twoACES]

1) if u have multiple acceptances but cant decide: chill.....relax.....u have till may 15th to decide. why would u let these "hurry-up-and-withdraw" posts bother u anyways, if you truly havnt decided yet? cuz technically, those posts dont even apply to the undecided ppl....

2) if u have no acceptances and are waitlisted: chill.....relax.....u have till may 15th before u can start flipping out (....i should take my own advice...)

3) if u have mutiple acceptances and already decided on where youre going, and have no good reason to hold on to your other schools: WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM? as kobe bryant put it so well the other day (in reference to that punk ass raja bell), maybe you just wernt held enough as a child.....need the feeling of extra security....lol

im sure this point has already been driven through the ground, so ill stop now.

speaking of the NBA, did anyone see lebron's heroics last night. kid is freakin unbelievable....

 

[Orth2006]

I'm not afraid, I'll go ahead and say it. Quit whining, if an acceptance is in the cards for you this year, you'll get it, and a year from today you won't give a damn that it took so long for you to find out. You are stressing yourselves out for no reason. They deadline for withdrawing is May 15th. Therefore, most of us with multiple acceptances will withdraw by May 15th. Nobody has any "obligation" to withdraw before that, they don't "owe it" to you.This happens every year, you knew this when you applied and when you got notified about your waitlist status. The majority of us are waiting on fin aid/scholarships, I really can't imagine there are a lot of people saying "I am so cool I am holding spots for no reason." It makes me sick to think that I felt all bad on this website about a month ago for holding multiple acceptances, and was about to withdraw from a school that, at the time, I though I would not be attending. But, come to find out in the last couple weeks that nowheresville medical school has offered me a sweet scholarship deal, my #1 choice gave me nil, not even good loans, and my #2 has increased OS tuition by ~80,000. To think, a rash decision to drop my "lower school" and I would be rocking an extra 80,000 in loans, minimum. And this isn't unique I am sure. For those of you holding multiple acceptances, congratulations. You have earned the right to hem and haw about where you are going to school right up until the deadline if you wish. That is a privledge of being the better applicant.

Fire away boys.

Edit: Check post #4 before you hate me, and realize that you can't use tone in a post, and this should be read in the "look guys, I know it sucks, but we do have real reasons for waiting and you'll know soon enough about our withdrawals" tone of voice

Hey congrats on your acceptances!!

You must have a lot of idle time to even bother about us waitlisters. Whining is all we got for now - it makes the wait slightly easier. As you can see whining is contagious cos thats exactly what you are doing as well. WHining about whiners that is!!

But besides that I'm curious how long schools typically take to let you know what kind of financial package they are gonna give you if any?

kobe bryant is amazing. that game 4 was ridiculous! i can't believe raja bell wasnt suspended for more than one game. its been a physical series, but noone on the lakers had tried to put anyone in a head lock and then throw him down

on the other hand, its good to see these hard fouls in the playoffs. i agree with everyone out there that says nba players are soft during the regular season, but you can see how much they want to win in the playoffs. I hope the lakers close this series out tonight, because a game 7 win will be tough.

and to all the kobe bryant haters out there who says he shoots too much...check out the ESPN statistics on most efficient players, not only is the second most efficient player in the league right now, but he is the most efficient laker ever. imagine how nasty they would be if they can get kevin garnett next year.....

come on now lets be real. kobe puts raja bell to sleep, any night of the week. we can take this to a vote if u want. im sure u saw number 8 workin him all game. and at the end, all he had left was a cheap ass clothes line. talk about desperation lol.

too bad bell aint play game 6. hella drama if he did......

kobe bryant is amazing. that game 4 was ridiculous! i can't believe raja bell wasnt suspended for more than one game. its been a physical series, but noone on the lakers had tried to put anyone in a head lock and then throw him down

on the other hand, its good to see these hard fouls in the playoffs. i agree with everyone out there that says nba players are soft during the regular season, but you can see how much they want to win in the playoffs. I hope the lakers close this series out tonight, because a game 7 win will be tough.

and to all the kobe bryant haters out there who says he shoots too much...check out the ESPN statistics on most efficient players, not only is the second most efficient player in the league right now, but he is the most efficient laker ever. imagine how nasty they would be if they can get kevin garnett next year.....

Yeah Raja F'ed there (not necessarily cos of what he did to Kobe cos I think Kobe asked for it - with all those elbows). I think Raja Bell put the Suns at a disadvantage cos of that play being that he's their best D against Kobe.

ALso in Game 3 I think Luke Walton grab Tim Thomas in mid air and brought him down hard and didnt get suspended. A lot of calls have gone in Lakers favor so it will really be interesting how the officiating will be in Game 6.

ALso I'm loooking forward to a show down in the valley of the Sun for game 7

Raja versus Kobe in "OctaGon" in da SUN

Go Suns!!

Not comparing their abilities Kobe outshines Raja for sure - But you gotta give Raja some credit as one of the very few that can guard him. Bruce Bowen is another guy that can.

And I like my puppy deep fried, with a beer batter. Yum. 😎

Does this mean you are Korean?[/QUOTE]




Wow! Tt's amazing what people will say when they can do it anonymously. Would people be really saying the things they do if they were face to face? I seriously doubt it. Being anonymous does not give you carte blanche to be a jerk! State your point no need to go all out of your way to be offensive!!!
HumpH!

ok,

to all you ignorant people who think all koreans eat dogs/puppies as some kind of glorified delicacy, you are WRONG. yes, there are a few people who eat dogmeat in korea, but this is not your normal dog. the dog that is bred for meat looks more like a cow than a dog, trust me. also this is a food option that has trickled down from the old days when korea was wartorn and really really poor with nothing to eat.

just because you eat sushi does not mean you would go out and cook somebody's beta fish and eat it!

anyways, even in korea, nowadays eating dogmeat is looked down upon and thought of as a neanderthal habit, and it is illegal to have any signs for restaurants advertising dogmeat facing the street. mostly guys are taken to any restaurant that serves it as a hazing thing.

fyi.

👍 👍 👍
Good for you, I detest jerks!

ok....theres a huge difference between a hard foul and a clothesline. clothesline basically leaves u 100% defenseless and your not even in a good position to fall down correctly (i.e. break your fall). why u think they took it out of the NFL too.

i would pay good PPV money to see a kobe v. raja UFC battle. and id put my money on kobe cuz raja bell wears some PANTIES lol
