spaceman_spiff said:hey hey i didn't mean to offend you, i just wanted to make sure you realized that this forum is intended to be anonymous for reasons like what I stated. I didn't realize it myself until after i had been posting, which is why this is my 2nd username at SDN.

I went to interview at Loma Linda this morning. First interview went great! The second interviewer didn't show up. She didn't even call. I ran around looking for the interview coordinator. I was asked to meet with the interviewer later... she was at a meeting that ran late and she forgot she had to interview. Went to meet with her again... waited for 15 minutes... decided to leave.
I took a day off of work, lost about $300 off of my paycheck.... ahhhhhhhh what lack of professionalism and consideration!!!!!!!!!!!!
kimmcauliffe said:Oh I have no fear of that whatsoever, especially since there has been worse said in this thread (read from beginning to end, my friend). I'm not afraid to speak my mind on a forum that blatanly tells the OP that any medical student should bend over and let someone kick her ass, those that hold PhDs mean pretty don't have a toehold's grip on this earth, and berate the OP for the past week.
Any other comments, I'll be glad to answer!

As a physician you must realize that things come up and you can't always be where you're supposed to be at exactly the right time. **** happens. Patients get sick, things come up.
UCLA2000 said:It was extremely unprofessional, insensitive, immature, and self destructive for you to walk out of that interview. You did a diservice to yourself by leaving.
Havarti666 said:The interviewer was a PhD.
No, she really didn't. Is it just me or is this entire thread barely concealing a smoldering bolus of jealousy?

UCLA2000 said:Just so that you're aware, adcom members and student interviewers do read these forums.
The anonymity is in place to protect you as well as everybody else. Things that you write may be misconstrued or taken out of context and you run the risk of doing yourself a disservice by using your real name and having your picture up.
nicholasblonde said:Elaborating on the Anonymity issue...don't you think people who have an "MDApplicants.com" username are compromising their identity? If a med school really wanted to, all they would have to do is look at your extracurriculars, MCAT, and GPA (listed on mdapplicants.com) and then look for you in their stack/database of applications....they'll know exactly who you are in 30 minutes flat. No MDApplicants.com for me!!! or at least I'm not posting any info on it!
Havarti666 said:Yeah, such rage. I can feel it seething inside her veins every time I read her account of the incident:
kimmcauliffe said:But where free speech is a right, so is opinion.

UCLA2000 said:1. My point still stands. Professionals are very busy people. They have meetings to go to etc. They do not get paid to be a part of the adcom.
UCLA2000 said:When I said the statement regarding "as a physician" I was actually referring to the OP as a future physician who must realize those things. They can't expect to have everything they want NOW NOW NOW. Can you imagine the reception that a med student would get in the clinics if they kept pestering their team because their orders weren't cosigned fast enough etc.
UCLA2000 said:2. Despite what you may think I'm really not jealous of the OP. I'm a 4th year at a top 5 med school. I have nothing to be jealous of.
Megboo said:This forum is all about overanalyziation!
Havarti666 said:We put the "anal" in overanalyze.
theunderdog said:see above story.
i was actually reinvited back to columbia for another interview. i think my interviewer realized he was at fault and demanded a second interview.
i went back to columbia for a 2nd time. this time, i actually met the associate dean, who then apologized to me! after my interview, i was told to expect good news.
moral of the story: stand up for yourself always, regardless of your candidacy. your decision to pick that school is as equally important as their decision to pick you.

Iluvmatt said:You're weird. You're a turd for looking at a post that do not interest you.
Havarti666 said:For the life of me, I cannot fathom why some people on this thread wish to extrapolate the OP's actions here into a global assessment of her character...

Kim, Your too hot to worry about such "crap".kimmcauliffe said:SPOOOOOON!!! Don't say it! You will be banned forever from SDN by the thought police!!!

oh, behave. You are hot though. Just an observation.kimmcauliffe said:Jbone, now YOU are my new hero.

kimmcauliffe said:Megboo, you are my new hero. You said what should have been done a week ago, and I said it too, but I used the word 'turd' and now I am being attacked by anonymous users.
Megboo said:Thanks, Kim. Your picture does look pretty, but I thought you said that wasn't you? (either way it's cool). And your blog is pretty funny!
MarzH05 said:And funny also. Her blog site had me dying. If only more premeds were down to earth.
