i feel i'm a part of the underrepresented minority of the felidae family. got good leadership experiences, especially leading a pride as king of the jungle where i often slept. interesting ECs too, in a previous career i was a captain of a spaceship.

 

[Dreaming big]

tim, why dont u start off?

 

[vickpick]

I'm Indian, 5'6" - like most other indians, black hair, brown eyes, and a part-time nerd.
I'm average. I have no stories to share - i'm seriously normal. I don't think that's a downer, lol.

 

[Hoody]

while working as a nurse, I once saved a guy by retrograde intubation. I was peer reviewed and nearly lost my license though (had an awesome lawyer!). I am, however, not going to mention any of this on my app.

Well, I AM missing a couple chromosomes...

 

[2cooleevee]

X or Y or both?

 

[orthomyxo]

My personality is so magnetic, I am unable to carry credit cards. I never say something tastes like chicken. Not even chicken. I am the only man to ever ace a Rorschach test. If I were to give you directions, you'd never get lost, and you'd arrive at least five minutes early. My reputation expands like the universe. I'm a lover, not fighter, but I'm also a fighter, so don't get any ideas. My legend precedes me, just like lightning precedes thunder. I am, the most interesting man in the world.

 

[chman]

My mom says I am and that makes it so.

 

[jturkel]

i have a belly button

lol

in all seriousness, i think these make me somewhat unique outside of the "normal" stuff:

my multitude of interests:

- state competitor in piano, extensive 14yrs training, including at a top institution (sent in a CD of one of my competitions to admissions)
- certified water ski instructor, boat driver/water craft license
- strange pet owner: hedgehog, bearded dragon, chameleon
- i do lots of work on cars, generally over 10 hours a week (motor swaps, turbo/supercharger applications, tuning, regular easy stuff (fluids, plugs/wires, electrical, etc)

any chance you prefer drinking dos equis? lol

That guy's junk is missing 😱

 

[jturkel]

Wow, all that stuff is really cool! What got you interested in cars? I can imagine the lizards but what inspired you to get the hedgehog? Do you live on the coast (assuming given the water sports)? What sort of music do you prefer playing?

Cars.....strangely enough, my freshmen yr of college, my gen chem lab partner was really into cars and so was his roommate. slowly but surely, i started learning a lot about them and working on them. did it throughout college, and now i'm very involved with one of the largest car tuners/shops on the west coast. it's really cool because working on a car is kind of like medicine. diagnosis, procedures, parts, fluids, increasing efficiency/performance, longevity....everything has its role. it's really neat stuff.

so the chameleon and bearded dragon.....there was a reptile show in Tucson (where I went to college) and my roommates and I wanted to go....well one thing led to another, and i left the reptile show with a couple of new pets. the hedgehog was an impulse buy. i went to Texas and visited a pet shop and fell in love with them. they're super cool/neat and not that hard to take care of....they are legally difficult to have in arizona, but i get by just fine 🙄

water sports....i live in AZ, but i've been involved in sports my whole life (particularly baseball and swimming). i used to go to and work at a summer sports camp in Wisconsin, where i basically directed the water sports program after becoming a proficient skier, boarder...then became certified in those things and obtained a boating license to i can legally teach kids how to waterski and pull skiiers (7 yrs old +).

music....i strongly prefer playing classical piano, primarily pieces from the romantic period, such as Chopin and Rachmaninoff (my favorite two composers).

 

[lorenzomicron]

I'm from a country no-one has ever heard of.

 

[docelh]

Absolutely nothing special.

May they take pity on my unworthy self.

 

[broken tibula]

I have a rat fetus in a jar sitting on my nightstand. He's really adorable, with his wee little feet and his wee little tail tucked between his legs, and the ghostly amniotic sac floating around him...

[jkhanh]

Why should I be accepted to your medical school? I'm Chuck Bass.

 

[HolySmokes]

I go back and correct words that Microsoft Word auto-corrects so it doesn't record my acceptance of its corrections. I sing "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" all the way to the end. I watch all the credits on movies. When writing papers, I make sentences excruciatingly long, but prevent them from becoming run-on sentences. Lastly, I point out the arrow in the Fed Ex logo to people.

I did, until they banned me... something about necrophilic bestiality not being allowed on the website. Lame brains. 👎

 

[necoli]

My research in reverse engineering doors is unprecedented.

- strange pet owner: hedgehog, bearded dragon, chameleon

lol i have a hedgehog as well. not so unique there!

my marginally interesting traits, all of which are pretty useless:

• my 4th toes are shorter than my 5th toes. this is of great interest to small children when i wear sandals.
• i can draft clothing patterns (this is left-over from the era of my life in which i thought i wanted to go into fashion)
• 2.5-lingual (0.5 is for my semi-acceptable french. i'm working on a fourth, but it's russian and i've so far only learned how to curse. ХУИ! but i am told that this is the most important bit.)
• i've been working at a lab for 2 years but most of my money comes from selling my paintings
• i have an obsession with all things victorian, including pictures of dead people (memento mori), hair art, victorian era surgery manuals and anatomical atlases. i also have a modest curiosity cabinet, which includes a few skulls and a study skin of a mouse i made during my stint at my university museum. on my christmas list: resin cast fetus skull from Evolution NYC, taxidermied ermine.
• i've been doing yoga for 4 years now. i can fold myself completely in half, hold my feet at strange angles, all sorts of things which horrify my squeamish mother.
• i'm also a sleep-mumbler, sleep-walker, occasional thumb-sucker 👍

because I like girls who like girls

 

[buddahbelly]

I accidently downloaded the Intersect 2.0 into my brain and was recruited by the CIA to be a spy... but then I discovered my passion for medicine =D

Lots of applicants seem to have the basic admission requirements figured out - good grades, MCAT, volunteering, and whatnot. But what makes you different from the cookie cutter mould? Please share your personal trials, interests, outlandish stories, etc. 🙂

I played college football and had 6 concussions in 2 years- Pretty much all I have in my bag of tricks

I"m special (and better) because I don't make stupid threads like this.

I'm actually taking Russian in college. I love the language, and know the alphabet, as well as some conversational phrases. I also know a bit of Swedish as well. 🙂

ETA: oooh, you said a bad wooorrrrd 😛

I thought about taking intro Russian in undergrad but I figured it would drop my GPA and I could bother my fiance enough until he teaches me. Haha.

But Russian is so amazing to swear in. Just add prefixes and suffixes and you can make an entire sentence, nay, paragraph out of nothing but blyat.

That totally works, though. I'm sorta wondering how this class will go, but I think I might be above the curve, since I know more than most do for an intro Russian class.. but we'll see. 🙂

I don't know who you are.
I don't know what you want.
If your looking for Personal Statement ideas, I can tell you I don't have advice.
But what I do have is a very particular set of skills, skills that I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for pre-meds like you.
If you delete this thread now that will be the end of it. I will not make fun of you, I will not report you.
But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will troll you.

I teach frogs...Music 😀

Average and normal is the new unique

What makes me special is that:
I have numerous bad, very bad cystic acnes all over my face but still girls come to me 😍

Ah. Well, I attended Julliard. I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the Exorcist about 167 times, and it keeps getting funnier every, single time I see it. Not to mention the fact that you're talking to a dead guy. So whaddya think? You think I'm qualified?
