When to change facebook status?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
When is a good time to add the med school I will be attending to my facebook profile in the "work and education" section after being accepted?

Are you serious?

Edited: What is the advantage to rushing to do something like this?
 
In your 2nd year.
 
never, because if you're serious about medicine you wont care if other people know. do you want to be a doctor, or to show off to your facebook friends?

Seriously, do it whenever you want. I would only be wary if you have a job or commitment that doesn't yet know you are planning to leave in August. In that case, I'd wait until that ends.

If you're not in that situation, do it now if you want! It's Facebook -- shamelessly promoting your triumphs in life is what it's all about.

Why not both?
 
When you are 100% sure you are going to attend the school. Would be embarrassing if you had to change it.

Your FB profile should be private to your friends and family anyway so I don't see anything wrong about posting the school you intent to matriculate at. You should do whatever you feel is right. I imagine many of your friends and family will be quite proud and happy for you.

It's a different story if you're just trying to show off in a public forum.

HAHA. Because I would be so proud of myself, like when I got into my undergrad, I would update it instantly. Like that minute. Probably be the second thing I do.
