...you want to strangle people, including friends and family, who assume that if you submitted AMCAS in June and it's now August, you must have already completed the admissions cycle and know which school you'll be attending.

Why do so many of these people exist in my life?

When you planned out a roadtrip across America because you've had so many interviews you don't have the money to fly to all of them? 🙄

When you constantly worry that one of your classmates is "1upping you"...and you're only a Freshman pre-med

 

[ManBroDude]

When you bug every fellow pre-med for their score when you know they just took the MCAT.

edit: yea, guilty 😀

 

[Morsetlis]

...when you watch PowerPoint presentations about stats of prestigious med schools' entering classes to find out how you could best match them.

You know you're a neurotic pre-med when you're in medical school and still can't stop being a pre-med...

Back to Histotime...

When you take the MCAT then go straight home to see if your scores are up....

Guilty as charged. We only started classes a week ago and I feel like I'm 'not doing enough' *sigh*

When you're studying abroad in London with a house full of people who love to party 6 days a week yet choose to get on SDN and study instead.

+ Download 4 different versions of LizzyM scores and trying to figure out which one matches US News Medical School Compass the best, making a list of 50 potential schools a good 8 months before apps are due, having SDN on the most left hand side of your bookmarks(above email, study modules, wikipedia, Facebook, etc etc), getting a badly bruised knee and first thought not being "OMFG this hurts so badly" but "OMG I may get to see a British GP I wonder how they practice here cool"

Withdrawal symptoms start aproximately 10 minutes after you walk away from e-mail/SDN

[mipp0]

When you listen to Bruno Mars - It will Rain...
...and you're afraid your top med school choices will leave you...


HAH...guilty...

THERE WILL BE NO SUNLIGHT, IF I LOSE YOU BAY-BEH!!!

 

[jazzhole]

... when you have three consecutive dreams about being accepted, rejected, and waitlisted from a seemingly random medical school and wake up with a headache.

 

[InvalidUsername]

when you resurrect a thread over a year later.

When you're competing with that Indian student you always see in the library for who can spend the most time in the library.

 

[passionformed]

I remember when I was younger I'd also make bets on insane basketball shots.

"If I make this, med school is in the future!!!"

Now that I look back, I wish I could have asked for a car. I want a car!

HAHAHA this is extremely true; I do this. LOL.

The med school admissions process is more ridiculous by several orders of magnitude than any other admissions process in the real world.

 

[princessbooty]

When you stalk previous acceptances at your school of interest on Linkedin and MD Apps.

ahaha this is so true!! My gf hates riding in the car with me because we are always listening to audio osmosis. 👍 good job bonoboMD

Your Orgo professor e-mails you informing that you got a 205 out of 200 on the final. You e-mail back and ask, "What's the class average?"

LOL this reminds me of...me. I got my stats grade, got a 96 on the final, and knew that I had an A for the class. Nevertheless, I emailed the professor asking the average for the final. Why? I needed to know if I was better than the other students.
