you get excited about new emoticons, like.... *suspenseful music* the flame!


A long overdue necessity considering how much flaming we have going on around here.

Anywhoo, I'll start it with that. But like the "Funny quotes from 'less informed' premeds" and the "Memes that capture the spirit of the application season" threads, I hope this one keeps going so we can laugh at ourselves.

Cheers and good luck to those applying.

• When you think you need a 45 and a 4.0 to get into medical school.
• When you start an arugement, "According to SDN..."

 

[angemon89]

When you browse SDN between classes.... and just so happen to be selling your old textbook and when the guy buying your textbook shows up and notices you're on SDN and says "dude don't go on there. you can't believe the stuff they post on there"

True story.

 

[phikapdoctor]

When you know more about the medical school than the guide tells you.

I'm friends with a few SDN folks...

 

[Guero]

I'm friends with a few SDN folks...

Yup, me too. In fact, more than a few now that I think about it. *blush* At least now I have a place to stay in DC when I interview, though. Thanks SDN! LoL

When you think you won't get into medical school without 8,000 hours of volunteer service, a 4.1, and a 46.

 

[sinombre]

When literally no EC or combination thereof impresses you.

When you refer to Jane Lynch's character on Glee as LizzyM (although I guess this doesn't apply anymore).

 

[RomanTaylor]

When you think you won't get into medical school without 8,000 hours of volunteer service, a 4.1, and a 46.

That seems to be the prevailing dogma here, doesn't it, lol.

 

[Praefectus]

That seems to be the prevailing dogma here, doesn't it, lol.

It's the worst. I absolutely hate it because I tend to be a slacker...

When you scoff at people who do not know a single bit of info regarding admissions to medical school....

 

[kalbrecht17]

When you tell people you would eat a poop hotdog for admission into school X.

when you constantly check the school specific threads to see if someone on a date around yours has heard word back yet, and when they have you feel an outrageous spike in neuroticism so you check your email and phone constantly for the next 24 hours.

When you develop a crush on Cataylst.

When your a freshman and asking questions about obtaining a fellowship in x field.

When you ask questions (after searching and finding answers) that have been asked, in hopes that you would get some new "updated" answers.

When you know more about admissions than your advisors and your premed clubs.

I could go on all day but I need to study for next week....Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

 

[hobbity]

When "stats" = GPA/MCAT (as opposed to anything else) even in real life.

 

[MedPR]

When on the interview trail you have to act clueless because you've spent too much time in school-specific threads and already know everything there is to know about each school.
