I'm probably bad at this...

But when you think that you can't specialize in a competitive field because you you got an 11 on V and a 11 on Ps and ONLY have a gpa of 3.8.

When your Bible becomes:

PS:
15: 76-77
14: 74-75
13: 70-73
12: 65-69
11: 61-64
10: 57-60
9 : 53-56
8 : 48-52
7 : 42-47
6 : 36-51
5 : 31-35
4 : 0-30

VR:
15: 60-60
14: 59-59
13: 55-58
12: 51-54
11: 48-50
10: 44-47
9 : 41-43
8 : 37-40
7 : 34-36
6 : 30-33
5 : 27-29
4 : 0-26

BS:
15: 76-77
14: 74-75
13: 70-73
12: 64-69
11: 59-63
10: 54-58
9 : 49-53
8 : 44-48
7 : 41-43
6 : 36-40
5 : 32-35
4 : 0-30

What is that?
 
I believe s/he was exaggerating the percentiles of each sub-score. As in, everyone on SDN seems to have a 45T; thus, a 15 in PS carries a 75-77 percentile. The AAMC lists the percentiles in the same fashion on the practice test site.
 
Haha it's the old scaling scores for when the MCAT was on paper.
 
mejorization said:
Nah, this is the score table on old school AAMC exams. The MCAT used to be 77 questions for PS/BS and 60 questions for VR.

Well, that's a bit "old school". :laugh:

I don't know if someone mentioned this before, but you know you're on SDN too much if LizzyM is your savior (with Catalystik, Goro, etc.)
 
If you think you know how many people are using the PMOD account, and can tell their personalities apart

If you no longer hear a word said in lectures because your catching up on School specific threads

When your excited to see someone posted on a school specific thread, only to see +1 about a comment that has nothing to do with your current stage in the cycle

When you can't believe someone is asking a question that was answered 20 posts ago
 
When you don't want to go on sdn on your computer when there are ppl next to you so that they won't know about it and you can keep your competitive edge

This is somewhat scary, because even I wonder who it was (or if it was me) that posted some of the replies. :laugh:

Brilliant. This is the perfect way to get yourself out of a bind, lest you find yourself in Cole's predicament. :bow:

Not that I'm worried about someone posting something offensive on this account, and I think I'm the only one, but I actually use SDN under a designated proxy. :ninja:

Cole, on the other hand, directly linked his SDN, MDApps, and Facebook profile together. That's basically begging to get into trouble. Use common sense, brethren.
 
Too bad google doesn't offer to bring up its cached pages anymore. I'd love to read the public apology thread post-hoc. I was a late comer. Poop. Poop filled hot dog of the non-admission, just plain poop variety.

Thanks! I guess my VA firewall blocked that option but allowed me to follow the link.

P.S. My PI always said, "Don't write anything in an email or on the internet that you wouldn't want written in Times."

Since he's a gold donor now, he's erasing his tracks as to not get backtracked. brb notifying the cyber police.

edit:

I just re-read that Bonus Points link and found it hilariously ironic that he posted this 2 weeks before his current snafu

no offense man, but I think you overrate the importance of SDN. the best advice you can give someone on SDN is to delete their SDN account and never ever read it again, lol.

When you believe all primary care physicians had bad USMLE scores, and couldn't get the specialty they wanted.


Sent from my iPhone using SDN Mobile app please excuse punctuation and spelling
 
When you constantly check to see if MDApps is up, and when it's not, go post on a thread talking about how you're sad it's down, just to make yourself feel slightly better.
 
....get out of my brain right now. For serious.

Speaking of which, it's still down for me 🙁 Everything is awful.
 
I went to an interview and got my first acceptance since MDapps went down. LET ME UPDATE YOU

Because it's TRUE! :flame:

Sorry, I just wanted to use the flame goddess.
 
Dang I must not be "very SDN" bc I didn't know about a lot of the things ppl are talking about in this thread... Ie the Cole situation, there are multiple ppl behind PMOD say Whaaaaaaaaaaa
 
Dunno if this has been said because I didn't read the thread yet, but, you know this when you get your acceptance rescinded because of SDN.
