I'm thinking 2nd look is casual. Looks like we're going to a comedy club and maybe a party the next night! sounds fun. E'01, are you staying in the dorms? I don't think I will. It seems like more of a hassle if we're going out w/students anyways. Can't wait to see you in your halter top...

Hopefully its true then. I'm pretty optimistic on Sinai so I get the feeling we'll be hanging in the best cafeteria in NYC (besides the corporate cafeterias, I hear MTV has the best) this fall. :)

Hey Vinsanity, looks like we're in the same exact position. I received my waitlist last week and was subsequently invited to their 2nd look. Pretty frustrating since I really loved their school. :p Are all the waitlist...

Still waiting on Stanford and BU (does anybody know if BU is still interviewing.) I guess I'll call Stanford now to find out what's going on though I get the feeling that its still in a stack somewhere.

I'm 27, graduated from college in 96 (not a stellar GPA by far). Worked for a publishing company and went back for post-bacc. So far. 2 acceptances (einstein and downstate), 3 waitlists (Columbia, NYU and UMich). Go for it. As long as you're determined, you shouldn't have a problem.

For me, I think the key was critical reading everyday. I would usually spend about 1/2 hr or more reading editorials etc. on various topics. Mostly looking to pick out content and critiquing it in my mind. Trying to figure out good questions to challenge the author. Usually this allowed me...

I'd have to say the Manhattan schools, except Columbia, have the best food options. Who cares about the cafeteria, NY has great food on every block, or at least every other block. also, don't count out Ann Arbor. Again, didn't try the cafeteria but A2 is a great food town.

I found them not to be very close to the MCAT. the verbal passages were crazy long and there are mistakes in them. They might have corrected them since I took one of them though. Either way, if you scored 10s then you're doing great. I've found that most practice tests err on the side of...

Congrats on the invite!!! They should send you a packet containing where to stay including students that volunteer to put you up for the night. Look into Jet Blue. I think it flies out of LGA (if not JFK) for about $115 round trip. Good luck

All SUNY schools had a roughly $2000 hike this year and it seems like they're going to continue to up it for the next few years. I think that's crazy. A state school is supposed to be inexpensive. Also, I'm not sure how much financial aid the institutions give. Does anybody know if they're...

I'd say that if you absolutely hate research then Yale might not be the place for you. Its basically a 4 yr term paper and you would devote time that you could be out doing community service, gaining clinical experience or downtime on it instead. If you've never tried it then it could be a...

Apparantly, at Yale we were told that applications were supposed to be up this year but because of the AMCAS debacle, they actuallly decreased. Maybe the increase will be reflected next year. The good thing (or bad, depending whether you are a student or applicant) is some schools are...

I agree, I'm personally waiting until I find out from schools to make purchases. Depending on the school you might get a furnished apartment/dorm and like stated above many purchases are worked into fin. aid so it makes more sense to make your decision then. I've even heard of schools giving...
