now I can flame the D.O. topic because I know you won't have to apply there.

knish, you spelled "medical" wrong ;) congratulations nevertheless :clap:

When I was in Beijing, my photo was published in the front page of the People's Youth Daily (It's not Seventeen) because of what I was wearing at the time (straw hat, Hawaiian shirt, and sneakers) garnered the name of Playboy.

I don't know about you, but I'm so freaking out about the start of M1. Maybe some current med students can allay my nervousness and tell me what they like to do in their free time.

I know some people abhor this kind of question. I've been looking at salaries for different kinds of doctors. I know surgeons get paid the most but they have so much responsibilities. Family practitioners get paid the least but does that mean they have the least amount of work? If that's the...

Hang on there Pete. I would definitely fill out the FAFSA, perhaps it'll turn into a blessing.

Are there any DMS students out there still in need of a roommate or a place to live? I just got back from vacation and it'd be great if somebody could give me some pointers as to where to start. I checked out dartmouthre.com, but it seems like all the places close to campus are either taken or...

On second thought (given your diagnostic scores), I'm not as enthusiastic about you retaking the MCAT as before. I got 11 or 12's on the Kaplans and only scored a 10 on both of my actual MCAT's. Maybe your approach towards the passages is wrong, did you finish the section on time?

If the essays are meaningless, why include it in the MCAT? Why not have a drawing sample instead?
