Yes, I am serious :)

The question was a simple elicitation of peoples' opinions. I have made up my mind, but being that it was not a slam-dunk decision I figure it's worth hearing what others have to say. I already know which is more prestigious and can lead to a better residency, so I wouldn't need to ask that...

Ehh, I didn't think I'd have to spell something like this out, but I guess I do. Yes, it's 40k cheaper. But 40k/280k isn't going to make or break my decision if there are other factors. Also, yes, I love New York. But most of my NY experience will be within a 2 square block area that includes...

Hey I'm yet to see these 2 schools compared, and being that they both seem to have quite happy students and good research + academics, I'm interested in seeing what people think. I think both are great schools, which is complicating my decision.. Sinai's about $10k/yr cheaper, and in NYC which...

No no, I meant being accepted off the waitlist. They didn't just cross my name off :) I wrote an LOI.

I went to the library on some time off of interview stuff to study a bit. It is a bit old and run down, likely why they didn't show us on the tours (at least mine). Not huge, but there was study space for students. It was up high in the main building where the medical school is, and they were...

I got an email June 5th taking me off the waitlist.. All the best to those still waiting!

This makes it even more self-fulfilling. If they're choosing those who slaughtered the Step 1 to be inducted, they're choosing those who would have gotten into competitive specialties anyway based on their academic performance (I'm sure clinicals could still mess that up)

While APs have a large amplitude, they last only very briefly and therefore don't contribute much to the EEG (machine isn't sensitive enough to notice such brief blips). EPSPs and IPSPs stick around long enough to be recorded. Source: Garrell PC, et al. Introductory overview of research...

Thanks for the info about the start date, fightington. Good luck dr midnight... And that match list, :thumbup: - Keck's one of those schools where the price might really be worth it. The awesome board prep and unparalleled clinical experience really sends USC grads places. EDIT: I recall...

I've got the same question, if anyone knows that'd help with my summer plans..

Between missing entire swaths of class to run around interviewing/revisiting everywhere and having your total academic mindset and focus change post-acceptance, it can be trying. Maintaining above Cs shouldn't be hard, but it's not surprising to see academic performance drop during that last...

I've heard this. How would it make sense, though? That would require that either a) every single person they offered acceptance to went to that school, or b) they didn't accept as many people as there were class seats by Mar 30 as per AAMC guidelines, or c) they have a very flexible class size...

Hey guys! I'm in a similar position to boombarash.. Waiting on a Canadian school which would be so much cheaper than any American school, but their decisions come out very late. If I don't get in, there's a high chance I'll be at BU. I love the school's passion for helping those in need, and the...

Had 2 midterms, a final, and a lab this week :thumbdown, then I found out about 2 acceptances :thumbup:. Gonna be a fun night at the disco tonight :)
