CONGRATULATIONS to you both! That's wonderful news! :clap: :clap: :D

relatively prime, I'm only speaking from experience. My stats were not as stellar as some, but interviewers & adcoms provided me positive feedback b/c they appreciated the fact that I did a lot of activities because I LOVED them. And yes, believe it or not, I really enjoyed my thesis lab work...

Do both if at all possible; lab positions are usually 9-5 or so, so there shouldn't be any reason why you can't volunteer on the weekends or in the evenings. I would like, however, to emphasize something that has disconcerted me from the first moment I read the original post: choose...

Hi Drako, I would address it directly to the dean of admissions (or whomever heads admissions at the school in question). It will be more personalized, and you'll be going straight to the source. I also think that it might be beneficial to style your letter based upon how well you know the...

As others have said, you really don't need to worry about it, jmejia. The AMCAS itself, I believe, says that what you write in that section is by no means binding. They want to make sure that you receive your degree, and I suppose they'd like to see a continuation of your hard work from the...

CONGRATULATIONS! How are the two of you going to celebrate? Wonderful news, gmendese. . . no one deserves it more!! :)

I'd like to comment on a theme that seems to continuously arise when talking about Columbia, i.e., the surrounding neighborhood as "miserable." As someone who's originally from NY, who has attended college here for the past four years, and who has an unabashed and self-professed romantic...

Hi there. . . I withdrew from Cornell, FYI. :) A while ago, I also withdrew from Einstein, Yale, NYU, and UConn.

Hahahahahahaaaa, NO WAY :)

Hi Radioflyer, I'm actually across the street at Barnard, and I know that they've been advertising summer storage services on both campuses...I've actually been tossing the flyers when I receive them, but I'll see if I can fish one up for you.

Hi NB, If you scroll through the pages, you'll actually see a number of threads related to this. . . . You do NOT have to pull your application from any waitlists tomorrow. Instead, if you hold multiple acceptances, you have to withdraw from all but one of the schools to which you've been...

Good grief, the one right below it, for U Maryland, is even worse. I wish some of these adcom members would take lessons in TACT.

Oh my gosh, take a look at the University of North Carolina letter! Those JERKS! This poor guy. . . I hope that he's happy in whatever he's doing now. This process baffles me. . . . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Hi Gator, My premed advisor told me that a general rule of thumb is to focus on the content of the class in question. As a Human Anatomy class deals with biology, yes, it would factor into your science GPA (as none said, BCPM are the four categories for the sci GPA). This idea also holds...
