All the big names are good (Verizon, Sprint, etc)...although most people say Verizon has better reception and Sprint tends to drop calls after awhile. As far as reception, its kinda weird...no matter what company you have, there are places in buildings (Hope, the elevators, etc) where you just...

There are lots of places to look at for off-campus housing. Most students that live off campus live in the "grad ghetto" which is the East Rock area. Science hill is also very nice as both neighborhoods border the park and have cute little cafes and such nearby. If you want to be really close...

akiks---Make sure that you let them know Yale is your number one choice. They also accept new letters of recommendation and any other sort of file update. Also, once they rank the waitlist...I would continue to call about every 2 weeks if you are in a good position. Nothing, however, will...

Hey you guys, It has been forever since I posted on these boards, but I just wanted to give you guys some insight about Yale. I'm a first year here and was in the waitlist position this time last year. The deal is Yale usually excepts 150 initially and waits for 51 of those folks to give up...

#1 I am so surprised at how much medical school is like high school. Gossip, intra class hook-ups, and general ridiculous consumption of alcohol is what school is all about. #2 Fellow classmates have some serious not cool prejudices and bad things to say about one another sometimes. #3 I had...

Lilycat, Gurl...you atleast have 167 classmates. There are still options, one just has to be patient. At my school, there are only 100 of us and it seems like 80% are in relationships of the serious nature so slim pickins...not even all that much eye candy and I think it would seem like...

Hey y'all, I'm loving my first year at Yale so far! It's really relaxed and we don't have an exam that counts until Dec. 17. As for my classmates, I can say the admissions office did a great job of picking some really great, down-to-earth folks. We also have a lot of free time so we are all...

Well, since you asked, I have to give my two cents. I'm at Yale and one of the first things they pointed out to us is that there are 17 students from Harvard and 17 students from Yale in our little 100 seat first year class. That's 34% from those two schools alone!!! Now, add up those kids...

Hey y'all, At Yale, they have a university wide open door policy to the medical students which includes taking courses in all of the professional schools including the Management and Law schools and all the undergraduate colleges. In addition, they also offer medical electives such as "the...

EllieR--it is Miss Spacecadet22 and I sent you a private message. Hope the info helps! :)

I'm not sure what you mean by mediocre stats but I had a 3.38 cum GPA and 3.39 science GPA and I got into several first tier schools. My secret to success, however, is the pitch...which involves more than just selling yourself. You have to be persistent and you have to do some work. For...

Hey y'all, I went through the process this past year and I just want to say that sending a thank you is very important and can be very beneficial. I found that emailing folks as soon as I got home produced the best results and many interviewers even replied and thanked me for coming in...

No you aren't late! The deadline works such that AMCAS must receive it by October 15th...the schools take processing time into account! Good luck :D

jdub and sandflea, the ten to a cadaver thing is true, however, when I interviewed last year they said they were trying to get enough bodies so that it would be 8/body this year! And Tufts is almost identical to BU: virtually same tuition, meager financial aid. Big differences: Tufts has...

Congratulations SimulD. I almost went to Tulane and I think I may have even emailed you about applying for scholarships. Enjoy New Orleans and Good Luck this year!!!
