reapplying after acceptances is probably the worst thing to do. not only are you subjecting yourself to the random process of med school admissions again, but all schools will know that you had an acceptance in the past that was declined. i think it basically tells them that you didn't put...

i'd say tufts has the better reputation as well as location as well. i have 2 friends who graduated from tufts and both are at ucla doing their residencies right now, so they seem to match at competitive locations. boston is also one of my favorite cities, so going to med school there would be a...

hahaha. 524 as too expensive? where do you live man? i lived in a studio is SF for $1040. my buddy lives in a phat studio in manhattan for $2250 a month. i think $525 is a good deal, myself!

my question is, who the hell here has a $15000 credit limit or greater (for the private school peps)?

i have to agree with missbonnie. same situation too, 99 grad, worked in corporate finance for 3 years, and will be going to med school this fall. i think i could've enjoyed med school straight out of school, and many people go that route without any problems. BUT, there are many people who i...

don't give up hope everyone. i was on the waitlist last year and rejected. this year, i got the call about a week and a half ago. (DO NOT DELETE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!!!) Instructions for posting: To add your name to the list, click on the quotation icon of the previous poster. Next delete the...

i'll be joining you in the fall (barring any new waitlist notices) and i've been looking too. i'm actually going to drive to school...been working for a number of years, and i hate the feeling to living right next to where i work/go to school. the area right around the school, imo, seemed really...

those posts are funny...but seriously, i would have 2 suits, not necessarily for the interview, but for future "engagements". unless you want to look like a slacker all your life, a suit is one of the best investments to make. whether it's a nice date, dinner, cocktail party, wedding, etc., it's...

i retook the MCAT and began volunteering at a hospital. my advice is to apply early, call each school to MAKE SURE your application, credentials are all received and pray.

man, all you lakerhaters must have nearsighted vision or something. yes, game 6 was very heavily tilted towards the lakers in terms of foul calls. no question, but did any of you blasting the lakers see game5??? hmmm, shaq, playing in the paint as usual, going for dunks, grabbing boards with...

if peeps were more like this orangeman freak, i'd think about holding onto more than one just to piss them off! :D but seriously, there are a lot of issues, like financial aid, distance to home, family or child concerns, that can delay making a quick decision. a person will get into med...

except if something goes wrong in the house, water main leak, termites, clogged toilets, it's all up to you to fix it and pay for it. as a renter, you have the luxury of dumping it all on the landlord. obviously buying a place, if you can afford it, is a good way to go. just be sure to put in...

i haven't posted on this topic before, but i just wanted to tell everyone that i got accepted off the waitlist today from slu! 2 good news in 2 days. the lakers beat the kings last night, and the acceptance. i applied last year and was waitlisted and subsequently rejected from slu, so this is...

in a lot of applications (maybe all of them), you have to check whether or not you were accepted to med school in the past. if you do check yes, that would be a HUGE black mark on the application. if i were an admissions officer, i would ask why this applicant applied to those schools in the...
