South Carolina!!! #1 choice

I'm gonna sit in the VA ICU and twiddle my thumbs until rounds are over...then calmly go home and win the NCAA National Championship with South Carolina on March Madness 06....maybe I'll play with my child for a moment or say hello to my wife...who knows?

My list: South Carolina Louisville East Carolina Florida MCG Vandy Hope all goes well on Match Day!!!

I had an interviwer @ Emory who was a psychologist...from the same hometown too...and she was the most uptight of the people I interviewed with...scripted is the better word. She was the only person in all my interviews to ask "Why should we choose you?"

I was just curious if anyone had any information about LSU and Tulane, will they be accepting residency applications this year. With all the devastation in the area I would be surprised. To all those who make there homes or have family in NO or the Gulfcoast my prayers are with you.

I scored around 340 on the NBME form 1 less than a week before my exam date and I scored 211...it kinda depends on what you're aming for. If the score spooked you it may be best to postpone and regroup to regain perspective. If you are fairly confident in what you know then postponing will only...
