Guest Namgalsip Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Does anyone else feel like walking around with a post-it note stuck to their forehead saying "No, I haven't heard back yet!"? (with lots of different emoticons of course:p :lol ) It seems like everywhere I go, people ask me if I got in. For the first little while it was fine but now I feel like I have to repeat myself 100 times a day. I should make people write down the date on their hands so they stop asking. Well, it's not too long now....GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Nams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest me maniac Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Namgalsip, I here ya'! Seems everyone I know is asking "well, did you get in?" at every corner. There's a doc I work with, he used to ask me every day if I had heard. Finally, I told him that I promise he would be the first one I tell when I hear anything. he promised not to "bug" be anymore.... now whenever he walks by, he just raises his eyebrows as if to ask, but never actually says the words. It has become a bit of a joke! The only thing I am not looking forward to is telling people I didn't make it in...... just like I had to do last year. You have to swallow all your pride and bury your ego every time someone asks you. That hurts! Oh, well... hopefully I won't have to do that again this year! me ps. Even my husband asks me "any mail today?" when he knows full well I won't be hearing for a while. Funny thing is, I am addicted to this forum and everytime he catches me on it (only about 10 times a day!), he asks " well, has anybody on "that website" heard if they got in?"

Guest UWOMED2005 Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 I remember joking about the same thing, but using a permanent marker to write "JUNE 1ST!!!!! DON'T ASK" on my forehead instead. Man, I hated my friends and family that month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thelaze Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 That's hilarious, I'm going through the exact same thing. I can't even begin to estimate the number of times I've said "First week of June. Still waiting". It's like no one can remember but they're still all dying to know. Now I'm terrified that I've over emphasized the "first week of June" thing, and come June 1 I'm going to be fielding a flood of phone calls. I should had said June 10 or something so that if it's bad news at least I'd have an extra few days to steel myself before entering the fray of curious well-wishers. Or maybe I should have just kept the whole thing a secret... :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aneliz Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 I remember doing this last year....man does it suck....but don't worry, June 1 will come...and it will be a life altering day!

Guest MayFlower1 Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Nagamslip, As a second time applicant, my friends and family are aware that asking "have you heard yet" at this time of year may have extreme and untoward consequences...ha ha. I wish I could repel the West Nile Virus mosquitos as well... Oh, and by the way, the national pill-o-meter says...gulp [as Mayflower swallows his celebrex this morning] only 23 more days until May 30th!

Guest therealcrackers Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Alright, I admit this is silly, but I was inspired; I hope you guys enjoy it. "The Wait" (to "The Weight" by The Band) I just finished undergrad, now I’m feelin about half past dead I just need some solace for my application dread. "Hey, mister, can you tell me when I’ll hear from schools of med?" He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said. Take some time off peachy, take some time for free; Take some time off chieka, And (and) (and) you’ll hear about meds from me. I picked up my schoolbag, I went lookin' for some early news; When I saw TimmyMax and therealcrackers posting up their views. I said, "Hey, Timmy; come on, tell us what you know." He said, "I can’t, maybe by June the first or so." Take some time off Danny, have some fun for free; Take some time off MayFlower, and (and) (and) you’ll hear about meds from me. Getting really nervous, finding something we can say, We’re just going crazy, and we’re waitin' on the “Judgement Day”. "Well, asks my friend, what about young aneliz?" He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay and ask aneliz what will be?" She said: take some time off Nams, have some fun for free; Take some time off, Lisa(88), and and and you’ll hear about meds from me. Bad hombre followed me, and he found me in the john. He said, "I will help you man, if you'll tell me what’s going on." I said, "Wait a minute, hombre, you know I'm a peaceful man." He said, "That's okay, please will you tell me what you can." Take some time off hombre, have some fun for free; June the first is coming, and (and) (and) you’ll hear about meds you’ll see… Yes the wait will drive you mad, looking too far down the line, All of us have been there, and you can’t enjoy the time, To get answered with “yes”, you’re going to med school, you’re the one Don’t worry, soon enough, lengthy waits will all be done. Take some time off, Fanny, enjoy the time that’s free, Have some fun now, Fanny, and (and) (and) the thickvelope you will see… Cheers, Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dannyboy Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Thank you so much Graham for that absolutely wonderful message. I printed it out to bug my friends about the need for my having some "fun for free". So funny--I get bugged all the time about my daily need for "fun". I am a FUN FIEND. But now I can justifiably tell people that I have been ORDERED to have fun by none other than someone called "therealcrackers"....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
