To pass the waiting time

[cling]

Prisoners read books to pass the time, but whatabout postinteview premeds?

They stop reading books! For kicks I went to careercruising and did their little diddly and my top 3 careers were:

 

1) Vet

2) Dancer

3) Computer engineer

 

Diddle it yourself @ http://www.careercruising.com/ and post yours!

[med hopeful]

don't do what I do-

every day pick a new element of the interview to pick apart and tell yourself you are rejected for.

[lostintime]

Lol I still say the actual work is harder =P Waiting is hard yes...but the anxiety before interviews is worse.

 

Ask me again after my exams are over, and I'll probably answer differently heh.

[lostintime]

But I kind of like the feeling that there's NOTHING more I can do *grins*. Although that brings me back to the point of all the things I COULD have done more/better. But...I'm not going to go there....*resists urges*

Out of curiousity, is there anybody out there who thinks they are getting in for sure?

 

You know, you have high grades and all other things and you feel like your interview performance was soooo good that they will never ever even consider rejecting you..Anyone?

 

 

Be honest.

 

Ha! No way!

 

I felt that way the first and second times I interviewed and was completely crushed the second time I ended up on the bad waitlist.

 

I'm taking the opposite approach this year, setting myself up for disappointment from the start... not sure if it's going to work, though!

[agentchris]

This is basically my take: I alternate hourly from the thought that there is no way I'm getting rejected to the thought that there is no way I'm getting accepted...so I guess it all averages out to there being no way I know how I did:confused:

I'm with agentchris, although I do feel better overall about my interview then I did last year.

[stentgirl]

I agree with fluctuating hourly. I try to keep reminding myself that I really did enjoy speaking to the interviewers and felt good with myself when I left (10 mins later is another story altogether). I am a graduate applicant though so while I feel confident with my accomplishments at that level, I still don't know how my undergrad comes into play (3.55) and how exactly this is all weighted. The calculations become exhausting...I empathize with you guys and wish you well.

want to go camping and forget about all this during 4.20?

That just made me realize, I have a pharmacology exam on the 20th. I wonder how people will be sampling some course material after (or before??) the exam, haha.

I don't know about you guys but the playoffs start tonight and will extend way past the May 15th deadline. For me, that is the perfect way to pass the time!

 

I suggest watching the rangers since they will win the cup, plus you can check out Jaromir Jagr's new beard, it's interesting lol.

[tarzan_55]

go sens go!!

I don't know who forgot to send you the memo, but it's going to be Habs winning in the east, at least. The west is so crazy good this year that I can only hope Detroit, Dallas or Anaheim limp their way to the cup finals with several injuries so that Montreal has a better chance of walking away with the cup.

19 days left.

 

 

 

 

am i the only one who's dreaming up scenarios of acceptance / rejection?

[mr.chuck]

I feel like vomiting every time I think about what may happen on May 15. I'm definitely not looking forward to checking my email on that day, lol.

[maserati]

i thought i was too playful in my interview.

So long as you took turns playing your Nintendo DS, I think you're fine.

You have to share!

 

The bad cops I had didnt want to ...

[maserati]

i told them i had vodka in my water bottle, they laughed and asked me to share that.

 

 

 

 

 

who's in the french stream waiting?

[Jixe]

i told them i had vodka in my water bottle, they laughed and asked me to share that.

 

THAT'S AWESOME. Hahaha.

[tooty]

i thought i was too playful in my interview.

 

Me too. It was nerves that made me make a couple stupid jokes.

 

Will they think I'm retarded and reject me?

[stentgirl]

maybe not for the jokes, but perhaps for the use of 'retarded' as slang.

well to pass the time, and for those with multiple interviews, why not talk about the relative strengths and weaknesses of ottawa vs other schools? the "ottawa vs school x vs school y" threads all seem to pop up after may 15th, and probably rub a lot of people the wrong way, so why not start them now when everyone has no idea if or where they've gotten in (and are therefore not biased or irritated by these questions)?

[cling]

In my case, Yale>UofT>UWO>Ottawa>Mac
