[jsmooth]

[Leonidas]

What are your plans upon hearing good news or bad?

[jsmooth]

whoever on here finds out that they were accepted first should create a ubc med class of 2012 facebook group

 

if i get in i celebrate

if i'm booted out i cry

[avenir001]

is it just me or does 2012 sound kinda sexy...i donno, i like it much better than 2011 or 2013

 

i dont really have any special plans either way, other than celebrating or grieving with close family...life shall go on.

[Leonidas]

Maybe because there's internet rumors going on about a December 21, 2012 Apocalpse....DUN DUN DUN

[avenir001]

somebody in another countdown thread is wondering what's the most potent anxiolytic known to man...lmao

[jsmooth]

i think most even numbers sound sexier than odd numbers in general

 

 

i'm pretty excited to find out on thursday...either way it'll be nice to just know. unless its the waitlist of course...i just want closure i guess

Amanita phalloides... for that nice total sensory deprivation after a little stomach upset.

 

Only kidding.

[avenir001]

Amanita phalloides' date=' commonly known as the death cap, has been reported to taste pleasant.[29'][54] This, coupled with the delay in the appearance of symptoms—during which time internal organs are being severely, sometimes irreparably, damaged—makes it particularly dangerous.

Initially, symptoms are gastrointestinal in nature and include colicky abdominal pain, with watery diarrhea and vomiting which may lead to dehydration, and, in severe cases, hypotension, tachycardia, hypoglycemia, and acid-base disturbances.[55][56] These first symptoms resolve two to three days after the ingestion. A more serious deterioration signifying liver involvement may then occur—jaundice, diarrhea, delirium, seizures, and coma due to fulminant hepatic failure and attendant hepatic encephalopathy caused by the accumulation of normally liver-removed substance in the blood.[10] Renal failure (either secondary to severe hepatitis[57][53] or caused by direct toxic renal damage[49]) and coagulopathy may appear during this stage. Life-threatening complications include increased intracranial pressure, intracranial hemorrhage, sepsis, pancreatitis, acute renal failure, and cardiac arrest.[55][56] Death generally occurs six to sixteen days after the poisoning.[58]

 

sounds lovely but we need smth faster-acting.

[Leonidas]

We should have a get together after that day, but two groups...one group will be those who got in to party, and the other will group and cry together. lol

[jsmooth]

likewise with the facebook groups lol

[Leonidas]

Haha..the facebook group of shame "UBC Medicine Class of 2012- Rejects only"

lol. Has there ever been one for previous years? And what's worse is if a dude gets rejected several times, and joins all those groups....

[jsmooth]

Sounds like these last few days are keeping your minds off your finals instead ;D

[jsmooth]

true true...its more of just being unable to get out and have fun though. when you're stuck to a desk, you can't help but keep your browser on this page and get all excited when somebody posts something...anything....makes studying much more bearable. =p

[sfuguy]

[avenir001]

[nervousapplicant]

10 pages. I'm impressed with this year's UBC med applicants

 

FYI: F5 is the shortcut for refreshing a webpage. It may come in handy on May 15 when you accidentally wake up at 6am and can no longer fall back asleep ...

[pedro_md]

is it just me or is med school starting to become an unhealthy obsession?

[avenir001]

well, i had a dream last night that a friend of mine had left a message on my answering machine congratulating me about med school...seems i'm more optimistic in my dreams

 

anyone else having dreams/nightmares at this point?
