SolitaireAddikt Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Just less than four days to go. I've somehow managed to keep this off my mind for most of the weekend but I can feel the tension/worrying rising again. I have something going on that will keep me distracted until Wednesday afternoon, but after that I don't know how I'm going to deal! Waking up and checking my email on Thursday morning is going to be SO nerve wracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I'm going in with the mentality that I'm going to be rejected. Takes the pressure off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolitaireAddikt Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 This is kind of weird, but a strange feeling of calm has taken over me. Maybe it's because I have a huge presentation to do tomorrow so I'm a bit distracted by that. One day and twenty hours to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igeorgex Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 last night I had a pitcher of beer and hung out a non-med gunner friend to take my mind off of things. think I'll repeat that tonight... and I think by wednesday my nerves will be so shot that I'll just get plastered in hopes of passing out and waking up just after they've released decisions.

LupeFiasco Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Check this out: "The magnitude of the specific influence may be modest, but such small differences can be important in some cases because each year there are about 100 candidates who receive a score within 1% of the admission threshold."

Excerpt from http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/reprint/181/12/933. Ya I remember reading that, and I'm glad it was nice out on my interview day for Mac (lol). But its not so meaningful. Think about this case. 700 interviewed applicants, 200 accepted. Max possible score: 100 Cutoff score: 83 (200 people above 83), What if 90 of those have an 83 to 84, the highest score is an 87, and then things start to drop off significantly (with only 10 with 82-83). I mean obviously the nubmers are exaggerated and bs, but its possible that that doesn't really indicate a ton of people are "super close" to getting in. To be fair, while there are strict cutoffs and high standards, people range from 3.7 to 4.0, 31 mcat to 44, great ecs to terrible, all with interviews (depending on the school). That means people are not just "all great applicants", and there is a big difference between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychlops1 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 ohh...the shear micro-values and their macro effects worry me. Ya k lol I realize that was a brutal attempty at stats haha. But what I mean is 100 within 1% means 50 rejected that were within 1% and we dont REALLY know what 1% means... so it might be less of an "OMG YA WE ARE ALL SO CLOSE" than ppl might think.
