Curiosity: How did all us newbies get here over the last few months?

A friend who is a longtime member suggested I might enjoy the forum, and help out some premeds along the way. What's your story to have joined recently?

 

I see that many of us are new members and hundreds have joined only in the last days.

 

Let's hear from you guys.

I have been reading for a couple years but never got involved. I decided to become a member in March because I plan to apply this coming cycle. Now I am glad I have become more active because I can use some of this knowledge that I have accumulated about admissions to help other people.

 

Also, I am not in a traditional pre-med program and I work as an addictions counsellor, so I don't really have any other pre-meds in my life. It is nice to talk to people who have the same aspirations as me.

I think I first found the forum looking for some info about the interviews last fall. Or something else? I can't exactly remember. I'd been reading since then but figured I might as well join in the fun :)

 

Same with me! I didn't know anyone who was preparing for med. I had no idea how to fill out the OMSAS form, or what the interviews were like, so I browsed PreMed =D Didn't really start posting until summer vacation started though

Yup same here :)

So far I have found tons of helpful comments & found my niche in this forum to the point where I am almost addicted to this forum.

Oh man haha

These forums are just such a wonderful network of support, information and help. It makes me happy that most people here are so willing to provide information and give their opinion(s), so I thought I would join and try to contribute as much as I can. I myself found these forums a few months ago, and it has been a constant source of help, anxiety, entertainment, happiness and distraction all in one! I couldn't help but join in :).

I unexpectedly got accpected by UofA and UofC and wanted student opinions to help with the decision. Google lead me here.

 

Now I check it at least 3 times a day at work and once at home because I have med school on the brain! I used to make fun of my husband when he did this for [wrist]watch porn.. I don't think he's notice my new habit yet..

 

Edit: I should not post at midnight. This post made no sense.

Thank you so much! It's almost 2 weeks past May 5 and I still break out into random happy dances in my room :).

 

congrads! :)

 

P.S. Funny, I do the same thing too but for no reason. I didn't get into med this year, I'm just weird.
