smw1817 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hey and thanks for starting this thread! :) I have a stupid question. When I got the call yesterday all I heard was "I'm calling to offer you a seat..." and then I more or less freaked out and heard nothing else. I thought I heard her say that Ms. Gmuca would be sending us an email, followed by a formal letter in the mail with instructions - or am I making this up? In other words, do we need to do anything in the meantime until that formal letter shows up? I'm so pumped... can't wait to start!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smw1817 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 OK, I spoke w/ Ms. Gmuca today and she says that we will need to send her an email to confirm after we receive the official letter in the mail - and that those of us who got called on Tuesday should be getting it in the next few days. wbconner - congrats :) I think you were in my PBL demo group.

maryjean Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'm here too! Have ya'll gotten your letter yet? I haven't. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryjean Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thought I'd introduce myself, too. My name's Mary Jean Leonardi. I am switching careers after 20 years in education, mostly teaching anatomy and physiology at USC Upstate in Spartanburg. (Obviously, I'm not a spring chicken!) I have been working a second job as a CNA in Brain Injury Rehab for about 15 months. I have a husband, two kids (12 and 10), two dogs, and elderly parents who live with us. I will be commuting back to S'burg, SC whenever possible, hopefully at least twice a month, as my family is going to stay here. I grew up in Shelby, NC, and went to Duke University. I interviewed on Friday, the 16th. And ya'll?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.haresnape Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hey guys. I'm so excited to be joining you next summer. My name is Sage Haresnape, I also interviewed on Friday, the 16th. Mary Jean, I remember meeting you! I had a question about apartments in the area? Does anyone know about what's near by and popular for the grad students?

acgilboy Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hey! I got my acceptance letter today! I am very excited to begin. My name is Allison Gilboy, I interviewed on Friday the 16th as well. I sat at lunch with you Mary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsteen Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hi Mary Jean, Sage, and Allison, Welcome!!! I'm Julie. Sage - A lot of Med/grad/PA students live in the two neighborhood right next to Baptist - Ardmore and West End. They are older home/apartments, but very affordable! Location here can be hit or miss. If you find a place here and want to run the location by me for safety I'm happy to give you my 2 cents! So, maybe a silly little ice breaker so we can all start to getting to know each other....what are you doing between now and the start of school?

maryjean Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hi Sage! Hi Allison! I remember you both. Julie - when did you interview? I am still teaching at USC Upstate - physiology lecture/lab and anatomy lab. I am teaching spring semester as well. And looking for scholarships to help pay for this!

smw1817 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 maryjean - I'm a Duke graduate too!!! Between now and June 5, I'll be staying at my current job as a medical assistant in a pulmonary practice, reviewing some anatomy and medical terminology, and knitting socks. I'll probably make a trip to visit family on the other side of the world, seeing as I probably won't have too much free time once we get started. Other than that, I plan on just relaxing - nothing too interesting here :) (Oh, and my name is Sydney.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.haresnape Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 AH its a good thing we'll all be demon deacons together! My Carolina blue self is feeling a little surrounded by all the Duke blue ;) As for now till June, I'll be keeping my job as a med assistant to a dermatologist, finishing up med term, hopefully reviewing A&P, crocheting a blanket (unfortunately Sydney, I cannot knit) and looking for $100K haha. Allison, were you the other redhead?? I'm trying to remember names and faces... Julie, thanks so much for the recommendations. I really appreciate them.

jsteen Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Maryjean - I interviewed on the 16th. Hi Sydney! I think we will all be looking for that 100K!!!! I just did some calculations on a loan calculator and it made me sick! At least we get one year of subsidized loans! Between now and June I will be finishing up my PhD and getting married - no pressure..right?! I'm still part-time working as an EMT in Forsyth, but considering dropping that. I'm also thinking about auditing Wake's gross anatomy. Oh and I gotta fit med term in there somewhere!!! If any of you are in the Winston-Salem area over the next few months and would like to meet for lunch/dinner let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowitschewy Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Has anyone heard back from the January 12/13th interview? I was at that interview and I'm wondering the same thing. I haven't heard back from them though. They said we should hear back late Jan/early Feb, right? I'm anxiously hoping for the best! Hopefully we'll hear something from them soon!
