kismet Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 No calls, but I went to check my mailbox (after two days of purposely neglecting it) to see if there was a 'thin' letter, but, alas, just junk mail, my registration tags for my bike, and a Chipotle coupon for some free burrito.

bike mike Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I had my cell phone in my front shirt pocket all day waiting for the call that never came. I was convinced that those accepted would get a call today - guess I was wrong. Let the stress continue untill monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinto Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Bgdog: do you guys have a white coat ceremony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgdog Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Bgdog: do you guys have a white coat ceremony? Yes, school starts in June and the White Coat is in October. You start being taped seeing "actor" patients around then so I think that's why they have it so early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahlon Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Good luck to those of you still waiting to hear and congrats to those who did hear! I am applying to the program this year, class of 2015 (seems so far away), but was wondering what kind of experience and academics you guys had under your belt to even make it to the validation sessions. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doxy Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Still waiting with all the rest. Have to say I didn't get a Chipotle coupon for a free burrito. So I'm very disappointed. With sour notional boards, they also have "actor" patients, we called them "mock" patients. They can be quite entertaining. They actually go through quite a a bit of training to respond to the student's questions appropriately. All-in-all you would think that they saw Kramer on Seinfeld too may times. (does that reference make me old?) Have to say, I'll be keeping my phone handy the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do get accepted, it's buy one, get one free. I can try to split it 50x, but no guarantees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brosnat Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Bgdog- I am confused..class starts in June and the White coat Ceremony is Oct the Following year, right? Not sure why I am EVEN asking bc I havent been accepted, lol...but just curious by your comment. Thanks again for your responses :) Yes, school starts in June and the White Coat is in October.

Not sure why I am EVEN asking bc I havent been accepted, lol...but just curious by your comment. Thanks again for your responses :) Oct, four months after school starts. Probably the least of your worries at this point. Getting in, = most important, getting through the first quarter = 2nd most important. For those curious as to what the first and second quarters are like, search my past posts. It was pretty detailed re-the program. Any other questions, PM me. Good luck to everyone, this is an exciting time and will change your life if accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doxy Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Wow, we need to quit stressing!!! I know it is hard not to be so anxious but try to spend more time with your families, exercise, go for a walk and enjoy the weather, because in a few months we will be up all night with our faces planted in the CMDT wondering "WHAT DID I GET MYSELF INTO!"

tlabounty Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hope today's the day. I don't think my nerves can handle too much more of this waiting. It's making it very hard to concentrate! The great burrito celebration sounds like a blast- I want to be there for the ordering of 50 burritos with coupon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doxy Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 "I don't think my nerves can handle too much more of this waiting. It's making it very hard to concentrate!" Sure sounds like the classic stress response to me. However, I would include "excitement" as a common stimulator of the sympathetic nervous system. Stress doesn't have to be a bad thing, however in our society we tend to think of it that way. It sharpens our minds, improves physical ability and all the rest... In my opinion "making it hard to concentrate" is however a sure sign of excess sympathetic nervous system stimulation. Now I am getting stressed out, time for a run.

tlabounty Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Wow. Relax Doxy. Anticipation is good for the soul. You'll have plenty of time to over analyze once the program starts. For now let's just enjoy the fact that we are all in until proven otherwise, and something awesome might happen today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
