But the funny thing is, I have NO idea how I could have done any better in those early days. I mean when I was 19 I thought that spending an hour in the library once every couple of days WAS working really hard. I just had no concept of what 'self discipline' actually meant. I sure hope the interviews start coming in! :) Thanks for the words of encouragement. <BR/><BR/>Benjamin--yes! The Caribbean! I know it seems too good to be true but it isn't. There are many many places to study in the sand and surf, just depends where you want to go...check out anatomyonthebeach.blogspot.com to see some photos of the really rough life of a med student over there. <BR/><BR/>Rogue--Rats. You just destroyed my dream of creating a super group of math geniuses that learn to count cards and beat blackjack in Vegas...oh wait...it's been done...back to the mcat books.Albinoblackbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222730484450544498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-33173522203314754712008-07-19T16:50:00.000-06:002008-07-19T16:50:00.000-06:00A career in gambling presupposes a familiarity wit...A career in gambling presupposes a familiarity with statistics. <BR/><BR/>Even Dostoyevsky did not do well at gambling, and he was no slouch when it came to brains. <BR/><BR/>It will pay off, eventually.<BR/><BR/>If only eventually didn't take so long.Rogue Medichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07598646309630074992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-29424481503451232472008-07-19T15:29:00.000-06:002008-07-19T15:29:00.000-06:00Caribbean!?

When you're forced to look back over everything that you've done for the past 5-6 years in terms of grades and hours, there's a level of regret that you didn't work harder. Hindsight is 20/20 is the cliche.<BR/><BR/>Fortunately for most of us, there's a lot more to your application than just the numbers and hours spent volunteering...if that weren't true, I wouldn't be in medical school! You have a unique story that makes you who you are, you have the desire to get into medicine that was not forced upon you by your parents like half of the applicants, and importantly, you have an awareness of the sacrifice required to become and work as a physician. You're most of the way there!<BR/><BR/>Now you just need to get your stuff done as promptly as possible, do your best on the MCAT, and the interviews will come rolling in.Bostonian in NYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16806067349785623843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-71240207162595709292008-07-19T10:39:00.000-06:002008-07-19T10:39:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bostonian in NYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16806067349785623843noreply@blogger.com
