<p>I know it's a bit after the fact, but i wrote directly on the HPME app they gave me and it was kind of messy but i couldn't do it over...so i just sent it in. and i remember trying to use white-out, which didn't really work, considering that the paper was yellow, but whatever...it's too late to worry about it, so good luck to all of you!</p>
<p>ahh>< i had the same problem meadle! my app had a water stain on it, and no matter how much i tried to heavy books on it, blow dry it, smooth it out w/ my fingers, it still looked kinda crumbly and crappy on the corner:( also, (this is stupid), i filled out the checklist they use for their own. i thought it was for me to make sure i have everything but when i turned it over, i realized the card was supposed to be sent back to me. i whited it out the checkmarks so it was okay... but argh <em>hits head multiple times</em> i should have made copies before filling out the app.</p>
<p>You're not getting in.</p>
<p>You used white out and had water stains.</p>
<p>Means you won't make a good doctor.</p>
<p><em>seriously. it's in. now it's time to cut class and go shopping/play frisbee.</em></p>
<p>haha, lemme join the white-out club cuz i did the same thing...
and yeh, i'm with fengshuibundi, time to chill and go retarded until interviews.</p>
<p>how does water stain indicate i won't be a good doctor o_o but you're right. there's nothing i can do about it nowXD probably should forget about it until something kind of letter arrives...</p>
<p>Oh god.</p>
<p>Sarcasm hon, sarcasm.</p>
<p>haha sakura. classic lack of understanding of sarcasm...... wee</p>
<p>yea, apparently my application isn't complete. I'm calling them tomorrow to see what the crap they're talking about.</p>
<p>2 possibilities</p>
<p>1) mid year report
2) HPME recommendation about writing ability (I didn't use a language arts teacher, but a history teacher who gave us many essays)</p>
<p>Evilbooyaa, you've already gotten your status check? When did u send the HPME app? I sent mine on the 1st :| Also, the mid year report is not due till like February I thought?</p>
<p>do we have to send the mid-year report for hpme. i thought only northwestern required it</p>
<p>haha, tofu, going retarded for a bit sounds like fun...and i'm all about the cutting class to go shopping, lol...apps are in! no more worrying! But on a kind of related side note, did any of you applying to the BU program get your interview calls yet? I got a call saying that they were scheduling them for the weeks of Jan 29 and Feb5. k, just wondering:) maybe we'll meet there!</p>
<p>wow, congrats meadle! you already got an interview. way to go!</p>
<p>hey do we need a mid-year grade report for hpme?</p>
<p>meadle, I applied to BU, congrats on getting the interview...but does that mean that ppl who didn't get contacted didn't get the interview?????</p>
<p>and on a realted panicky note, I sent in my HPME app on Dec 22 (snail mail), don't you think I should have gotten the little postcard-y thingy back saying they received everything???</p>
<p>wow, I'm stressing now</p>
<p>don't worry about it. I didn't know that they got anything until I emailed them and asked if they've received everything (which they did), and I sent my app on the 1st.</p>
<p>Also, I applied to the BU program as well but have not heard back :( , hopefully by this week I will...</p>
<p>congrats meadle!!!</p>
<p>yeah i got contacted by bu...but not for an interview...they're missing a rec from a teacher, so i gotta get it in by friday...but they said they are in the "final stages" of going over my application....</p>
<p>and i got my status check for hpme today....</p>
<p>as for going retarded...i think i have unconsciously lol</p>
<p>Thanks everyone:) But don't worry, since there are so many of you who haven't been contacted yet, i am sure they just haven't called everyone yet. And also, wouldn't it make sense for them to tell you if they aren't giving you an interview? So don't worry!
Oh, and i haven't gotten my HPME checkbox (checklist?) card back yet either, but that may be because we just got back from vacation and haven't yet sorted through the mountains of mail...</p>
<p>and Don - yes:)</p>
<p>hey meadle, did BU also send an email/letter, or did they just call you? And is it an alumni interview or do you have to go to Boston?</p>
<p>they called me - i didn't get an email or a letter. and i have to go to boston for it.</p>
<p>ok I just called BU and they said they don't start calling for interviews till last week of Jan. and first week of Feb. as they are still reviewing applications and the interviews take place in mid February. They also said that they usually send out letters and/or emails.....which is contrary to meadle's post...</p>
<p>ummmm, last week of jan/first week of feb is when they DO the interviews, according to the message i received and the lady i spoke to when i called back. I have one scheduled already, which seems to suggest that my info is correct? (unless she is some random woman posing as the BU accelerated programs coordinator who just happens to answer the Office of Admission's phones?)</p>
