<p>Ah nice! I bet I’m the only one from Ahmedabad here lol. Good luck to you all! I’m currently busy with 25 + applications haha. I better get back to my essays! lol</p>
<p>Nitcomp you’re on my fb right? I thought you were applying to 37 hahahahhahaa</p>
<p>^And I thought I was having a hard time applying to 6. Have you contemplated suicide yet?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>25 + !!
What all colleges man … except the usual.</p>
<p>Hi there nitcomp!
How’s it going? I’ve seen a few of your posts on the old TiTs. What brought about the long abstinence from CC?</p>
<p>Hey everybody! How many of you have sent in your UC application?</p>
<p>I’ll send it 2morrow …
I love the app btw, u can tell 'em things in a much organized and orderly way and there’s loads of space too … much better than commonapp</p>
<p>itsmylife99: Which campuses ?</p>
<p>Heyyyyy everyone.</p>
<p>Umm yeah, I know thats a tad bit too much 
Lemme tell you my situation though :)</p>
<p>I want to pursue medicine and be a doctor. Now, as you all must be knowing, in America the system works differently; you apply to medical school after your undergraduate study. Now, getting admission into ANY, again ANY, medical school is a big deal in itself. Think about it, more than half (54%) of the applicants that APPLY for many med. schools don’t even get accepted to even ONE med. school. That’s how brutal those admissions are.</p>
<p>Now, a few universities have started to offer a very unique type of a program. They’re the BS/MD programs, where you secure admission into medical school even before you start undergrad. Isn’t that just plain awesome? No anxiety, no sweatwork and no uncertainty for the next four years of your life. I have friends at a few Ivys(who are presently applying to med. schools) who repent the fact that they didn’t go to a BS/MD even though they got in. . I mean, getting admission into a MED. school is no small feat. If accepted to a BS/MD program, I would be set for the next 8 years of my life. </p>
<p>However, as you may readily expect, getting admissions into these BS/MD direct programs are NOT easy. It’s extremely tough. One reason is that you have to show enough maturity and resolve that you want to be a physician. And the second reason, obviously, is that as there are very few seats for such applicants (usually not more than 50), the competition is CUTTHROAT (this word is so overused and cliched now but w/e) . At a few of these programs, only 1% or even less get admitted (ex. Northwestern’s BS/MD acceptance rate is close to 0.5%). You can’t compare them to Harvard in terms of difficulty. Even the most obscure and unsuspecting schools are difficult to get into. </p>
<p>Thats why I’m applying too so many of these programs (I just submitted 3 today haha. Already done with 10 in totality). It increases my chances. And I want to maximise them to however much I can, without compromising on quality.</p>
<p>And these programs rely HEAVILY on your essays (after a certain threshold, SAT scores don’t matter; they have cutoffs sometimes and they clearly mention them too). So, you have budget your time accordingly and recycle very efficiently. Trust me, it’s not easy. The interview is also like the most integral part of the admissions. First you have an interview with the undergraduate school (IF you qualify, that is) and then, if you qualify, with the medical school. And interview period ranges from Feb. to April (I might have to fly down a month before my IB boards 
)</p>
<p>(Some of this may have been extraneous and some of you might have known this, but whatever )</p>
<p>Oh and add all this to regular undergraduate school admissions and you’ll be suffering from some serious insomnia for a loong time :P</p>
<p>^Woah I thought we had it bad. You have my sympathy and well wishes. 
lol</p>
<p>Pixie, I never found anything wrong with talking about a topic that was discussed so openly on this forum. No need to single me out like that. But, anyway, it’s fine. Thanks for the compliment, btw! :)</p>
<p>Anirrudh, what does me being a “kid” have anything to do with that? Once again, you’re just mad at me, and are looking for every little way to pick a fight with me. Oh, wellz. </p>
<p>Nitcomp, I’m applying to 25 schools too!! Haha.</p>
<p>What’s up everyone? Omg I have to tell you about an Eton boy I’m in love with!!!</p>
<p>On another note, Oxbridge interviews are ridiculously hard. You actually have to study for the interviews…and yes, study. :s</p>
<p>^Yeah it’s ridiculous. </p>
<p>Who? Is it Princeton Dreams? IS IT?</p>
<p>Lol no! Although I think I know who PtonDreams is. PtonDreams and I have a mutual friend (from Eton) and I keep bugging him to tell me all about Eton boys!</p>
<p>Eton boys are hott!!!</p>
<p>I’m going to apply to Cambridge, but I most likely won’t get in. If that’s the case, I’m sooooooooooooooo going to do a study abroad there.</p>
<p>^^Hello bubbly, nice to see you back! Where had you gone?
I’m sorry, my intention wasn’t to single you out, I was just quoting an instance. But if you still don’t get it, then you shouldn’t have been talking about it on a public forum bdw. Think of what an impression everyone will form of India?</p>
<p>Eton? Topic for another forum, but anyone we know?</p>
<p>All righty, then. That was my bad. You guys shouldn’t be mad at though considering many other students do it. Oh, and all right, let’s head on over to the other TiT v2 to hear about my love life!</p>
<p>Bubbles, I think you’re obsessed. :|</p>
<p>Someone send me a link to Tit V2 please?</p>
<p>Kaira, I know. But I can’t help it! Haha, guys, I apparently, really creep PtonDreams out. I thought it was so funny!</p>

<p>^ I don’t blame him
Jk jk, well I suppose that’s what TiT v2 is for. Random boy talks…riiight.
It would’ve been so funny if it was PTon Dreams. I’m in splits just thinking about it xD</p>
<p>Nitcomp-Holy mother of God. Good luck mate.</p>
<p>I am creepy. But oh, well.</p>
