I did a six year accelerated program out of high school so most of my info won't be that relevant. But my sister is applying this year and I talk to her quite a bit. I suppose key pieces of info: AAMC calculates your GPA in two parts: -science GPA -regular GPA Science GPA is pretty important and I believe the minimum at most schools is a 3.5. But that will vary depending on where you went to school, ie if you went to a competitive school the med school you're applying to will be a bit more lenient (since it's obviously harder to get better grades). If you have time you can fluff up your science GPA with side research, etc. The highly competitive schools don't do rolling admission. The SUNY schools do rolling admission so it's best to apply as early as possible. It's a ton of work applying and getting in; it is a super competitive field. Be prepared.

I'll be buying tomorrow as well. Just paid for:

My setup based around the Lambda: Denon DA-500 dac Stax SRD-7sb Stax SR-Lambda That doesn't leave much for the power or integrated amp though. I have only tried my Denon integrated ($500 used), but there is some real synergy in this system.

Bad ass pic

Are they handing out free pot in South Africa?

Dinner: lamb curry with stone baked naan. Dessert Taco Bell cinnamon twists, best $1 spent all week

Group buy on dynamat and cotton balls. Oh yes electrostats don't need mods to sound good

Is 20 gauge copper wire with poor solder connections really going to improve the sound?

I loved to get them when I was drinking and nothing else was open. There are a bunch of those stands in Manhattan that would be open till 5-6 am. I don't know if I could stomach one sober

Sennheisers are my bed time phones....zzzzz

Oh man what memories. Good ol' minya.

I signed up for a C++ class in high school to motivate myself to get the Mindstorm kit. Too bad programming made my eyes glaze over. If they still make that stuff I'd love to pick up a set. And I too sort of fell off Legos just as they started doing the generic space stuff. I have a bunch of sets where the theme was black and neon green in space But my favorite Lego figures were always the pirates. They had the best faces.

Nice! Gong is good stuff!

I'm volunteering ojnihs

Please tell Roam to design a DHT amp for stats

The mofi CD of DSotM isn't that great. I have an original and it's fun to listen to for the massive bass eq they added. The most highly sought after CD versions are very early Japanese pressings, that sell for $400-600. Even then not that great compared to the vinyl.

DSotM mofi should sound great. Even on my humble tt setup the 30th anniv sounds fantastic.

edit: woop excellent thanks spiug

Is there an easy way to replace the elastics on the Sextett (didn't think this deserved its own thread)

I think the dispute the customs officials might be arguing- was VAT ever payed on the system...since it was bought from a UK dealer then sent to South Africa. I have no idea if VAT is added in the purchase price of such an expensive item or not (or if it is calculated afterward). When I lived in Ireland you received a specific VAT receipt for all electronics. You could request it for small items such as food and stuff as well (but even grocery receipts had VAT numbers on them). I am so glad I don't have to deal with that crap anymore. Had two nightmare incidents with customs, that's enough for one lifetime.

I rented a tux two years in a row for the annual black tie ball. Such a rip off, buying my own was a good move. Saved over $500 in the next four years.
