I like trouble. I like tequila. This could be a great combo! Jaskat, I'm an hour a way from Canada (but it's so cold out it is Canada) I consider you legal, otherwise I'll take your shot for you!

Its easy to forget that this is a self-selecting board which consists of very ambitious individuals with high aspirations. I'm convinced that if someone has a strong desire to succeed, they inevitably will, even if their cycle turns out to be less than what they hoped for.
It is unbelievably appropriate that Dionysus joins our forum as we are talking about boozing it up. +1000

I would say that held over must mean that they like you enough to keep you as a candidate for awhile longer... That's a good start, if you ask me!!!
Honestly, Robin, I dunno... and I certainly wouldn't want anyone doing anything on my advice!

MrsTrucker: I soooo wish I had some alcohol here. 
No worries though, my hubby's family is all about getting their drink on
We are going to go stay with them for the week during Christmas, so I am sure I will be having some very yummy drinks soon!!

Somebody line me up a double. Just got a rejection from Pitt. This cycle is getting rough. Anyway, hows the optimism crew doing? Sounds like y'all started the party without me! Well, I'd better catch up then!

As a non-drinker, can I still join the optimism party but bring my diet dr. pepper with me?
My fingers are crossed for you Veritas! Is that the day they have to let you know?

I'm 0-4 and one deferral. It's rough. I'm ~156/3.54 and a URM, and on LSN they have people with significantly worse numbers than that getting in. Not sure what's up. Maybe I sent them a "Why Duke?" lol.Veritas wrote:aww bummer man! sorry to hear that.Philaw wrote:Somebody line me up a double. Just got a rejection from Pitt. This cycle is getting rough.
