Wooo

Post by Alan »

I got into Buffalo. Now I'll just be waiting for Case and Pitt until maybe August.

http://www.smbs.buffalo.edu/

Its name is just as complicated as UMDNJ-SOM. University at Buffalo State University of New York School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. UBSUNY-SOM&BS. SUNY Buffalo at least is easier to say and is good enough though.

Why not? Actually I don't know enough about the universities to say anything.

longer name = wider diploma = fatter paycheck.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

UBSUNY looks nothing like SB.EXE, but apparently that's what I had on my mind anyway.

I haven't chosen yet but I probably will choose UB over UMDNJ. UB has a better track record for having students match into good neurology and psychiatry residencies, and has a wider range of hospitals for rotations. Plus class is only from 8-noon as opposed to 8-5. Nothing like laziness to motivate a decision.

So their students learn less and get better jobs?

Went to a happy hour type thing for incoming students as a part of the housing info weekend.

Man what a babe fest. Buffalo's another school that's like 55:45 female:male.

Also, I met a white version of Vinny and an Arab version of George. Very amusing.

That would be weird if they met since our George is jewish.

The universe would explode. Or maybe implode, I haven't made the calculations yet.
