Phone call from U Penn???

What's with all of this whining and catfighting? I feel like I'm in the Ob/Gyn room. By the way, are you cute OrthoDreamer? Anyone know anyone cute going into ortho this year? :pimp:

Thanks 'Phyte

Yo chill out Pubes

Obviously you got an interview at Penn...so what inadequacy are you paranoid about? )

Orthodreamer,
When are you interviewing at Penn, it'd be fun to see what "orthodreamer" looks like in real life.

Thank You OssoBuco -- I appreciate the support.
SilverPubesJoe -- You're being a jerk. Just chill out. And change your name!
Hope everyone is enjoying leftover Turkey :smokin:

Relax everyone. It's true.

I got the same call for the same reason. O'Dreamer keep your head up!!! What happened to all the support, fellas? It's hard enough playing this game without forming silly alliances. Looks like someone's been watching too much Survivor... :roll smile:

No man, Orthodreamer is speaking the truth. Last week, the chair from Harvard showed up at my house because he realized my zip code was incorrect. He was really nervous about it and just needed clarification.

What a swell guy. )

Orthodreamer,
You're a stinkin' lya, you're holding out info on us that we NEED! Now if you don't tell us exactly what went down, then we'll find out who you are and not talk to you anymore!!! Now start talkin'!!!! :pimp:

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Truly the best day of the year, eating animal carcass, drinking frosty beverages, and watching the Lions come correct on national TV (and then I woke up.. with a hangover) :pimp:

HandJob-are you sure you want to do Ortho? Maybe Psych is your true calling.......Just kidding, you had to have known that was gonna get thrown out there. Good Luck everyone, Have a good Turkey Day! Good stuff Orthodreamer!

I think you guys are reading too much into comments posted on this forum. I don't think that anybody was acting up tight or on the verge of shooting there mom. I also that think before you start accusing people of this, you should look into your own transference/countertransference issues.

Cheers to CuriousGeorge!
Happy Turkey Day!! :smokin:

i got your back orthodreamer. it is amazing how this process can somehow transform otherwise laid-back decent people into up-tight, shoot-my-mom-if-it-will-get-me-a-spot suck-ups.
hopefully all of you can tear yourselves away from your computer long enough to enjoy thanksgiving, drink some beer and watch some football.

First of all, sorry for the delayed response, but as CollesFx suggested, I am out of town for Thanksgiving and not checking this board daily. I thank you Colles for coming to my defense.
Second, you guys all need to chill out and relax a little. I was not intending to "show off" as stated, I was truly wondering if anyone else had received this strange call.
Third, it was only a question for clarification of something on my application that had not been finalized at the time I submitted ERAS.
Sorry for peaking all of your interests like that, I guess it was no big deal after all.
Thanks for those who offered help/advice. No thanks to those who began attacking me because I did not post this info within minutes of my phone call (it has only been about 24 hours!!).
Good luck to everyone with interviews... :smokin:

Has anybody read "Misrepresentation of Research by Orthopaedic Residency Applicants" published in JBJS, December 1999? I'm not saying thats the case. However, how many times have you heard of someone getting a call from the chair prior to interview? I'm not trying to start any trouble. I hope he responds with good news.

Sheesh...it's like being in the middle of a pack of wolves or something. I'm sure orthodreamer will post once he/she finds out exactly wassup with the call. I think we're all just anxious about inteviews in general and will snap at anything right now...also, not everyone's checking this board if they're out of town for thanksgiving or something.

I think it's really funny how orthodreamer is so quick in coming to this forum and asking for help and advice... pique all of our interests (and at the same time trying to consciously or subconsciously show off "oooh, oooh, UPENN called me personally!") and now is keeping us in the dark about it.

He or she will probably reply to this message with the excuse that she hasn't checked the posts on this forum for the last couple of days.

Give me a break!

Good luck to everyone else.

Orthorider

Well Ortho dreamer, what was the call about? Are you female?

somebody is staying pretty quiet!!!!! sounds almost like they told you not to tell anyone???
