Keep in touch with your A71 friends long after the CPA Exam is over.

Duker are you my twin? Going the non-reporting route and finishing your masters in Dec. Do we have to wait until the degree conferral in January to even apply? Thats what Ive been thinking and its so hard to think it will be February before I am licensed.

Hey Herbie. I have to work that day, so no Black Friday shopping for me.

I'm starting to find that I am not as interested in these forums now. It's kind of sad. 🙁

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I got to meet Peter Olinto earlier today. He came to Nashville in order to teach a CPE course on accounting for leases. If anyone out there isn't totally burned out from Becker, I would highly recommend attending one of his courses if he's comes your way. The guy is a great presenter, and yes I got my pic with him!

@kandis feel the same…we are misfits. Not many passers come back…

@herbie and kandis – What's funny is some of these new whippersnappers think they know everything there is to know about the exam. You try to give a little advice but they are too smart or too cool for that. Was I like that six months ago? lol. Probably. Weird being on the other side.

[Anonymous]

I think in a few months when its a whole new slew of posters I will be over it. For now I do like to re-visit this place and see how some of the familiar names are doing in their continued quest to pass this thing. Was glad to see Minimorty passed, and will feel the same when I see names like Peanut and Yankeeaccountant in the alumni lounge too. I notice I actually sit back now rather than give any advice/tips/motivation or my opinion—almost feel like I am talking down to someone now, and I know that isn't the case at all, but I am worried that is how the other person might view it like “oh listen to me I've passed these exams already I know best”.

[Herbieherb]

Agree a lot of the new posters are annoying and give some crappy advice. I laugh at them and the know it all attitude 🙂

ok, someone left the door open, and well, I heard the adults talking, so had to come in! I will chime in that with every wave the forum morphs, the dynamic and culture changes. I definitely felt it with the September score release. Don't get me wrong, I am so happy for my “classmates” that they have had success, I just can't wait to get to the other side. I will say that I have tried to start some funny thread/comment and, well, the fish aren't always biting! When I am stressed, I am always looking for a laugh–even at my own expense!

Ok…BakedCPA–you are a sweetheart, I had a trying day, and old lady that I am, I started crying when I saw my name! Thanks for pulling for me. I really appreciate your support.

Ok, hmmmmm so this is what it is like in here. Can't wait to get my own pass 🙂

[mla1169]

Herbie I agree with the annoying. I have no doubt I was like that a year ago, but hope I'm not anymore 🙂 I just love getting to hang out here with the same folks who I was in AWE of when they passed their 4th exam. I can remember almost everybody here finishing for good!

Yankee I think of you as an alumni already. Maybe because we've been on so much of this journey together.

Ya I think I'm done with this site come 2012. I graduated with this 2010- 2011 group. I notice none of them post much either anymore and this site isn't the same…

I was granted a license number from my state board in the mail today, but then it says “you will receive your wallet license by mail in approximately 4 weeks.” Does this mean I'm allowed to say I'm a CPA yet? it's not clear to me – don't want to risk it. THanks

done

[kandisjoy]

I believe that once you have a license number, you're a CPA. But I would call your state board just for peace of mind.

Finally got my license card! From late September until now! Thank goodness for you all and this site.

I saw some comments about annoying comments…I agree. Also, I feel old (34) when reading the comments from folks just out of college who appear much younger. I feel like the minority since I'm over 30 with a wife and kids…
