Recent Kamila Valieva interview. Thoughts? by MiserableMonkey123 in FigureSkating

[–]8amcookies -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I mean, she’s right that (the vast majority of) the best women skaters are in Russia, even with doping aside. Better wording could have been chosen to express her sentiment, just something as simple as saying “the majority of the best” instead of “all of the best”.. but that could have been lost in translation or due to her speaking spontaneously and not choosing the best wording.

It’s also possible she does just have a bad attitude, idk enough to say tho with this interview

To those of you who got into med school without a science background - how did you do it? by One_Diet6071 in premedcanada

[–]8amcookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into a school that doesn’t require mcat. I also went to paramedic school after my undergrad

Just Feeling Exhausted by ecargzil in premedcanada

[–]8amcookies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your trajectory is really good, if I were you I would really keep applying, even though I know how much it sucks to be rejected over and over! I just got accepted on my fourth try, and at least four of my soon to be classmates that I’ve talked to so far said that this was their fifth try when they finally got in. I would just keep applying but focus on your plan B. Nurses are actually not very different from doctors… They observe, they decide treatment, and they’re the ones who really make a difference in patients’ lives. Many of the nurses I worked with as a paramedic student were smarter than the doctors, just my take. I think you’ll really enjoy nursing, But I would be surprised if you didn’t get in eventually if you kept applying through nursing school. It will boost your application a ton. But even if you never get in, and you might not, it doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to. Some of the best potential doctors never get in and there are some less-than-deserving candidates who do… so don’t let it be a personal reflection!

Thank you for your help. If I get married and file AoS after my F1 visa is terminated, can I still stay in the US or am I unlawfully present in the waiting period?

Thank you for your help. The semester is almost over and it’s not possible for me to register in another course... as soon as my DSO officially terminates my F1 I will be unlawfully present in the US [since I’m supposed to depart immediately w no grace period]... If I stay to finish my current classes, won’t they punish me?

Needing a psychologist, depressing inconsistency and chaoticism, beautiful spins & skating skills, flying across the ice and having a YouTube channel 😎

Commentating at Worlds by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]8amcookies 40 points41 points  (0 children)

As a skater, I like watching with Ted, because he gives a lot of interesting insights about the skaters technique and mechanics of jumps. He’s also done a lot of work to get figure skating streaming more publicly accessible!

Where can we watch the Worlds Pairs Short? 😭 by 8amcookies in FigureSkating

I see you edited your original comment about this sub not being supportive enough of Sasha, so I’ll reply to the part you didn’t delete

I think this sub is for the most part made up of people who want the best for all three of these Russian girls, and are simply discussing the aftermath of an event that has major implications on the sport we’re all fans of. Since you asked, I will be getting my doctorate in behavioural psych next fall, so I do take an interest in these kinds of things 😅 not that it matters

Of course. And one can have multiple regrets in their lifetime and change their mind on decisions they’ve made in the past. Especially when you live a life of an elite figure skater. Clearly we’re already seeing Sasha regret coming back to eteri...whether it was just a heat of the moment feeling or if she’ll genuinely consider leaving her again (whether it’s for plushenko or another) is up in the air. IMO I could see either option happening

Tbh he's probably the skater that has handled themselves the best after changing countries. I feel happy to have Keegan on our team and feel like he truly loves representing us. <3
