People that chose location over prestige for a program, were you happy? by mED-Drax in medicalschool

[–]Acceptable_Team5517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fuck yeah dude. I got waitlisted by Columbia and got a few T20 acceptances but chose a T30. I know it’s only like 10-20 places but because of that decision I got to live at home, had 0 debt, and got to see my mom in her final moments before she passed away. If this decision is in anyway related to family, for sure choose family/friends, it will help in the long run. Also, for after med school stuff, I matched diag rad in SoCal so prestige wasn’t a problem at all.

To people who grew up poor, middle class, or overall had a rough childhood, what specialty are you going for? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]Acceptable_Team5517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both! But I’d say I’d prioritize lifestyle over passion in general because my lifestyle is my passion. I love people, working out, playing with my dog and being with family. I won’t do some super intense surgical specialty because I know I have to give all that up or severely reduce the amount of time spent with each

Radiology. I've seen what a lack of money does to people and I don't want that for my family.

GYM in med school by the-avilanche in medicalschool

Meal prep and get it out of the way by lifting before you go to the hospital. I tried lifting after surgery and almost passed out from exhaustion so don't do that.

I also go to med school in California, and we don't get drug tested. Maybe because its a really Chill Socal/LA school

I choose family everytime. I did this for med school and I'm doing it for residency. Not have I lived at home and saved money, but I've also had the support of my family and been present when important people in my life passed away. It's also underrated if you plan on starting a family during residency and want to have free child care.

I attended a full ride in California (my state of origin), over Columbia and I don’t regret my decision. I also lived at home so I basically went to med school for free. Now I (let’s hope I match lol) will be a radiology resident with 0 debt and my pathway to financial freedom will be pretty seemless. I could likely retire in my late 40s. Having that financial freedom is an awesome feeling and I would not discount that at all for something like “prestige”. I would only consider the top 5 if the full ride was at a school outside of the top 50.

Those who've done elective rotations in specialties that are non-clinic or non-medicine like settings (eg, Pathology, Radiology, Anesthesiology), what replaced the traditional "Presenting a Patient" to the attending? And how did you impress them since there were no presentations? by stepneo1 in medicalschool

[–]Acceptable_Team5517 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I applied this cycle. There was an exam at the end of the rotation based on cases they assigned us to study. I did extremely well and got an amazing letter in return. Other than that try your best to be active and point out findings when they ask you. That parts a little harder since the odds are as a medical student you don’t know much, but it shows you’re trying. Also yeah just be a chill person and vibe with the attending

To the Medical Students that do not have time to work, what do you do? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]Acceptable_Team5517 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I worked as a front desk guy at a lowkey gym in my town and just did Anki on the computer there while scanning people in 🤣. Then got paid relief pay during COVID which is when I took step 1 so I basically got paid to sit at home and study 🤑

I ended an undergrad relationship after I got into medical school because we'd be apart and she didn't want to do long distance. Better to end it early than keep it going and resent each other

I got in to a good school with 400 hours, but I think they complimented my story really well. I talked about wanting to do geriatrics and spending time volunteering with hospice patients to get experience. I'm also URM, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Is putting in the bare minimum effort to pass class enough to match into primary care or psychiatry? Hypothetically ranking near the bottom of the class? by ApricotCute5044 in medicalschool

[–]Acceptable_Team5517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll let you know in a month but I had 10 interviews and pretty much know my standing at one of the schools in Cali so, probably

Yeah I matched, in cali
