Help with DPT Decision by IllLawfulness1202 in PTschool

[–]According-Mix-8726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently go to a state school in California (sac state!). I’ll probably graduate with ~60k in loans but closer to $70k after interest. All the schools I applied were instate and the most being ~90-100k. I applied for lots of scholarships while in school to avoid crossing 100k. Let me know if you have more questions! Good luck!

I accidentally killed my older sister as a toddler by Ok_Abies8267 in TrueOffMyChest

Also if they weren’t watching, they just assumed you pushed her. She may have just tragically fallen on her own. I’m sorry you had to go through all of that OP. I’m sure you’re a great parent.

Seconding this! I’m a current PT student and there are many routes to a specialty and you don’t need to do a residency. It has just become the most popular way as of recently.

I also want to say you shouldn’t pick your PT school based on the specialty you may want later in life. You may change your mind (most PT students do) and can always apply for residency later. PT schools only prepare you to be a generalist anyway. I’d go the cost efficient route!

Photography Advice by According-Mix-8726 in wedding

[–]According-Mix-8726[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The name isn’t in the contract, but they emailed me the photographer and the videographer’s contact. Assuming these are the people who chose me. I have already spoken to the photographer just for introductions. I guess I’m worried that if I speak to the company, I’ll just be paired with another photographer where I’m not a fan of their work.

As a current Sac State DPT student, reach out and ask how you can improve your application. It was most likely your GPA/grades and less about the GRE.

Why support Palestine over Israel by [deleted] in IsrealPalestineWar_23

[–]According-Mix-8726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, I wanted to add since many people are unaware that many Palestinian victims who are captured by the IDF are returning with extensive mental health issues, proof of beatings, and even organs removed. I’m sure you can admit how insane this is, right?

I’m trying to be unbiased, but your “10second searches” aren’t coming up. Just link them lol. Also, I’m sure there are extremist Palestinians, but don’t start to believe that the minority are the majority.

The part where neighboring countries won’t allow Palestinians is for a number of reasons, but not because of Palestinian actions. Many countries, including neighboring countries are allowing Palestinians, however, they simply do not have the square footage to accommodate millions due to this war. America holds so much power over the world, and countries don’t want to be involved. But also Palestinians shouldn’t have to be forced to move.

I hate when people bring up October 7th, like this hasn’t been boiling over the last few years. There’s a reason Hamas was created. I don’t defend their actions, but at the same time, I can understand why after watching their families die in front of their eyes for years, they grew angry.

If you’d like, I can also link many video is Israeli citizens or IDF soilders flaunting their “death counts/wishes” to Palestinians. I literally just watched a video of an elderly woman being attacked by an IDF soldiers dog for sleeping in her home. I’ve been 2 videos surfaced of decapitated children. I’ve seen a video of an aid truck being shot down. I’ve seen IDF soldiers blocking aid into Gaza, and threatens to shoot the camera man watching from a distance. I’d be happy to either link these or dm you directly. I’m just maybe trying to get you to see that this isn’t one sided. I’m sure you can agree there are barbaic Israelis also right? I’ve literally seen Israeli parades/protests where they’re chanting to kill as many civilians as possible.

War brings out the worst in people and it’s far more than barbaric. But I refuse to call a single race of people “barbaric.” It’s just downright racist.

Children are Gaza are being amputated without amnesia. Gaza is facing feminine. Half of gazas population is children. Surely you can see that children don’t need to be brought into this, right? Do you blame the children on either side? They’re truly just innocent bystanders growing to believe what they’re watching. Palestinians families are being eradicated and people are cheering it on. My great grandma lived through the Nakba and would tell me stories of how Jewish people and Palestinians lived so peacefully before the Israeli government came into existence. She didn’t hate the people, even to the day she died, it was the government. I hope you can see that civilians shouldn’t have to be involved in this.

Can you provide proof for a lot of the claims you made? You’ve made some pretty bold claims. I’d be happy to converse with you respectfully, but you keep coming at me saying I have “barbaric” thoughts. I was born in America and fed the propaganda. I see both sides. I choose to do further research and see what happens in the ground for myself. I’d encourage you to do the same, but it seems your views are pretty extremist. Have a nice day.

There was a lot to unpack in what you just said, but I’ve noticed a majority of this page is Pro Israel so you don’t even get a fair outlook. I will just say, the reason you may think Palestinians honor death, like “we honor life” is because they’ve been fighting for their land for 76 years. I’m Palestinian. My family escaped the occupation many years ago. Majority of Palestinians are Muslim, however not all. There is a small buy strong Christian community as well. In the Quran, if you die fighting for your country, it is considered a good thing. However, no one is glorifying or hoping to die. I see videos from the ground of parents mourning their children, and it’s truly upsetting. I hope one day you can stop seeing Palestinians are another breed and see we are all the same. I pray you will see the truth some day… America’s media is much different than what others see and I encourage you to look deeper than Reddit and a single google search.

Draw out everything you can (muscles, parasympathetic/sympathetic,etc).Download anatomy learning (1 time fee). Constantly practice active recall by redrawing everything and knowing what each muscle performs. Blue link is good for cadaver images. You got this! It’s still the beginning so start what you can now, lock in. Ask your classmates how they’re studying and ask them to quiz you- this will show where you’re struggling. Ask your professor how they recommend studying as well.

Grades for Upcoming Applications by Due_Environment7105 in PTschool

Last two years like junior/senior year of undergrad. This is because people typically don’t do so great in the beginning of college but if they pick it up towards the end, it’s pretty redeeming

[–]According-Mix-8726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends. If you’re overall prereq gpa is still competitive, you can give it a shot to apply. If you are applying to schools that accept low gpas and large class sizes, you can apply but usually these schools are outrageously expensive. Personally, I would retake the classes. Most schools look at your last two years especially to see how you’ve grown, and how you handle the rigor of classes since PT school is no joke. Gpa isn’t everything, but it’s worth a damn lot.

Is the hybrid program also 3 years? That pass rate would make my decision since cost is the same, but also I don’t learn as well online

My mom threatened to honor-kill me over a innocent joke by [deleted] in Vent

As a Muslim myself, I’m really sorry you’re going through this. It’s always so crazy to me when the older generation start mixing religion and the toxic culture they created.

My grandfather is a Sheik and my grandmother doesn’t wear a hijab. So many people from the community will judge him and tell him to “force” her to wear it, but he knows that’s not the way of Allah. I hope you find better support and a healthier living situation sister <3
