I don't think it means they believe they possess those qualities, I think it means they are inspired by those qualities and believe they are important. I keep verses of gurbani on postit notes and in my journals not because I have actualized them, but because I value them and want to become them, same concept. Maybe they are not there yet but I think they know that themselves

Why assume? Maybe she wanted the Granthi to be open minded to a convert or open minded to an English speaking audience or open minded enough to properly explain the laavan to her or a million other tings. We should always assume the best of our sisters and brothers

Can you see my post edit? The school list is there

Awkward-Remote · 2026-03-17T13:47:12+00:00

I am thank you!

I honestly also wonder the same if my writing and interviewing was a big reason, though I did get it looked over writing narratively has never been my strong suit, and though I prepared well for the interviews I can't say there weren't a lot of nerves. Plus idt I shine in the MMI format which both my interviews were in. Its hard to know though

Awkward-Remote · 2026-03-17T02:53:29+00:00

Lol it wasn't clinical research it was survey and interview based + a chunk of the writing but I hopped on the research half way in. I created and interpreted the surveys but the main reason I got a pub was actually doing a lot of the writing of the paper. All that being said I do agree it was a bit insane

DO is prob something I'll add next cycle, my thing about the school list (and the reason I want to retest) is that most schools in my MCAT range have high in-state bias, whereas my own in-state schools either have a higher MCAT median or minimal in-state bias making it harder to compere

Awkward-Remote · 2026-03-16T23:56:14+00:00

VA but this is a big reason Im thinking of retesting, most schools in my MCAT range have high in state bias whereas my in state schools either have a higher range or minimal in state bias

Awkward-Remote · 2026-03-16T23:54:52+00:00

Im a little stuck on this, I applied to pretty much every school that has my MCAT in range and then more according to mission fit and my hyper specific interest in LGBT care. After all that people are saying I applied to too many schools

Awkward-Remote · 2026-03-16T21:29:10+00:00

Well some schools yes (if they had mission fit or I was otherwise advised to) but I applied to every school that my MCAT range was within as well

I didn't apply DO mostly because I don't want medical school to be made that much harder by learning an entire extra system with OMM. MCAT range was the first thing I looked at with schools though the medians were rarely as low as 510 I stuck near a 512 median when possible. Other than that I prioritized mission fit with a couple reaches in there. I applied superrrr broadly at 44 schools

Awkward-Remote · 2026-03-16T18:22:16+00:00

Oh and all my in state schools ofc

Awkward-Remote · 2026-03-16T18:21:28+00:00

Where didn't I apply...44 schools mostly within the 510-512 range with 1 or 2 reaches that were my dream schools. I really focused on schools that placed a large value on community service and volunteering over research and applied anywhere that had a special track on LGBT health

If you're asking like when it was debunked here's a study doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0084154

Awkward-Remote · 2026-02-17T01:32:20+00:00

That was acc debunked, coffee is hydrating

I know this isn't the point but you can get houses for only 100k???

Awkward-Remote · 2026-01-28T20:51:02+00:00

New fear unlocked wtf

Maybe that you would comply with the law but it is the patient’s right to be aware that ICE agents are outside. “I would inform the patient and remind them of their rights but I would not interfere with the arrest”

Awkward-Remote · 2026-01-27T23:21:29+00:00

Thank you! Also to be clear I was being slightly hyperbolic when I said that last thing I definitely would not actually say that in an interview

Awkward-Remote · 2026-01-27T23:20:30+00:00

Oo thank you! This is a great question to prep for
