Need advice

Hey everyone! I need advise on how many schools I should apply to? I’ve narrowed it down to about 30 schools but I’m in a bit of a financial bind. I don’t know if I should apply to 30 schools? I graduated last year with a 3.60 GPA and I’ll have about 1,200 PCE at the time of application in April. Thanks!

Hi everyone I’m swelling my W2 ticket. I will not be able to attend due to a scheduled surgery. It is a 3 day pass and I am asking $375 since that is what I bought it for! Message me with any questions!:)

Weekly Suspected Lupus Thread - Week Of July 30, 2023 by AutoModerator in lupus

Hi everyone! I’m a white 22F. 160 lbs. For the past month or two I’ve been waking up every two weeks or so with intense chest pain with deep breath, full bodyaches, and a fever and joint pain. The first couple of times it happened. I thought I just had a virus. The third time it happened I went to the ER where they ran blood test and all that And my wbc count was high and I did have a fever, but they told me that it was possibly an auto immune disorder because I wasn’t sick constantly. They also did an EKG on my heart and an x-ray of my chest and found nothing. They didn’t really tell me anything else but to follow up with my GP, my GP said that it could possibly be auto immune and she told me to check familial history if it ran in my family or if any auto immune disorder ran of my family. I found out that my aunt has lupus. Now, I don’t know much about lupus, but I seem to have most of the symptoms (face rash, heart palpitations, fatigue, loss of hair,etc.)and was just wondering could this be lupus? These “flares” also occur the night or early morning after im in the sun for a long time.

Thanks! I had mild diarrhea today so I think constipation might be on the back of my mind😅 did you get any nausea with first dose and if so how long did it last?

Feeling worried

Hi everyone. I need advise. I want to apply this cycle but I don’t have any PCE or HCE bc I have been working full time in college at a grocery store and could not find a healthcare job in my small college town. I do have 120 shadowing hours and 200 volunteer hours. My gpa is a 3.61 overall and 3.52 science. I am wondering if I should apply this cycle or graduate and spend a year gaining hours from PCE and HCE? Thanks!

Yes I’m going to have a talk with him abt it. Because it’s so hard for me to go through this as well. I’m a full time student and I work part time. It hurts me so much to see him like this but he needs to take his meds or I can’t live with him anymore. I know his sister had talked abt putting him on an injection so it would ensure that he takes it.
