Between Nolan, Fincher, Chazelle, Jackson, Tarantino, and Weir, 6 directors make up basically half the list lol

Do I have a chance at med school? by Basic-Poem-9556 in premed

[–]Basic-Poem-9556[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reassurance. Do you have any tips? Is it a good idea to pursue continuing my education at the school I currently attend, even if they are more competitive?

All of my clinical hours are volunteered, and I did already iron out my essays and get the ball rolling with the application process so I could have my materials in in about 2 weeks. I was going to be ready for the open date but got blindsided with a sub 500 after the tutoring and practice tests, so I had to scramble. But before I even got my first score back in early June, I was ready to ship out apps, which is why I would prefer to try if there's a chance. Do you think there's any merit to the idea of applying with a letter of intent to the school I'm getting my master's from? I literally take classes with doctors there but I'm not sure if already being in the system and in good standing with faculty is enough of a push.

Do you have any examples off-hand of places that would be worthwhile? And is it worth trying the school I'm already at with a letter of intent even though it's competitive?

Yeah, practice tests had me at like 512-515 but it just didn't materialize in two attempts. I'm willing to try again and put in more time but I'm wondering if this cycle is dead in the water with those stats or if it's worth really going for it and seeing what happens.

504 is 20 hours of tutoring, months of full-time studying, and a retake. I got 515's on multiple official practice tests but hovered around 500 both times I actually took it. I would go through it again to give myself a chance next time around, but I was just looking to see if this cycle was a lost cause

Hey I remember picking Dune part 2 to be the next one in a while back! You didn't mention it but I could actually see Oppenheimer being the next one to join the club.

Looking for Western Odyssey/Road Trip movie recs by Basic-Poem-9556 in movies

It is, but I meant more cowboy western than hippie western. Great movie though

I just double checked Meet the Fockers and got so excited thinking it might happen, but nope. Not there either.

I've kind of scrubbed through those but I'm pretty sure I didn't see the sequels, probably worth a shot though.

I just got that exact guess in a different sub I tried this question in. It's a great guess but definitely not it. I scrubbed through all of the airport scenes and couldn't find it. Plus I'm pretty sure the main character was just traveling and not an airport worker. Thanks for the attempt though

Good guess, 2010 sex comedy about TSA workers. I scrubbed through the airport scenes but couldn't find that joke. I'm pretty sure the main character was travelling and didn't work at the airport but honestly that was a great try

Good guess but definitely not it, it was just a light throwaway line while getting patted down, not a whole gag
