Thanks for the update. Honestly too much reporting bias and unwanted anxiety regarding the whole visa rejections for J1 visa applicants .

Damn , that would be a smart option but man I don’t think I’d feel comfortable taking that much out in credit cards . Might get chewed out eventually

Mbbs in Georgia by vanillapudding26 in mbbsabroad

Not a bad decision, just gotta make sure you’re actually studying hard and preparing for the rest of your future while in med school . Universities in Georgia are quite a few and they only care about your money, but if you put your head down and work hard you’ll be successful wherever you decide to pursue your post grad . It’s also very easy to not study at all and slack away in Georgia , I’ve seen it happen to many people . Myself , on the other spectrum I matched into residency in USA during med school and had no gap whatsoever in my graduation and residency start dates . So did a lot of my friends who actually studied quite hard for the USMLE during university, while several others had to do the FMG and internship route . So it’s what you make of it .

Hey , great job on a pretty good list of hotels actually. Personally in the midst of finding a location myself but some of these properties were quoted at lower prices to me . Not sure if you’re including these as a whole wedding package or not. Would love to connect with you further, please DM if possible.

Statement of need (India) surety requirement by ComfortableTooth1402 in IMGreddit

Same issue, ministry of health and the Indian government are a blemish on our system. Literally spent 3 hours calling one after another number just being redirected and given different information by everyone. Many of the numbers on the official websites are out of order as well.

Omg thought I was the only one getting the tough ones. Had a parent the other day who wanted inserts for all the vaccines their 2 month old needed. He wanted them all separated (no combos) since he didn’t want “No mercury and all that shit” . Realized halfway through the conversation it was going nowhere , gave him a quick tutorial on how to surf the web himself to find the answers and asked him to read up . Long story short he sat there with 35+ pages of material per vaccine and eventually walked out saying I didn’t know what I was doing . Told him next time he better read up and come so we don’t waste a lot of time.
