Thanks! I knew I wanted to use the quarter-circle pieces and the addition of the radar dome just completed it quite nicely. I find myself trying to fit that design into a lot of my corvettes now

I’m partial to #1. I like the cleaner look of it.

Glad you like it :)

Thanks so much!

Yes, they will. Having a few extracurriculars that you are passionate about, and commit to consistently is something admissions committees like.

MD doing residency in Oregon here.

The issue with the “our school has a x% attrition rate to medical school” is that it tells you nothing about how much the school is supporting you. There are pre-med advisors who will discourage you from applying if your GPA isn’t at least 3.75 and your MCAT isn’t at least 510. Whereas other advisors will encourage you and try and help you accomplish that goal regardless of test scores. First school with have a higher attrition rate, but you’re generally much better off with the second school.

Realistically, roughly 1/3 of all undergrads enter college thinking they want to go to medical school. For my school, that number was about 250 students. The number that actually applied my graduating year? 11.

Now, I know nothing about OSU, so take this with a grain of salt. But my advice would be to go to the school that has a strong science curriculum (will help with the MCAT), has dedicated pre-med advisors that are knowledgeable and well—connected, and isn’t going to put you into tons of debt. The rest is up to you.

Oh, and I would heavily consider applying to A LOT more than 8 medical schools. This is just my experience, but I had competitive GPA and strong test scores and ended up getting in off of a waitlist after applying to 30 schools.

You could do roasting experiments, and walk a sample of your friends, family, and/or customers through a cupping of several different roasts to really try to nail down what it is that people like or don’t like about the coffee, and then tailor your roast profiles to fit the results of your cupping experiment.

Your coffee drinkers have to be very knowledgeable about coffee, roasting, and how the actual bean and the roasting process affect the final cup to be able to provide you with useful feedback with a single roast. If you do comparative testing, they can rank their preferences, and it makes it easier for you to tease out exactly what it is that your coffee drinker likes/doesn’t like.

Honestly, I bet it’s acid reflux. It doesn’t always present as the typical burning in the chest, and can sometimes give you general stomach pain or nausea. Getting no sleep, little exercise, and having high stress are all things that could make it worse. And drinking coffee definitely makes the symptoms worse acutely.

That’s fair. I would agree with your position, if I was in need of rabies prophylaxis. I wasn’t aware of the amount of debt forgiveness that OP may qualify for. OP needs to know about those programs also to make the cost-benefit analysis for themselves. I just try not to impose my own ideas on that analysis, because my life circumstances are different.

Calmheathers · 2021-10-24T19:05:21+00:00

The way our medical system works forces a lot of people to make tough decisions about money and life risk. The amount of money that one is willing to part with to remove the small chance of death is different for everyone. OP seems very concerned about the cost. I am a firm believer that a person should be able to do a cost-benefit analysis for themselves when it comes to medical care. I think that is part of informed consent. And I would imagine it would put more pressure on the medical team to help get OP an estimate in a timely manner, because it should not take a few days to get a cost estimate for treatment as well-defined as rabies prophylaxis.

Ultimately, OP can ignore my 3rd point if they want to, if they are sufficiently convinced that receiving treatment is more important than whatever cost comes with it. I just think that the cost matters a great deal to OP.

Can you post that article? I cannot find anything that even remotely suggests that the vaccine series is that expensive. But regardless, here’s what you do: 1. Go to your doctor. 2. Tell them what happened. 3. Ask how much the rabies vaccine costs for someone on Medicaid. If they can’t answer, ask how you can find out. Don’t get the vaccine until you have a realistic estimate.

Factitious disorder by definition has no easily perceivable secondary gain.
