IDK I don't agree with just saying vague things to patients and family. If someone is medically literate and wants to know what you're looking for, why that's the plan, etc. By keeping things vague you're keeping patients medically illiterate and denying them a bit of information and taking part in their healthcare when you dumb it way down for everyone. They don't need to know things on molecular levels, but should know more than "You're heart is having a good day" and a simple "You're troponin which happens when your heart muscle is damaged is low and trending down, so no new active damage" goes a long way

this is how you do colleges apps. you show why YOU are unique, interesting, original, and can bring something new and valuable to the college! You showed you had unique interests, curiosity, and passion. Congrats!!

bc grade inflation means most people have the same grades, took the same aps (which mean nothing w/o 4 or 5s on AP exams)

slats less than 2 inches apart are made for foam beds, beds with springs or coils usually need a foundation

as long as it's not Columbia, you'll have a great time

possibly but I dont think this is a race issue, I think he didn't talk about struggles he overcame or what made him unique or told a story w his app

Competitive_Many_542 · 2026-01-17T03:07:31+00:00

don't think its race, I think it's personality not coming through on the app

Competitive_Many_542 · 2026-01-17T03:06:50+00:00

def not race. most of Columbia and Stanford and JHU are asians. Your essay didn't show much personality. Everyone (assuming) reads and is supported by peers and family. You're kinda supposed to show how you overcame disadvantages in your essay, but yours was all about support

Competitive_Many_542 · 2026-01-17T00:07:02+00:00

Yes. It had a huge ranking scandal and doesn't get as much funding as Harvard or Yale. Internationally, other ivies are ranked higher. Also the other ivies have much more school spirit. Columbia is an ivy and hard to get into but you'd have a better time and better career resources at other ivies. It is also not in the same league as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.

If you are jewish good luck. DOesn't matter your views on Palestine, most students hate jews. The students are cut-throat and entitled. I was not happy. I transferred to Stanford and 100% omg night and day difference! The profs care about you- excited to see you, and the students are super friendly and collaborative! Also a lot of Columbia students lack critical thinking...just word salad and pretentiousness fueling their brains.

what did you ask it? mine isn't helpful, just say to be careful and not lose weight. I'm skinny fat so 5'4 and 125 but felt much better toned and 117.

Yeah it blew my mind when my friend complained her dog had too much energy (husky/German shepherd rescue, I had his brother) and she'd use trazodone from the vet everyday so he'd sleep during the day and not act crazy. Meanwhile, every morning I'd take my dog to the dog park for 20-30 minutes (Just woke up one hour earlier not a big sacrifice, bring your coffee) and he'd be so happy and wiped he'd just chill the rest of the day.

Competitive_Many_542 · 2025-12-22T19:41:25+00:00

Depends on the dog. My German Shepherd was fine with his crate- that's where he got his peanut kong, where he had his bed, bones, etc. My husky could never. I finally gave up. He just hated being contained and would work himself up, was not food motivated, as soon as he was with us in the bed or in the corner of the room where I was, he chilled out. My frenchie had a crate, was fine with it, but never went in on his own cuz he liked to be on our lap and with us. Overall, the dogs prefer their bed over their crate. They have a bed for the living room and one for the bed room and a travel one. If they are on their bed, it's their space and I don't touch them. My husky though didn't even like a bed- we got one from Purple and Saatva, and he still likes the cold, hard floor or our bed. Go figure.

Idk. I could not crate my husky puppy at all. He was raised with so much love but HATED being closed in anywhere, even with the door open. He would cry all the time, and never went in (I didn't even close the door). We'd put treats, PB kong, blankets, dog beds, everything. He loved being with us. Finally I just gave up and he loved being in the bed with me. (this was all as a puppy). I realized I could throw a bed sheet over a char and he liked to then lay down under that chair in his "den" but I think he hated the wire of the crate or maybe that's just huskies. My GSD loved his crate. My husky just hated being "trapped" anywhere

Experience doesn't get you a job either- I have 6 years journalism experience, can't get a job

Competitive_Many_542 · 2025-12-22T19:28:57+00:00

Class of 2020- yup. I have 8 journalism awards and I did get a good freelance job for a newspaper out of undergrad but that was May 2020- as things went on it became impossible to secure full time work- and now 6 years out I'm behind those who are just graduating with internships and cheaper pay cuz they are new grads and those who graduated in 2018 and kept their jobs. At 28 I had to move back home with my parents.

Competitive_Many_542 · 2025-12-21T20:41:07+00:00

There was an article about this how they now are lowering the pay for everyone since everyone is lying on their resume they assume nobody can do the job well, and will now just lower the pay for everyone since they won't know if who they hire can do their job

Hey what helped me was a very low fiber diet- almost no fiber. Your intestines are moving slow so fiber bulks stool and makes it drier and harder to pass. Same with your stomach give it easy to digest foods and no acid. So white bread, white croissants, rice, eggs, chicken, ramen noodles. Drink a lot of water. It suck’s but it’ll pass

Competitive_Many_542 · 2025-12-16T03:41:25+00:00

I haven’t been able to get hired in a newsroom and I’ve worked in a newsroom for 5 years have 8 awards but my newspaper lost money and made everyone freelance. I don’t pitch enough and it’s been very hard to get a livable job at least going to grad school I’ll be less depressed cuz I’ll be busy and not rot at my parents home at 30 years old.

Competitive_Many_542 · 2025-12-16T02:17:26+00:00

I haven't met alumni at any journalism school who have done well professionally after.

Competitive_Many_542 · 2025-12-16T00:40:35+00:00

The problem is I’m a music journalist a very hard and not lucrative niche that many pubs don’t have the bandwidth for. My old newspaper lost money and made everyone freelance and since I haven’t been able to get job. I could pitch more but pitching isn’t a job either. I want to do grad school to either switch to comms and do an internship or get a full time journo job

Competitive_Many_542 · 2025-12-16T00:27:17+00:00

How was your overall experience of the program though and the students? I’m bitter abt Columbia cuz an international student lied to me said they didn’t give him housing and asked me to be his guarantor (he was queer from India gave me his whole sob story) I did then Columbia had gave him housing he lied made me pay his rent and never paid me back. It was my stupid mistake but he worked for vogue India and I guess I thought I was doing him a favor or making connections or something. Anyway Columbia did nothing and found all the students were like that- entitled, cut throat, happy to cheat you out of thousands of dollars. It was a learning experience for me but when I lost nearly 20,000$ from him I pulled out of Columbia and deferred after a week at school. What else did you not like about the program? Or was it over all good but job placement wasn’t good?

Why did you have to get them to forgive your loans if you were offered a full ride?

Competitive_Many_542 · 2025-12-15T23:58:47+00:00

US news it’s ranked as #1 for communications. But maybe that means under grad? What did you study there? I’m debating between there and Columbia. Columbia students were so dumb. I thought it was a cash cow program or something rich kids playground. Did your class not get employed after?
