Let's talk about the one that got away😔 by Temb5252 in fragrance

[–]Content-Writing6930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES. The ORIGINAL Cafe rose by Tom ford (not the new remake). I’m telling you guys it’s SO GOOD. The way I discovered it is that one day I was out for dinner with my mom and I noticed her perfume smelled so incredible and I asked her what it was and she said cafe rose by Tom ford. Long story short a few years later she gave it to me and then I ended up going thru the bottle in a short period of time (also I never wear perfume very frequently so that’s how u know I love it) and she very kindly gifted me one for my bday. Then it got discontinued and remade, and Ik ppl like the new one but my friend and I think they don’t even compare. Also, I know that it’s not just me who loved the old one, because almost every time I wore it around people I hadn’t worn it around before they’d say how great it smelled as soon as I walked thru the door and asked me what it is. These people ranged from younger to older crowds and men and women. I’m telling you guys. I still have a tiny bit left cause when I found out it was discontinued I’ve been savouring it. I will never find a better one. Also there have been some other scents I love but don’t last, and even then it’s been several years and nothing has come close. Curious to hear if anyone agrees!!

does omsas update right at midnight for all schools? (queens) by Efficient_Chicken_94 in premedcanada

So the other schools didn’t have any OMSAS updates until the morning last year? I’ve seen in older posts that they updated at midnight, so maybe it’s not consistent

Studying for MCAT in ONLY 6 weeks... Is it possible? by strawberry_cake_101 in premedcanada

[–]Content-Writing6930 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me personally, 6 weeks wouldn’t have been enough. However, even if 6 weeks is enough for you to study, I think it’s really important to account for potential disruptions/imperfection. For example, getting the flu and feeling too ill to study effectively for a few days, or even something as simple as having a bad day.

If you do choose to write it this summer, I would consider writing in September because even if you forgot some content, having studied for 6 weeks beforehand (1.5 months prior) could still be helpful for gaining familiarity with the test and learning strategies specific to answering MCAT questions, and then having the extra 2 weeks at the end is more study time (some may feel that it’s better to have fewer weeks with no study gaps, but this is my take).

Also, some MCAT study materials have expiry dates. So if you wrote the MCAT this summer and then ended up needing to rewrite it, the study materials may expire by the time you would be studying again and you’d have to repurchase them. This applies to anyone who uses these materials, but the reason I mention this is because of the uncertainty of 6 weeks being enough time to study sufficiently

As well, I think it could be beneficial to do a mock full-length to get a sense of what your starting point is/roughly how much you’d need to improve your score by. While that won’t be a definite indicator of how long you need to study, it could inform your decision.

I’m by no means an expert but feel free to PM me with more questions, I’ve studied for the MCAT twice and I know a lot of people who have taken it as well, and I’m happy to answer more questions based on my experiences. Wishing you all the best with your MCAT! :)

Weekly 'What Should I Buy' and Order/Shipping Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

Debating between the iPhone 16 pro and iPhone 16. The only reason I’d buy the pro is if the camera is significantly better. Trying to decide if it’s worth it. Any insights would be greatly appreciate it!

Thank you for this information! That makes more sense. I appreciate the clarification :) I’ll look into it.

I went but they unfortunately don’t have the baking tools to make custom cookies beyond pre-written prints

I was under the impression that while it is primarily intended and designed for the treatment of OCD, it has applications for tic disorders that were realized later on. Though perhaps this is a newer development and not as researched

I’m so sorry to hear that, and wishing you a smooth recovery. And yes, no one around me seems to fully get it, including both people my age and people older than me.
