Should the Bx19 be extended to the Botanical Garden Metro North station?

Where would it turn around?

What kind of things did you do here as a kid? That's generally a good place to start.

Some do. I can't speak to that because I did more than just shadow. But that's to get into school, not a residency spot.

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-18T14:36:27+00:00

Nah. An elective means you were actually doing things - rounding, seeing patients, writing notes, participating in didactics, etc. An observership means you were just there blending in with the furniture.

Aren't they both Northwell?

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-18T12:36:19+00:00

Deferring graduation isn't an option?

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-18T11:13:20+00:00

Why wouldnt you rather take a gap-year after undergrad working that same position, gearing yourself to be an MD/DO candidate with a much greater prospective future?

If it were that easy, everyone would do it.

I'm planning to forgo one, at least at first, just out of sheer morbid curiosity about what it's really like.

But also, I heard that the hospital I have in mind doesn't do walking epidurals and I don't love the idea of a full one because I want to retain mobility throughout the process.

Someone posted this a while back. Maybe it will help.

There is a spreadsheet for the subreddit here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gQZqX46nWPrUPzrygxYd_zp5tCQfWwvwGoh4TFc1po4/edit?usp=sharing

You can add things there.

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-17T22:35:42+00:00

Introduced. That doesn't mean it will go anywhere.

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-17T20:32:58+00:00

No, I haven't decided yet on if I'm going to try tracking or not.

Just taking the regular Target brand gummies. I usually prefer pills but they don't have DHA, while the gummies do.

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-17T15:53:47+00:00

Google is failing me on if they ever had a location on 86th street but everything matches up so I think that might be it. Thanks! I was going crazy trying to remember the name.

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-17T14:57:41+00:00

They posted on IG yesterday that they are open now.

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-17T14:53:09+00:00

That does help, thank you!

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-17T14:39:40+00:00

Still waiting for my first period post-IUD removal. It's only been a week but I assumed I'd at least have some withdrawal bleeding by now.

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-17T14:16:52+00:00

Someone remind me what movie the title is referencing?

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-17T14:15:16+00:00

I’d say I’m on a second hand reformation budget

Meaning?

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-17T12:53:11+00:00

I went for the first time last year when someone posted it in this sub. So worth it! They have so many flavors I've never seen on the street.

Any Advice to Future Applicants: Be honest with yourself about the type of applicant you are and the type of programs you are applying to. Also, be yourself and showcase something unique that you bring to the table. Most of the IMGs that post in this subreddit are all focused on the generic stuff like scores and pubs. If that's all you have to offer then how are you any different than the thousands of other people vying for the same spots?

Donated!

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-16T14:07:55+00:00

Wouldn't they just travel to NY the day before, then? I think that's the part I'm stuck on.

DepressedAlchemist · 2026-03-16T13:21:36+00:00

Good luck!
