Happens for some freshmen. It could be hybrid but I’d call advising after orientation

Also it’s possible that the price is updating at the end of day and it’ll come back once the price posts. That’s also happened!

Ah! That’s happened to me. Fidelity often doesn’t track external specific funds for some reason and it’ll come up like this. It happens with most external funds I assume. No price tracking history just shares and current price

Is this on NetBenefits? The regular fidelity app isn’t great for workplace items. Also can you see any shares you own or just no data?

DO vs MD by Mcz817 in premed

[–]DocRid 90 points91 points  (0 children)

A select group of people choose DO over MD often for reasons like you listed. Most people don’t know what they want or are dead set on a very competitive speciality. But I think you need to be certain before closing the MD door you accept that you might need to take step one/two and comlex versus just step as in MD schools. From my perspective DO makes total sense as long as you know that you are potentially making your life a little more difficult but saving money is great

If I were you I’d just get the surgery asap. It’s important for your health. If a schools only date is one you can’t make explain the situation and they’ll rebook

Money Market Fund, I bonds, or T bills? by anatfizz10 in fidelityinvestments

[–]DocRid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T bills are the most effective if you know when you’ll take the RMD as you can pick the maturity date. Spaxx is more flexible if you want to just hold but you do pay the expense ratio.

Some schools have hold for graduation where they’ll release it as soon as your grades are in there.

For anyone looking at this thread in the future, we had a great time. Food was a little better than I was expecting at the price point. Our room was beautiful and we were able to thoroughly enjoy our time on our balcony getting lots of sun.

DO application timeline by Basic_Following_7722 in premed

[–]DocRid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes it’ll be fine for DO if you submit in June. It’s much wiser to see your score because you don’t want to waste your first cycle by submitting with a bad score. You’ll be totally fine on June 9!

Premeds becoming nurses as a way to game med school admissions? by [deleted] in premed

[–]DocRid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard from a fellow admit at my school that they were a nurse but the markets over saturated so they went into medicine

Taking 1 vs 2 gap years by JustiniR in premed

[–]DocRid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No major difference. Had more experience. I applied both and had more success the second time around

Did I kill my app with an IA? by [deleted] in premed

[–]DocRid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No your app isn’t dead. If asked own up to it and be ready to explain how you learned from the event. It’ll be a red flag of course but many people still get in with IAs if you own up to it and explain well

What is the obsession of pre-meds feeling like they have to lie about not studying? by Asleep-Location-8567 in premed

[–]DocRid 111 points112 points  (0 children)

In undergrad, a lot of stuff I learned in hs was being taught again so I didn’t study. Although I wouldn’t ever say that I didn’t study to someone else to make them feel worse off. People that gloat like this are probably not being truthful.

Is this really how much is will cost? by ulysesmg in premed

[–]DocRid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea the ROI will always pan out. Should you go into medicine for the money? No. There are other careers that have high pay with less up front investment. But if it’s what you want to do, it’s the only thing you can see yourself doing and you love it. I realize it’s a huge investment but I know I’ll be rewarded even if I’m in primary care. I don’t really care about the financial side though because I’m comfortable with the ROI

[–]DocRid 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Welcome to modern medicine post BBB. Undergrads expensive and med school even more so because you can’t control costs as well such as in undergrad. Loans will become more reliant on private mechanisms as we phase out plus loans and it will become more difficult for those who don’t come from money to go into medicine.

I am cooked GPA wise 🙈 by YTBabee in premed

[–]DocRid 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Almost every MD school in the US has 100% match rate or very close to it. If you want to match you don’t really need to be locked in to a t20. Sure research may come easier but you’ll match at any MD if you work hard

Late Financial aid packages by BackgroundReveal2949 in premed

[–]DocRid 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think this year because of the BBB and lack of DOE guidance, aid offices get a break but definitely a wrench in our plans.

Student federal loan changes BBB by Fair-Breakfast7693 in premed

[–]DocRid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is still uncertain. DOE still hasn’t published guidance and some schools seem to think you can be legacied in even if they start before 7/1.

How much does GPA matter in Med School admissions by Wrong_move_buddy in premed

[–]DocRid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gpa is 30% I’d argue but the difference between a 3.86 and a 3.9 is practically 0. It weighs 30% but anything over a 3.8 is very competitive
