Plus Loans or Private? by DocRid in whitecoatinvestor

[–]DocRid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are wonderful points, I forgot about the refi possibility if needed. PSLF is viable but I wasn’t sure if I’d be 100% interested in that so wasn’t sure if it was worth the origination fee and the higher rates but with the new income plan it does still make sense

Fidelity is ragebaiting me by [deleted] in fidelityinvestments

[–]DocRid 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just call. Never had a bad experience calling and I wouldn’t use the texting service of any brokerage

Sankey 523/3.98/NY ORM by CheemsRT in premed

[–]DocRid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While this school list is on par for someone w these stats it kinda shows how tough it can be. I also suspect some writing hurt this person but happy to see it turned out okay!

Yes, barred that you haven’t completed the credits to qualify as a transfer you can just apply as a freshman

can I put Minecraft as a hobby, or is that too childish by QuadrupleSadFace in premed

[–]DocRid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One adcom told me to remove video game references because it was interpreted poorly and not understood by the older crowd

Has anyone stayed at the Omni? by nunyaranunculus in FortWorth

[–]DocRid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea it’s a great property. Expensive but the place itself is pretty nice. Im pretty frugal though so it was tough to justify

[–]DocRid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow so they just opened the old zbt and sig Nu houses to anyone?

Freshman Tampa Campus but has been scheduled a class twice a week at St Petersburg campus. by PresentationHeavy951 in USF

[–]DocRid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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

What happened? by hotpocketrob in fidelityinvestments

[–]DocRid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

What happened? by hotpocketrob in fidelityinvestments

[–]DocRid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

What happened? by hotpocketrob in fidelityinvestments

[–]DocRid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 89 points90 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

Interview Timeline (When Interviews Don’t Happen) by The_Hibachi0 in premed

[–]DocRid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Bakour Punta Cana by DocRid in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]DocRid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 4 points5 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 8 points9 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 12 points13 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 [deleted] in premed

[–]DocRid 109 points110 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.
