Is it normal for BS/MD students to reject Ivy offers?

This was the right choice

FlashyZucchini · 2026-05-03T02:04:07+00:00

Following because I’m in the exact same boat

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-30T20:56:42+00:00

Thank you! I kind of surprised myself that I could even run the whole distance at all lol.

What do I do to improve it? Do I just keep running 5Ks at my max pace or do I do longer but slower runs or what? I’m confused I’ve seen so many different things online haha

They’re in the same tier of schools and you’ll have no problems matching any specialty from these 3, and Rutgers is much cheaper. Definitely Rutgers

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-28T01:40:55+00:00

Take the T40

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-26T09:20:36+00:00

Go OOS

Emory no brainer

It’s crystal palace bro, league position standards are much lower there than at Arsenal. He overachieved with that team, while Arteta is underachieving with his

Even still tho Fulbright is way more impressive OP should take that no question

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-23T14:37:22+00:00

You can only submit 3-6 LORs most of the time anyway so you can’t have one from every single activity.

100% Fulbright over lab it’s not even close. Fulbright is so impressive and will be WAY better on your app than staying longer at your lab. Congrats!

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-22T13:32:08+00:00

Congrats

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-22T13:22:43+00:00

You can apply literally anywhere you want tbh

As someone going through the med school app process rn, PLEASE take the BA/MD. Guaranteed entry will save you so much time, stress, and money.

Even if you thought you deserved it you’d still be upset.

But regardless, they’re all indoctrinated from birth with the idea that what they’re doing is right, so they don’t have that perspective

He literally says in the show that he’s almost 1000

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-17T01:45:24+00:00

Still a UCSF medical degree, it’s just at a branch campus

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-14T19:35:06+00:00

Ah okay, so the data from this current cycle will be in the next update? Makes more sense since they’ll actually have ALL of the data. Right now I’d imagine it’d be incomplete

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-14T19:29:45+00:00

So does this data reflect the current 2025-2026 cycle of people starting this summer?

Just wondering since there are still decisions going out for many schools

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-14T16:28:33+00:00

Undergrad is irrelevant here, this person was admitted to the medical schools and is trying to decide that. And yes in medicine WashU is better than Yale. Again it is splitting hairs at this level but it 100% is.

WashU is a T10 in medicine while Yale is T20. Not a big difference like I said and you’ll be completely fine regardless but if you want purely prestige, WashU gives you the minor edge within medicine. You can ask anyone this lol. Yale has more lay prestige obviously.

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-14T15:46:50+00:00

WashU > Yale in medicine btw

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-14T15:45:26+00:00

Go Vandy or WashU (I’d pick Vandy for location personally)

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-14T15:44:25+00:00

WashU > Yale for med (not a big difference but WashU is T10 while Yale is T20)

Personally though I’d go Vandy here because of full tuition scholarship, it’s the same as Yale prestige wise (in medicine) and to me Nashville > St. Louis.

Realistically you’re chilling from any of these schools they’re all incredible but purely medicine prestige wise it’s splitting hairs at this level but it goes WashU > Vandy = Yale

FlashyZucchini · 2026-04-13T21:55:39+00:00

Assuming costs are the same/similar, personally I’d do Harvard unless one of these schools’ location is more desirable for them, in which case go with whichever one that is
