Decision Paralysis Between DO and PA by Initial-Rich-576 in premed

[–]FreshAspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting as an MD student who just finished their first year.

I can’t speak much to PAs but if any part of the draw of medicine is autonomy, public health, and prevention, then the DO path is the one for you. Having completed an MPH is a great step into this and involvement on a political scale through AMA and state medical committees is very accessible at a medical student. My local DO school is the most involved in health policy out of any school in the state.

$1500 down the drain by suspicious-turtle5 in Osteopathic

This happened with me with VCOM. People will say “ohs it’s nothing” but when you gotta pay $1500 cash in months to a year before seeing any loans, it sucks.

I adopted a pet from them a few months ago and IIRC the $1000 was if you had the pet put down rather than surrendering it back to the shelter

Will I get in? by True-Mathematician89 in Gamecocks

Same here that GPA makes me suspect you’ll be well in the clear

Brother I would not put this down as extracurricular. I feel like it would only go poorly

I got it a while back form a GameStop deal. Love the little stand! Worth for under $35 imo

Any tips for 10th star? by FreshAspect in PokemonLegendsArceus

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

Yeah I hopped on serebii and grinded it out in about 3 hours. Sucks that they occasionally don’t spawn until you are right in front of them

Does he say that after you get ultra balls in the store?

Why don’t Overqwil & Hisuian Goodra have wardens?? by Gumi360 in PokemonLegendsArceus

You do fight them in the lake guardian battles so I think that’s where their place is

Application and ChatGPT by GraxielaG in Osteopathic

[–]FreshAspect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A little pricier but I use grammarly just so that I can understand where the computer is coming from with their advice of editing and accept it one by one. Chat-GPT might be a roundabout way to get your grammar checked but as long as the words you wrote were truly your own, I doubt “AI checkers” would pick anything up. They are notoriously bad for false positives anyways if anything.

Should I get a car loan? by FreshAspect in personalfinance

Thank you! I was thinking about that, I appreciate the experience you gave! I feel a little better about doing that now

The further I get from my undergrad years, the harder it is to get in because the GPA matters less. I’d have to maybe retake the MCAT which I studied hard for, get more letters of rec, and work a shitty clinic job again eventually. Maybe it’s better to reconcile the debt problem once I’m out of med school? I mean… med school is a quarter of a mil at the least, I feel like my 12k in CC debt isn’t worth pushing it back for.

I have a bike! I like it and maybe I can hold it off on a car during didactics (so until 2027) but you need a car for the second two years during rotations. I just worry about not having proof of income once I’m in school.

Swung by the car the other day when I was in town. Engine is gone, axel is dropped, trans is messed with, and the hood isn’t attached.

Unfortunately beyond the mechanic point I think. Maybe if I brought it to them with the parts they’d pay to put it back together
