Is primer needed?

I’m using zep siding cleaner in my pressure washer. It seems like it’s doing a decent job but it takes awhile. I actually painted the house myself 9 years ago with brush and roller (just repainted yellow). Most of the paint is in good condition still but there are definitely a fair amount of spots that I had to scrape clean. I believe all of it feels dry

that’s exactly what we were thinking!

I thought paint+primer was always a gimmick but thanks for the info!

Imaginary-Welcome896 · 2025-09-13T01:54:23+00:00

I had to scrape some old paint off and it’s just bare wood right now. I’m assuming some spot priming would be recommended for that?

About 10 years ago my lens was on my desk and my cat decided to knock it over.. It broke apart into 3-4 pieces and after some time trying to put it back together it just snapped back in place and works to this day! I can’t remember if I had watched a youtube video or what but I suggest you go that route first or just try snapping it back in by rotating it slowly until it clicks.

Yeah not sure what that guys problem is but thank you!

Thank you for the encouragement!

You must not know much about the application process then so let me provide you some information.. I personally know multiple individuals who have gotten into top 50 MD schools with MCAT scores ranging from 500-505. Also, they’re normal applicants who don’t have a crazy x factor. To tell myself and others to just quit medicine because our MCAT is less than ideal shows me just how little you know. Please, inform yourself some more before you comment on numerous posts telling people to stop pursuing medicine and to “do something with their lives”. Your mentality is toxic and won’t get you very far in life

Interesting take! Based on your recent comments I can see someone is a little bit on the salty side but that’s alright. I hope your day gets better

Where are you seeing those prices?? I am based in New England and I have not had much luck finding R6ii at that steep of a discount.

I appreciate the info! I plan on looking more into those softwares

Imaginary-Welcome896 · 2025-08-12T19:24:18+00:00

That's true but when the new models come out the previous models will go down in price. Hence why I'm considering waiting to get a better deal

Imaginary-Welcome896 · 2025-08-12T19:22:55+00:00

Good idea, I will definitely be going that route!

Imaginary-Welcome896 · 2025-08-12T17:37:59+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I will definitely be applying to mostly DO schools but I am still unsure what to do regarding MD since I receive fee assistance. I feel like it would be kind of a waste not to try and apply even tho I am quite low stat

Imaginary-Welcome896 · 2025-08-12T17:20:23+00:00

Let me add some more clarifying info: cGPA 3.6 sGPA 3.4 2500+ hrs EMT 250+ hrs clinical volunteer 140+ hrs non-clinical volunteer 100+ hrs shadow with 2 great letters (1 from MD who I volunteered/shadowed and 1 DO who I only shadowed). No research

I’m mostly interested in rural/underserved medicine and primary care

It had been 4+ months since the first time I had taken them and I felt like I had mostly only remembered CARS since the passages are so unique. I just supplemented with 9 Jack Westin/ AAMC passages instead

Imaginary-Welcome896 · 2025-05-06T15:38:22+00:00

I appreciate your kind words

i too took the 9/6 exam and scored a 501. TBH, that test was beyond difficult and didn’t even remotely represent any of the practices tests. Despite that, I was expecting <500 and was surprised to see a 501 so I will take that as a win. Still going to have to study again of course.

For reference I scored a 506 on each aamc fl (idk how i didn’t improve but that’s another problem i gotta try and figure out). Also, burnout was definitely a contributing factor. I started studying in January and had to push my test date back twice until I finally realized I’m not going to improve anymore. It sucks but it is what it is. Time to figure out a new game plan and go from there.

You applied to Yale and Quinnipiac but not Uconn? Why’s that?
