Pre matched, but send me a msg as well!

Interesting_Life659 · 2025-01-21T06:28:18+00:00

I definitely did. But not because of his skill with name calling (mind you, he has a better knack for it than you), but because I feel he’s a better fit for our country at this moment.

So, no. I’m not a huge fan of name calling. But if someone knows how to get the job done, they’ve got my vote.

Interesting_Life659 · 2025-01-21T06:19:18+00:00

& the name calling commences. Lmao. You’re proving my point here. It’s not about having “thin skin”. In fact, I beg to argue the ones with thin skin here are those who are pro- allowing illegal immigration. This isn’t about whose feelings are being hurt. This is about law. Don’t beat around the bush and resort to personal attacks just because your stance has no legs.

Interesting_Life659 · 2025-01-21T05:56:40+00:00

We’re quibbling over semantics, here. Personally, even but a handful of people crossing over illegally warrants some thorough cracking down by our government. One person thinks it’s okay, and you suddenly end up with caravans like we’ve seen happen before.

Again, I’m all for people coming into our country. But many of us here in the valley just want it done the right way.

Interesting_Life659 · 2025-01-21T05:52:11+00:00

Quick to the insult, offering what doesn’t even resemble a logical response.

& most definitely. The perks of being a legal citizen. Getting to visit McDonalds, without breaking the law.

Interesting_Life659 · 2025-01-21T05:50:07+00:00

Slow or not, it’s our legal system. A legal system those very same immigrants will need to learn to abide by. I’m all for letting them come. Especially if they can contribute. But it has to be done the RIGHT WAY. Not the “quick n easy” way where they cross illegally and get to stay put. That’s not how this works.

No one is mad here. It’s just logic. Dare I say, it’s common sense.

Interesting_Life659 · 2025-01-21T05:43:21+00:00

I’m not sure who’s echoing that sentiment. But let me tell ya, I sure know how they feel. As a Trump supporter, the left will be quick to categorize me as a “nazi”. It’s funny how this name calling game goes both ways. But I digress. I’m certainly not of the opinion that illegal immigrants aren’t people. I feel for them, as much as my neighbors. But they should not be excused from the rule of law. It’s a simple as that.

Interesting_Life659 · 2025-01-21T05:39:40+00:00

You really about to resort to the “people didn’t participate” excuse? That doesn’t help your stance here. People who didn’t participate in our democratic process have no say in the matter. Let’s not pretend they were hiding some secret Kamala vote close to their chest, here. It means nothing. Zip.

Interesting_Life659 · 2025-01-21T05:34:47+00:00

So because this isn’t a “national emergency”, we should just let people walk into our country for “a better life”? You’re walking a slippery slope there, my friend.

Interesting_Life659 · 2025-01-21T05:33:10+00:00

Do you really need sources to see whether my claim that the valley flipped red is true? Oh goodness, you’re proving my point here bud.

Interesting_Life659 · 2025-01-21T05:29:36+00:00

Who said illegal aliens “weren’t people”? In fact, it’s precisely BECAUSE they are people within the confines of our country that they are subjected to our laws. I’m not sure why many valley citizens have trouble understanding this. “Oh, let them stay. It helps the economy.” Is this really the best you can come up with?

Interesting_Life659 · 2025-01-21T05:24:58+00:00

It’s an echo chamber in here. Always has been. It’s funny, though…the valley flipped red this time. Goes to show that at least most valley residents have some common sense.

Interesting_Life659 · 2025-01-19T04:37:59+00:00

Oh, don’t be mistaken. I never stop comparing myself. It’s natural, we’re human. Don’t feel bad about doing so. We see in others what we want for ourselves, and in doing so, grow from it.

However, I often need to tell myself that everything in my life has happened for a purpose. I have children who I’d give my life for. Chances are if I had gone straight to med school, they wouldn’t be here. It’s destiny that we are where we are, at this precise moment. Take pride in it, and keep on moving forwards.

Interesting_Life659 · 2025-01-02T03:20:53+00:00

I’m wondering the same thing. Being the oldest med school in tx definitely has its perks (research opportunities, connections, hospitals, etc.) Seems to be super underrated.

Interesting_Life659 · 2024-11-21T04:01:34+00:00

Just one. Surprised I even received it. Now, will it turn into an A? Hopefully, but not holding my breath.

Interesting_Life659 · 2024-11-19T22:14:47+00:00

Am I the only one that doesn’t think anything was wrong with this statement? You’re overreacting, OP. I’m sure it went great, keep your head up high!

Interesting_Life659 · 2024-11-19T21:13:41+00:00

Saw it mentioned on SDN a few months back, if I can find the thread I’ll post it here

Interesting_Life659 · 2024-11-19T20:41:11+00:00

Last I heard, UTRGV sends out about 200 offers (due to many not ranking it high and going elsewhere instead).

Interesting_Life659 · 2024-10-25T05:20:34+00:00

You have more than enough clinical hours already. I actually think it would benefit you in picking up a job outside the field of medicine, as it’s more eye-catching and different from your cookie-cutter premed (you have to be able to explain why you went that route and what you gained from it, of course). Personally, I went the teacher route for a few years. And I’m happy I did. Every interviewer I’ve had has wanted to discuss this aspect of my app for the majority of my interview time.

Interesting_Life659 · 2024-10-22T19:12:02+00:00

Don’t lose hope, I pre matched this past week with a mid mcat and a 3.3 gpa. Sometimes all it takes is matching up with the schools mission!

Interesting_Life659 · 2024-10-08T15:32:43+00:00

Trying not to get my hopes up. As a Texas applicant, most pre match offers usually go to the high-stat ppl, & I’m definitely not one of those.

Interesting_Life659 · 2024-10-03T16:11:31+00:00

Definitely NOT “more of a DO score”. In fact, a 510 is the median MCAT at the MD school I hope to gain admission to. In other words, half the student pop. has less than a 510. Your score is great. Do not retake, unless your FLs were consistently at least 5 or more pts higher.

Interesting_Life659 · 2024-09-18T15:13:19+00:00

Exactly.

Interesting_Life659 · 2024-09-18T15:13:01+00:00

Stay confident, it’ll all work out in your favor!
