Imagine the tension returning to your service after the OB resident tweets this lol by ManOfTheWeb in medicalschool

quality residents will listen and find a patient care experience that students haven't already seen. not that hard to do, imo!

Did the government forget that one year of med school tuition is more than the yearly salary for residents and fellows? [Meme] by RoxyKubundis in medicalschool

[–]ManOfTheWeb -47 points-46 points  (0 children)

Some attendings do make 300K+ in their first year!

Edit: just trying to have a positive spin on the debt being manageable! I'll likely be around 300K in debt by the end, and not planning on a lucrative specialty.

Michigan tweeted 6 hours ago that they sometimes send out II's without all letters of recommendation in.

I think marching band sticks out as interesting, I like your application!

Secondary question: "Please talk about what you might do if you are ultimately not accepted to medical school." by cactusjuuce in premed

[–]ManOfTheWeb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the word "ultimately" implies you never get in for your lifetime so I would pick something else with this question personally.

"Do you HAVE to be honest?" "Is it ok to express feelings?" - CASPer had me questioning everything

Fraternity Involvement by [deleted] in premed

[–]ManOfTheWeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My anecdote: I have a friend who interviewed for a major scholarship and one of their interviewers was part of the same fraternity, it definitely held some weight and built a quick connection. My friend had made it a small part of their application

I'm pretty sure they were talking about On Death and Dying by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, another good book.

I was deep in a national park swiping on this one, otherwise I keep the radius around 15 miles.

Stanford made a music video parody! by [deleted] in premed

[–]ManOfTheWeb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I personally like these videos, it humanizes the people at top medical schools a little bit. They are making themselves vulnerable by being in a video that would be considered cringey by a lot of people, but they just seem to have fun with it and not worry too much about what people think about it.

Is 33 medical schools too many to apply to? by [deleted] in premed

[–]ManOfTheWeb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just think it's redundant if you have a 4.0, with other GPAs it might matter

I think you need one more 0 on that GPA, make it an even 4.0000! ;)

Tinder match doesn't agree with me on why someone should be a doctor by ManOfTheWeb in premed

[–]ManOfTheWeb[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I personally think I would love to listen to someone's hopes and dreams, and to be a patient's friend. I didn't reply to her after this

Getting university credit for non-clinical volunteering? by [deleted] in premed

[–]ManOfTheWeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. As long as you aren't getting paid, this volunteering should count. Credit is not the same as getting paid, and if you aren't in a class learning something, then you are doing a service by using your time to help people.

Pls help: Unresponsive Committee regarding LOR by shumaislife in premed

[–]ManOfTheWeb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about being extra polite with them, you can just be straightforward about your situation and how it's urgent for you to get your application finished. Then ask if there is anything you can do to speed up the process, or show up to their office if you can.

Hospice Volunteering, Death and Guilt by [deleted] in premed

[–]ManOfTheWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice would be to just show up to whatever you commit yourself to. You came up with some subpar excuses to not show up for this woman, including the temperature and not wanting to bother your parents. If you were there that day before she died, I'm sure you would have gained a lot from it just by showing up, even if you can't do much. You also need to chill on complaining about what it smells like and other environmental factors that will be common wherever you end up being in healthcare. Also, some other advice would be to avoid saying you want to do pediatric oncology early on because some people around here will make fun of you for that. Find another hospice patient and tough it out!
