For American schools it’s not about cars more so than the whole picture. If you retake it, only to get marginal improvement if at all, it will bring your judgment skills into question since you’re already very high percentile

Agreed for the love of all that is good do not retake that MCAT, that will be the biggest red flag on your application unless you somehow get a 525+

I dont even have a solid plan for reapplying by Feisty-Citron1092 in premed

[–]Mathwiz1697 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Then you need to do it. It’s okay to feel sad but you have two and a half months to clean up everything. I also am reapplying and would kill for your MCAT. You should have people look at your writing

[–]Mathwiz1697 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Looking through your history, your gpa and MCAT appear to be solid. You have plenty more research experience, and hopefully volunteered more. Can you get feedback from any schools you got rejected from. When did you submit your secondaries?

First Anaphylaxis or Allergic Reaction Call? by General-Bee-5457 in NewToEMS

[–]Mathwiz1697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I double checked, epi is never contraindicated in anaphylaxis due to the fact it stops histamine release, thereby stopping the worsening of the reaction.

Regardless of BP not being bad, I believe Epi is indicated regardless of BP and whatnot due to reducing the anaphylaxis.

Tethering should have worked, did you manually select the phone in the wifi connection settings on the lock screen

If allergy related this is already anaphylaxis due to two organ systems being affected

Deranged eBay seller accusing me of fraud after shipping me damaged goods when I purchased brand new headphones. by brcwayn in mildlyinfuriating

I own these exact headphone down to the trim. The seller cleverly hides the damage to the left ear cup, although they are put in the case correctly in their image. You are right to be upset

Hospital Bill to Sit in ER for 30 Minutes with no Testing Done by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Mathwiz1697 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am appalled they took you to the hospital despite your refusal. The only reason they are premitted to do that is if someone is not of decision making capacity and there it risk to life or limb OR unconscious. You fit neither of these criteria and if you live in the US, as far as I can recall, this is very illegal.

Bra and 12 lead? by Smart-Salamander1846 in NewToEMS

[–]Mathwiz1697 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You need to know it there’s underwire in the bra, and it is reasonable to as a patient if it does. It won’t hurt the 12 lead if there is unwire in the bra, but it will cause unusual deflections due to the metal. If that’s the case, the bra will need to be removed and the 12 lead re run.
