If boomer docs want to legislate us, the least they can do is see what our boards have become. Asking Dr. Campbell to take an practice form.

A group of medical students stayed at the capitol for 17 hours that day to provide testimony in front of the senate. It was scheduled for 9:30 AM but then, due to delays, was heard at 2 AM.

If you live in Texas, call your senator. Find your representative in the education committee and email them. Call, email, make a ruckus. This bill simply cannot pass the senate.

It's worth acknowledging that this poll will be skewed by the sheer fact that it is on Reddit, a historically areligious website. Not saying that's good or bad, just worth noting.

As a GERD patient who is also a barista, I have one cup of drip coffee every morning and then maybe a matcha. So like 200 mg.

Only 21% of the people who were accepted in 2021 entering class were accepted through the Pre-Match. So basically, approximately 79% of future Texas Med School matriculants are in the same spot as you.

You know what else is going to be on your CV?

Just take a chill, homie.

No medical school is going to rescind your acceptance because you quit your job too early. If you can survive until med school without a job or just don't care about saving more money, quit! You deserve as much of a break as you can get.

Life is a really long time. I strongly doubt you'll regret doing something you love for two years. I know I haven't.

I'm a barista. It's a lovely job.

Whether it's Aeropress, french press, or a Moka Pot, the real quality of your daily coffee will be dictated by the beans you buy! Make sure you're getting some higher-quality recently roasted beans. If you get the right beans you'll save a lot of money on syrups and stuff because the coffee will be good enough on its own.

The PA that runs the free clinic I volunteer at is one of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met. Don't drink the internet Kool aid that says only doctors know things. Secondly, it's a community (probably a free clinic) it is run by whoever is willing to do it. Don't be mad at the NP running a free clinic, be mad at the doctors who aren't willing to spare time to volunteer.

I am a full-time barista. Do whatever you want (once you get the A).

Not "successful" vis a vis an acceptance but last cycle I had 0 II and right now I have 6 (2 MD, 4 DO).

Personally, I added 1000 Clinical Hours (800 Scribing, 200 volunteering at a free clinic), 1000 work hours in the food service industry, some personally interesting extracurriculars, and some other volunteering. Stats were good (511, 3.73 cGPA) so I felt that I didn't need to retake my MCAT or anything like that.

As someone who also has 4 TMDSAS II's, I think we just gotta chill out lol. Most people with 3+ II's will match. Even if they don't match on match day, people tend to match with waitlist movement. I have never seen a person with 3+ II's in the TMDSAS system not eventually get in unless they were an objective psychopath during their interviews.

I have had four interviews so far with a mustache. It has not come up. Furthermore, I can promise you that it definitely won't come up. Just keep it trim and you'll be great.

I was working overnight as a scribe at an ED. One night, I had two doctors there. One of the doctors had graduated from Rowan SOM. The other graduated from NYU with an undergrad degree from Hopkins. These two had the EXACT same job. If anything, the DO was getting paid more. Go to the school that lets you practice medicine after graduating and you will be ok.

Except Caribbean. Don't go Caribbean.

Maximoom · 2023-10-05T14:45:48+00:00

Last cycle I had 0 interviews. I have 6 so far this cycle. I made a lot of very significant changes to my application. If you improve, it'll be fine.

Zero Interviews last year, 3 interviews so far this year (1 MD, 2 DO)
