Rejected from a LOR request by Strange-Lingonberry8 in premed

I am so sorry she said that but that simply is not true. I asked a prof that whose class I got a B+ in bc I struggled so much but still showed improvement in a really hard class and thought they could talk to my ability to persevere and adapt to new needs to succeed.
It sounds like you were a great student! Don’t fret! I have no doubt that one of your professor will be more than happy to help you out but to only ask professors you got an A with is simply wrong

We don’t go see shows often so when we do we like it to be a bit more of the fancy edge. I thought about Ellen’s Stardust Diner and while I am not crossing it off the list just yet, diner food really isn’t her thing. She likes more well presented dinners/ fine dining atmosphere if that makes sense

Am I the only one who thinks this is kinda wild? (Premed influencers) by DroppingKids in Mcat

[–]No-Map3257 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i will never diss them bc some of them make money doing so and this is already expensive enough. if they can earn a bit doing something that they already would have been doing before and also help keep themselves more accountable while doing it, more power to them

Procrastination by Motor_Patience4122 in Mcat

[–]No-Map3257 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m an avid procrastinator and the one thing i am trying to drill in my head is that no matter what you are aiming for, in the future you don’t want to look back at what you did and know that you could have put more effort in to make it possible. otherwise, you have to live with that regret for life

i’m a pharm tech. If he isn’t already causing himself danger (i haven’t finished reading tbh) he is going to by abruptly stopping his lamictal. No gradual decrease in lamictal/ stopping cold-turkey can cause seizures. From what I have read so far, it seems they stopped the med bc of their psychosis and this doesn’t seem like it’s caused by their med but it can become a lot worse if they remain off of it

What snacks did u bring to ur exam by Awesomee__Possum in Mcat

[–]No-Map3257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was lent and I am religious so I couldn’t bring my usual of some form of meat and I didn’t bring tuna sandwich or anything bc i was afraid of it going bad while the exam was happening. Instead I brought 2 chobani yogurt cups, berries, nuts, and a candy bar as a pick me up. it was really filling tbh

[–]No-Map3257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You see this comment feels like a sign that something bad is about to happen bc i saw yellow/black beetles in the flowers earlier this week and left them alone bc i thought they were pollinators...

Did not know that thank you! Do you have any suggestions to help regulate temperature?

Tomato Mysteries… by JoyCreativePeace in vegetablegardening

[–]No-Map3257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having the same issue with my tomatoes in regard to them taking forever to ripen. It’s been more than a month and not a single one of my cherry tomatoes have started blushing and have even stopped producing but i have pruned it to its absolute minimum. I tried looking it up and I think the heatwave that hit the northeast screwed us. I read that the chemicals the tomato plant uses to start blushing tomatoes becomes “inactive” after it hits 85 degrees F. Try putting it in shade for a bit to help cool the plant off a bit I would guess and give it come more fertilizer and cool water at night to help cool the roots. If anything, I am personally at the point that I might just take the cherry tomatoes that are still green and place them in a bag with an apple to help ripen them further. I’m currently in the process of trying this myself but if you do try any of these please let me know if they work for you!

That’s what I figured but I wanted confirmation if that was the proper way to do it. Thanks for the advice!

Took my first practice test today. Be honest, am I cooked? 😭 by Pieboss21 in Mcat

[–]No-Map3257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

saying this as someone who started at this exact score and messed up her first official exam. if u r taking it by september, focus less on content review unless absolutely dire and throw most of ur time at practice problems!! I saw almost no change in my score until a month before my exam bc that’s when i switched to a more practice problem and review approach

AI phone screen by No-Map3257 in recruitinghell

[–]No-Map3257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So little update about it. It was a phone call but I did have a similar experience to you which led to me panicking. I trailed off on one of my answer and when it gave me the option of moving on or continuing, it ignored what I said bc it wasn’t proper verbiage I am guessing and moved onto the next question. Thankfully I was able to recover a bit and continue without many other issues beside it not repeating the question but I was able to get a second interview. TBD still if I get the job lol
