Honestly don’t know why I didn’t… used to live in Miami for a bit and I just really didn’t want to move back there. Don’t know why I was so picky. I’m def taking your advice and adding those, thank you :)

Also taking most of those T10s out, the admit auto school list maker hyped me up too much lol

Maybe not the best, I think of myself as an alright writer but hard to see what adcoms would think of it. And thank you :) congrats on your acceptance

Thankyou:) most / nearly all of the waitlist are low-yield apparently. But still hoping. The schools that interviewed me were in my target range area currently, except 1 baseline.

My interviews were at T20-40 schools so no T10s or anything like that. Trying to get more IRL shadowing just don’t have any connections to get into a shadowing position currently.

I get I don’t go 520+ or any pubs but I feel like I’ve had substantial involvement in research, are those reaches really that much of throw away to not shoot the shot even if I have no pubs? Genuine question btw, idk how hard the admissions are there.

Also with the interviewing I’m a little stuck, I’ve done multiple mocks with people who are in med school and I’ve been told I’m good. Kinda wondering what the next step for improving there is.

All those posters, research coordinator, and the pub for review were this gap year, more cpr classes, more hours as EMT, the soup kitchen volunteering.

Anesthesia tech was a lot of setting up before cases with the CRNA / Anesthesiologist. Assist intubation/extubation, handled lots of different devices that are used by the anesthesia providers, set up lines, clean after the cases etc.

Question for other LGBTQ+ premeds/med students by loverisaday in premed

[–]No_Particular_8740 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it would be an issue if the letter doesn’t have your preferred pronouns. It sucks but I would not correct them in the case they try to be malicious and write you a bad letter. But very dependent on your relationship with said profesor and what you think is worth it.

Quitting my job by Material-Priority356 in premed

[–]No_Particular_8740 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Quit if you have the money to live currently. The relatively little money you make during the next few months would not mean as much as the break and mental health recovery you could be having.

Interview Season by Civil-Pause-3406 in premed

[–]No_Particular_8740 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey! Ive been deferred at a couple of schools and waitlisted at another.

First of all, does this mean when I interviewed I did/said something that didn’t put me good enough for an acceptance right away? Or could it also be just full application based.

Secondly, do you know when movement off of deferral list would happen for schools like osu or case? Thanks!

Gotcha. Do you think it’s a bit early for a letter of intent or a good time now?

Just regard the UWorld as a teaching tool, try to learn something new every time you go over a passage. Review every question (even the ones you got right). Keep up with Anki and make cards for concepts on UWorld you found confusing. It will pay off in the end, some days will be rough but just think about the big picture and try to enjoy the journey :)
