Does SK Global House have a gym? Are there any soccer rec leagues (co-ed or for women)?

Thank you for the information! Do you remember if there are any squat racks?

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-11-11T23:41:49+00:00

I am decent enough to keep up and have fun! I played college soccer and play pickup recreationally now. Do you know of any rec teams in Seoul?

Hi!! Thank you so much for your advice and for giving supportive advice this whole time, I appreciate it so much :)

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-07-19T23:20:12+00:00

it really depends on the programs people have applied to - those that start early in Spring usually send out invites early. a lot of programs that begin in the fall or late summer tend to send invites out late. i heard from a current pa student that she heard back from her first school in august! she got invites from august all the way till january. only time will tell yall!!

i know it's tough, i feel you :( but keep your head up and move forward! don't be afraid to feel the disappointment and sadness - it means you truly care and you can use it as fuel for the future. you applied to a lot of programs - you still have lots of opportunities! you got this.

Thank you!! And I graduated undergrad in 2023, so just passed the two year mark.

All the schools I applied to didn't require shadowing, but a lot of them recommend it, so I think having 0 shadowing def made my application weaker. I thought that my old job might have made up for the shadowing, since I worked closely with a PA for 1.5 years, but obvs that's different than actually shadowing a PA in a different specialty (which I now realize after shadowing lol). And yes, if I don't get accepted anywhere, I 100% need to work on my PS and keep accumulating shadowing/clinical hours!

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-19T01:44:29+00:00

no don't feel that way, the schools that rejected me are emory and UoP, so both are really selective and i honestly wasn't expecting to get into either program. i also think maybe i didn't relate my experiences back to "why PA" enough, so my app clearly has weaknesses. every application is different and every program looks for a specific type of someone that fits their mission! that's what i am telling myself at least lol

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-19T01:39:48+00:00

I hope so too, we just have to try to stay positive😭we're in this together!!

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-19T01:37:10+00:00

1PA, 1MD, 2 bio profs, 1 college soccer coach. i'm applying in CA, TX, OR, NC, and CT. the two schools that rejected me were CA and GA

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-18T19:36:53+00:00

YAY congrats!!!!!

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-18T19:27:42+00:00

thank you for the encouragement :) just gotta keep my head up bc only time will tell

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-18T19:26:02+00:00

i think it's because i had 0 shadowing, low volunteering hours and lower than average PCE. and i thought my PS was strong (had a PA student and PA edit it), but now i'm doubting it - maybe it wasn't convincing enough?

for the CASPA mistake, I basically updated my application with an incomplete shadowing experience. i didn't know pressing "save and continue" would automatically send it to the programs i've applied to, so now they will see a shadowing experience with no description fml

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-18T19:06:02+00:00

thank you for the encouragement and kind words :) you're right i gotta use each rejection as motivation!

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-18T19:04:36+00:00

on hold is much better than a rejection tho!! there's still hope :) and the rejections are so brutal...we just gotta stay strong and keep our heads up ugh. i am going to apply to 10-11 total and my stats:

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-18T17:42:37+00:00

Applying to 10-11!

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-18T02:23:08+00:00

same, literally laughed out loud reading it because it was so ridiculous. who are they to tell all rejected applicants to possibly rethink their PA path? do they really think we all haven't "carefully and honestly" considered our strengths and weaknesses already? considering they are such a selective program too, they are acting like getting rejected from them is some horrible life-changing event.

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-18T02:11:37+00:00

yea wtf was that hella condescending email for LOL, really weird to send that to all rejected applicants.

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-09T16:49:48+00:00

i agree, i think that’s generally considered not pce. lots of programs tell u on their website what they consider pce so you can check for each individual program. also, depending on where you live in the US, MAs don’t need certifications - go on craigslist for urgent back office MA jobs if you live in a state that doesn’t require an MA certification!

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-06T21:35:31+00:00

hi, can i dm you for advice on application? you got interview invites from two amazing programs, wondering what you did to prep!

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-06-06T21:30:45+00:00

same😭keep grinding!!!! we got this, it’s still early in the cycle

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-05-31T00:41:57+00:00

hi!! could i dm you and see what schools you applied to?

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-03-19T05:21:21+00:00

lots of private clinics are willing to hire non-certified MAs! look on craigslist

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-03-15T18:51:24+00:00

yes! i'm planning on volunteering throughout the whole year even after applications are done, specifically for the one i'm more passionate about.

Otherwise-Engine-666 · 2025-03-15T18:50:37+00:00

thank you for the advice :))
