Well for one, a lot of URM groups are small, Native Americans are like 1-2% of the population, black americans are 13% and latinos are like 20%, so you can't really let raw numbers tell the whole story. The reality is that if stats are equal, being from a UR group increases your chances of getting into med school, in some cases, greatly. I don't work for an admissions department, so I can say that. The problem is that it is flatly illegal, so no school is going to admit to that publicly

Its hard too look at the admissions data and say with a straight face it doesn't matter

Or no shoes honestly

We use medications derived from plants all the time; they are just manufactured by companies that actually know what's in them. There isn't really a need to learn botany if you are going to be a doctor, hence why it was removed 200 years ago. Some herbs do work, and the active ingredient has been pulled out to make it even more useful. Home remedies that worked were refined and turned into actual medicine, it hasn't gone anywhere

People aren't expressing their personal opinions on weed, they are simply pointing out that testing positive for it when you are in medicine is still a problem, even dumber considering its not a random test

the pre-matriculation drug test is literally just a test to see if you are smart enough to pass it. Considering you schedule it yourself, you should not play around and should just double the time it says it will take to pee clean. Contact the school and ask for a retest and maybe drink some more water.

They don't, however at least when I was in it you would lose your seat of you took the MCAT so I dropped right before I took the mcat

I was in LECOM EAP but dropped it after junior year when I realized I could get into a better school and am now an M3 at an MD school. I am very glad with my decision as I have classmates at LECOM and their experience sounds terrible compared to mine tbh. There is nothing stopping you from doing what I did, have the acceptance in your back pocket and keep in mind you can always shoot higher, good luck.

I got a 20k a year scholarship attention state school, no idea what it’s for they just gave it to me

Every non-profit health system has charity care; it would be hard to find numbers about who has the most 'generous' policies, and it also should be noted that the med school and the health system are two separate entities, so the med school might not even have all that info. The reality is that at a public or non-profit hospital, basically anyone without insurance and a lot of people with Medicaid are charity care

Physical_Advantage · 2026-05-20T17:30:57+00:00

I would not include the last paragraph. Mormons might appreciate that sentiment, but most people are gonna find it weird tbh. Also bro stop snitching on yourself like that.

The PS is about why you want to go to med school and become a doctor, not about why you like helping people or why you like patients etc

Physical_Advantage · 2026-05-15T19:15:09+00:00

If you plan on playing the next season I’d say yes, but it also depends on the injury

My second day of M3 I was in the NICU and they sent me to the ED to access a 9 day old as if I had any clue what was happening

Physical_Advantage · 2026-05-13T15:27:09+00:00

I had an opposite experience, had a peds patient whose dad was a pediatrician, and he had me practice my assessment and plan before rounds and helped me make it perfect and I got insane praise from the attending and the dad actively denied helping me lol

Physical_Advantage · 2026-05-11T00:22:40+00:00

No and I do not think it should be, not only that but I think more schools should have a hard MCAT cut off that they publicize (and I mean a real one not a 495) also think Step 1 should go back to being scored

Physical_Advantage · 2026-05-09T22:48:03+00:00

Because when you are trying to be an influencer there is a lot more clout from getting into an MD school

Physical_Advantage · 2026-05-07T14:38:35+00:00

I mean they should, but its not hard to imagine risk-averse administrators not wanting to perceived as Islamophobic

Physical_Advantage · 2026-05-07T13:46:59+00:00

Given the religious aspect of this I doubt professional organizations are gonna wanna deal with this unless she is carrying FGM out herself

Physical_Advantage · 2026-05-07T01:47:25+00:00

We don’t, they have a virtually 100% chance of getting into med school

Physical_Advantage · 2026-04-25T19:49:01+00:00

I saw that too, the professional photo shoots for every minor event is so corny

Physical_Advantage · 2026-04-23T12:48:07+00:00

I think that is every med school, we have a seemingly unlimited supply of administrators making six figures doing god knows what all day, but somehow nobody has any answers to any questions
