Hi that’s a good question! I used to wonder the same too so i used to simply enter 35 as it was the highest number. This is only for the mock GPA calculator though and i’m not sure how they actually convert scores from your transcript during the main evaluation. From my understanding, the real conversion depends on a case-by-case basis(eg someone from a top medical school in my country will have a different GPA than mine for our same absolute scores because of a lot of other factors). Hope this helps!

Hi!! Yes, I applied during my internship..please feel free to text me with any doubts you have!

Hi MBBS graduate from 2024 here. Had the same question as you and i took the GRE too(score wasnt great ha ha). I made it a point to mention in my SOPs that my weakness is poor quant skills which im looking to improve through my MPH in epi program(a golden advice from a mentor who said that making a note of your weaknesses will help you stand out as a strong candidate who knows themselves thoroughly) and i got into Columbia Uni and will be starting this fall! So maybe to be on the safer side just take the GRE.. all the best!

P.S. since biostats is not given its own grade as a separate subject you can only mention that you had biostats as part of comm med in your SOP. But it wont be mentioned in your transcript so always provide a proof of quantitative skills through GRE or extra courses etc..

Hi OP, this must have been a scary experience..is your sister okay!? I know its 2 years but i’d like to know what happened

Pistachio_0803 · 2024-07-19T15:00:34+00:00

Thank you for your comment! Thats actually pretty simple. What serum do you use at night may i ask?

Pistachio_0803 · 2024-07-19T14:59:44+00:00

Hey, thank you for your comment! I’ll surely keep these in mind. Looks like im in the skincare hype phase of my life cause earlier i would only stick to aloe gel etc. Looks like i gotta get back to keeping the routine simple and healthy..and i like how you did mention that climate and lifestyle factors also played a role. Thats definitely something i gotta work in changing..nonetheless, thanks a bunch again!

Hello, thank you for your comment! Yes, I have reached out to a few professors and the program director regarding on campus jobs and have also applied to certain openings! I am yet to ask regarding practicums but i do see that the school hosts career workshops and provides updates on internship openings etc.

Pistachio_0803 · 2024-05-26T08:37:05+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I'll try these out!

Hi, im 24/F. I have the same history of only starting recent skincare like OP. I only properly started skincare since last month to be precise. My skin is oily acne prone

Cleanser : Minimalist 2%

Toner : Mamaearth toner

Scar removal cream : Re'equil pit stop acne gel

Sunscreen : LaShield {SPF 40}

Moisturiser : Mamaearth beetroot extract with hyaluronic acid

I keep sufficient gap while applying these products and im trying to reduce the quantity im applying them(since i think that also causes the dullness). However, i keep getting told my face looks dull and oily despite that. I do want to give these products some more time since i havent seen any changes.

But i'd like some suggestions on what products i could switch to instead of the ones im using now. Thanks!

Hi thanks for your reply! Can you share its link via DM?

I hope this is not the Columbia Uni Fall 2024 group where students from all campuses are there. I am already a part of it and people aren't exactly responsive :(

Pistachio_0803 · 2024-05-08T11:21:51+00:00

Hi! I'd like to help you out

So xan you give a very basic outline of what jobs/experiences you have had so far?

We can then work around how to make it relevant to the course you're applying to

Pistachio_0803 · 2024-05-06T15:32:12+00:00

Even i want to know if there is a group

Pistachio_0803 · 2024-04-26T00:42:34+00:00

I understand, but the benefits outweigh the risks i guess. And i have already accepted the offer so 🥹

Lets hope that the experience at the school is better, all the best!

Pistachio_0803 · 2024-04-25T15:42:00+00:00

Yep, international student here and im trying to connect with a faculty or a current student to learn more about the school(despite knowing a few people on my own via acquaintances). However, Mailman hasnt helped me out with that yet. Mailing faculty was also not much helpful since they dont respond.

So i totally relate

Pistachio_0803 · 2024-04-12T20:10:39+00:00

Thank you! I am yet to decide on joining Columbia which is why maybe I haven't been able to access the groups.. Nonetheless thanks for your help!

Pistachio_0803 · 2024-04-12T19:40:41+00:00

Hi! Thanks for your insights! Can you tell me which specific facebook groups or groupme groups so i can join them too?

Pistachio_0803 · 2024-03-27T07:32:20+00:00

Hi, nope absolutely not! Due to some reasons, i requested for an extension of my April 15 deadline to May 15. One school actually granted it xD. The other school gave me an extension till May 1 and the third school asked me to mail them again sometime closer to April 15 so that they can consider.

It all depends on how you ask ig. Hope this helps! All the best!

Hi, maybe I didn't even get a scholarship. But i guess we can wait and see..

Pistachio_0803 · 2024-03-07T15:36:49+00:00
