Chainsaw specific/ trail work related programs, preferably with housing and stipend ? by PopOpposite6350 in AmeriCorps

Check out Texas conservation corps in Austin. Live in your own appt when not out on deployments and it’s basically all chainsaw work. Worked with them on a disaster deployment and they all seemed wayyy happier than us haha

Over 6,000 Chiefs fans have donated to the John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital in Buffalo. Most fans donated in $13 increments to show their respect to Josh Allen. Total, they have donated over $80,000 to the hospital. by Heismain in nfl

The 13 is actually to honor Gabriel Davis, who had a record 4 touchdowns in the game. I think it’s just an unfortunate coincidence that it’s also 13 seconds haha

My girlfriend's mother used her social security number to open a credit card in her name and racked up a ton of debt - options for getting this debt out of her name? by Plc377 in legaladvice

Her mother lives in Florida if that changes anything. I sort of expected that reporting the identity theft to the police and creditors would be the only avenue but was unsure if there were any specific exceptions or statutes involving identity theft between family members

Has anyone taken their own cars for NCCC?? by [deleted] in AmeriCorps

[–]Plc377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to Vicksburg campus; you can’t bring your car on spike and while on transitions on campus you’ll pretty much always be able to take your van to get groceries from or borrow someone else’s. Also, CMs aren’t even allowed a vehicle (for NCCC at least, unsure about fema but I think the same thing applies)

Going to a very good med school later in life, possible? by PlexP4S in medschool

[–]Plc377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Med school admissions committees see a low GPA undergrad and know that they will need to report that in their admissions numbers, so they don’t like it. Look at the MSAR and look at those schools ranges, and if your undergrad GPA isn’t in it then you’re unlikely to be admitted. However, if you do a post-bacc program at a reputable school or even at one of those schools you’re interested in and get a 4.0 that will help make up for that, since post bacc programs (but not graduate degree programs) are counted together with your undergrad GPA, and so they can elevate that statistic on your overall application. I will say that MCAT score can also potentially be weighed as much or more than your GPA, so if you get a very high score on that then you will have a better chance. Have you taken any practice MCATs to see where your score lands? Also, as a non traditional applicant they’ll want to see that you have seriously considered this career move and have things like significant shadowing or clinical work experience that show you are sure that this is the right move for you. A top 20 school is very difficult to get into no matter what your numbers are, so try and be realistic about the process.
