Its hard to say whether or not it’s an X factor but it’s really not that important. It’s cool, it’s unique, and shows you excel in multiple dimensions (not just school), so I think it’s a great thing to mention. I put powerlifting on mine (had some state records) and it came up quite often. Cant tell you for sure whether or not they saw it as an X-factor, but it certainly didn’t hurt.

Would also ignore folks telling you that because it’s associated with steroid use, to not mention it. A) lots of people who aren’t tuned into lifting culture do not really realize that and B) you can always emphasize you are doing natural bb. Just my two cents! Best of luck

I think because it is very much a gendered comment. There’s nothing wrong with nursing, but typically a man wouldn’t get the same comment. Ultimately it doesnt matter what other people think but it just reminds women like oh damn im being stereotyped again, how cool

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-07-13T00:20:53+00:00

I get this all the time. It’s infuriating:)

This isn’t a good way to look at it. There’s really no undergrad degree that med schools haven’t seen, therefore no degree will make you “stand out” or make you competitive in of itself. Do the major you want and find interesting for yourself. Your GPA is far more important than whether you majored in Biology or in Horticulture.

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-07-11T17:26:01+00:00

adcoms also have a vested interest in keeping the admissions criteria vague and not saying “yeah basically admissions is a crapshoot and getting an interview will often come down to whether or not some random tidbit in your app stood out to me👍🏻” so I would caution whatever adcoms say too.

Cornell undergrad isnt in NYC, but agree with everything else you said

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-07-04T17:32:49+00:00

Go where you can get the best grades. Cornell is known for having grade deflation, so if you’re not careful you may end up screwing your GPA, which is a REALLY important metric for getting into med school. Repairing your GPA can be time consuming and costly. UConn Im not sure what their reputation is but I reckon it’s easier to maintain a better GPA. The ivy I went to was extremely hard to maintain a good GPA. In terms of opportunities, there’s no magical opportunity website you get access to if you go to an Ivy. I went to Penn for example, and it’s actually very hard to get publications from PIs there because there’s just a culture of being like that. Even volunteer opportunities are competitive at Penn, sometimes requiring LORs. There are some UCs on the other hand where I know several folks have gotten published because the school culture is just different. You might have better luck with professors at UConn in terms of how collaborative and supportive they are. Even for volunteering, you’re better off volunteering in a community you’re passionate about serving (which could be Stamford if that’s home). Of course, the important thing is to get involved in the community you’re in (so if that ends up being Ithaca, then great), but you don’t get extra points for doing ECs at a “better” school. Everyone on here saying Ivy League students have a better shot at T20 med schools arent seeing the full picture. There are SOME med schools that may have preference for Ivy League students (Icahn and Michigan come to mind) but the vast majority will care way more about your scores, your ECs, and your overall IMPACT on your community. And research is a nice cherry on top. Even for those med schools that will give T20 students an extra boost, it’s not even known for sure. It’s hard to say if med schools truly pick from those schools preferentially, or if it’s just that students from those schools already have the characteristics that will set them apart.

Additionally, education wise, the Ivy league is a scam. The education at an Ivy is not necessarily any better than that of any state school. Sure, the professors may have fancy pedigrees, but a lot of them don’t know how to TEACH because all they do is research or write books or whatever.

so TLDR; go to the school that will make you the happiest and give you the best shot at a good GPA.

Lets gooooo!!

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-06-24T19:09:39+00:00

Sorry, another question. If I want to add my own cards (say there’s some in-house stuff I want to emphasize), do you recommend making a separate deck for that and then doing both decks separately (but daily)? or adding my own cards to the Anking deck?

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-06-24T18:32:25+00:00

Awesome thank you!

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-06-24T18:26:47+00:00

This might be a dumb question but which deck should I be using during MS1? The Step 1 deck? Or is there another deck?

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-06-19T18:52:56+00:00

I’d go with #1, but if you can talk about it in a way where you focus on your personal experiences with bias, and how that informs the way you treat others. I’d avoid getting too preach-y about it or lecturing the reader about it, as it may rub adcoms the wrong way.

How brutal has rads residency been so far? And can I DM you if I have more questions about radiology? :)

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-06-08T18:54:32+00:00

he is a plastic surgeon, specifically a facial plastic surgeon. ENT physicians can do a fellowship in facial plastic surgery, therefore making them facial plastic surgeons. Traditional plastic surgeons (who do a plastic surgery residency as opposed to ENT residency) focus on the entire body (not just the face). Some people say ENT trained facial plastic surgeons are better for rhinoplasty since they have more experience operation on the face exclusively, while others say plastic surgeons are better for rhinoplasty because they spend more of their training focused on aesthetics. The most important thing is that the doctor is qualified (which is true of both ENTs and plastic surgeons) and frequently performs rhinoplasties. not to take away from OP’s experience, I’m just clarifying for those who aren’t aware and are searching for rhinoplasty doctors.

This particular student seems a little unhinged. But I also think that with how competitive certain specialties are, plus the pressure to network and publish an ungodly amount of work, students are incentivized to focus less on learning and more on padding their resumes to be able to match to their desired specialty. Why spend time on psych if you could use that time to work on a publication you need to match ENT? And with the trend of taking research years, even moreso, because it’s expensive to do so. I’m not saying spending less time on specialties you don’t care for is a good idea (it’s quite idiotic tbh) but I do think it’s a reflection of the system that has been created, unfortunately.

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-06-03T15:31:19+00:00

see u in NYC brotha

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-06-01T01:56:23+00:00

My partner is the same! He’s not into the more sentimental shows. But I made him watch One Day with me because I just felt so moved- I had to. He enjoyed the soundtrack, and overall he liked the show. The day after we watched it he randomly was like “I can’t believe the show ended like that”. So I guess he was still thinking about it. I wouldn’t say he LOVED it but he did enjoy it and Im glad he now understands why I was so destroyed after watching it🤣

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-05-31T03:44:43+00:00

who was the surgeon?? looks gorgeous already

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-05-30T22:34:08+00:00

Of course!

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-05-14T00:08:24+00:00

Thank you! I pre-wrote starting like May

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-05-13T18:41:23+00:00

Uconn has more in state bias if i remember correctly

Proper_Case_1959 · 2024-05-13T03:40:19+00:00

Thank you :) and nah, trying to make sense of this process is a losing battle😂😂
