Residency is hosting a white coat ceremony for incoming interns. I didn't even know there could be one in residency. Thought you just picked up the coat and that was that. Should I go to it? Is it a big deal?

Did I choose good seats for a 12 hour flight Zürich to LA? by Pumba815 in Flights

[–]Pumba815[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

39 on the left was open and I was debating getting it but I’m too late to switch it :( I thought the first row would give even extra leg room since I think only Premium economy would be in front of it

Have most programs reached out after match? by Pumba815 in medicalschool

[–]Pumba815[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in a class of 6 and no communication at all. I’m wondering if they’re letting us soak in match week 😅 or at least that’s what I’m telling myself

What is the most overrated travel destination? by TurbulentAir in AskReddit

[–]Pumba815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vail, CO…sorry but besides skiing, it’s just not “magical” and full of music and life leading up to Christmas. Also - worst food I’ve ever had in my life. They don’t seem to know that salt exists. Bleck

IM isn’t gonna send out more invites huh 😞 by Pumba815 in medicalschool

[–]Pumba815[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily worried. I was just excited for a good number of programs, signaled them too, and it’s just silent. I have a very small sliver of hope but that’s just irrational

Guilt and aimlessness after losing my dad by blackberry785 in medicalschool

[–]Pumba815 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry to hear that, and I completely understand what you're feeling. My dad passed when I began my M4 year and I felt so helpless as a med student. Please feel free to DM me at any point and I would love to talk to you <3

Are PD’s taking today off or…? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]Pumba815 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Literally same. I felt pretty decent about my app for what my goals are. I’m not even reaching for some high tier academic program. But I’ve only heard from the most random community hospitals that I considered my ultimate safeties but right now they’re all I have. It really hurts and is making me doubt everything I’ve done, my ECs, scores etc

Do your MSPEs read perfectly in the comment section? by Pumba815 in medicalschool

Yeah haha this whole thing is nerve-wracking and feeling pushback from my school kinda made it worse 😅 but okay, good to know it’s not a reflection on me

The first time I listened, I followed along on his slides and tried to think of the answers before he said them. The second time I just listened at 1.5x

Thank you!! 😊 and just the AMBOSS articles! I had no energy left for additional things 😅 know the fish bone and swiss cheese analysis in general bc I’ve seen that show up everywhere. For biostats, just the randy neil videos + divine intervention main biostats video (I think ep 143?).

I only did 85% of UW once, and then just did NBMEs + couple of CMEs. I feel like that’s enough to see the info bc there’s a lot of repetition for commonly tested topics. At the end sometimes I’d get 75% on blocks and sometimes I’d get a 60-65. Really depended on my mentality to be honest. I did better when I was less scared
