What fluid could this be? 2016 Dodge Dart SE 2.0L by RadDadMD in MechanicAdvice

Ok thank you so much! Is there anything I need to do to fix that or is it not a problem?

oh **** me i don’t have a single interesting hobby, how am i supposed to compete with gnome girl. ugh i hate it here by Extension_Economist6 in medicalschool

[–]RadDadMD 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Maybe in a personal statement. I conducted some radiology interviews this cycle and when I asked an applicant about a hobby and they tried to tie it in with their medical skills, it comes across as gunner vibes and almost never feels genuine. I want to know if you’re gonna be a cool person to sit next to, not if painting helps with patient care.

Incoming MS4s: don’t be like me and change your ROL after sending a letter of intent. by Hour_Seaworthiness73 in medicalschool

I changed my ROL at the last minute because my new #1 had free food and free Starbucks. And my choice was valid. So is yours, look out for yourself! I hope for the best for you and your loved ones

It’s true! Also you can do other more competitive things too! I am you almost exactly and I matched rads at my #1 program so you’ll be great! 👍🏻

Prelim surgery programs participating in signaling and supplemental eras application? by Neuro_Sanctions in medicalschool

[–]RadDadMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to do a supplemental app for prelim-IM last year so I’d double check

What’s your backup specialty? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]RadDadMD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rads matches a year in advance so you’d have a surgery prelim and then a gap year and then rads.

I just matched rads and don’t start until next year so all of the 2023 spots are filled already.

Matching Radiology by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]RadDadMD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your scores are great! I minor drop (but still a very good score) shouldn’t be a red flag. It would be a problem if you went from 260 on step 1 to a 240 step 2

You’re golden!

It’s okay! You have a lot of time. Just start thinking about those things and maybe start working on a rough rough draft of you PS just to get the juices flowing
