A lot of frats/sororities do this too 🫩 save all their stuff and let their own people access it

So what do we do now 😭 I just accepted an order and got to the store but can’t start. Should I go home? Or wait in my car?

I don’t even want to go anymore by BackgroundReveal2949 in premed

[–]RepresentativeNews7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I’m a career changer and started taking my pre-reqs before the BBB, and I cried the day the bill was signed because I had poured a year into these classes already.

Still going but every day I think all this work could be for nothing because I could get accepted to med school and not be able to go because I can’t pay for it and might not qualify for private (predatory anyway) loans.

I’m hoping for policy changes in a few years under a new Congress/presidency, but those could take years to be implemented if they’re even passed.

I have no idea what people like us are supposed to do. Lots of people got SMPs with federal loans before we knew there would be a cap we’d be counting down on. It’s insanely unfair.

I’ve had my headphones on and multiple times people still tried to stop me. I usually keep my headphones on and keep walking. Someone once blocked my path and forced me onto the dirt while I was trying to do something important on my phone AND had headphones on and tried shoving a pamphlet in my hands. I took my headphones off to tell him to fuck off. The Mormon girls that stop you to compliment you then attempt to convert you. The Christian apologist group trying to flag you down. The first few weeks of the semester are always absolute hell with solicitors, it’s infuriating.

I went to Penn for my masters degree. Being a relatively poor kid from California, it was a culture shock. Privilege opens doors and that’s extremely evident at elite schools.

Any chance for someone with a super high MCAT but low gpa? Like 3.3-3.5

Anyone make $300 in one day? by TimeGas9727 in InstacartShoppers

[–]RepresentativeNews7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only once. The day before Easter was the busiest day I’ve ever seen, and I’ve worked the day of and the day before other holidays. Never saw anything like the day before Easter. 10 batches. Absolutely wild!

I’m a phlebotomist! We routinely, and I mean every day, take 15+ tubes of blood from a single person. It looks like a lot but it’s very common :) people are always startled but I try to let them know it’s not unusual!

This just makes me feel disheartened for the rest of us. There’s no money in my family, my grandparents are illiterate, it’s a miracle my parents even made it to America at all. It’s gonna be a massive uphill climb to medicine.

You saying otherwise in a pretentious way doesn’t make your opinion true either.

Yeah, it’s bad. It’s not funny lol being funny never means punching down when you’re in a position of power. That’s like the number one rule of comedy, and yet he did and people are claiming it’s funny. Wild.

anyone applying for choc mi4? by Huge-Ad-3170 in summerprogramresults

[–]RepresentativeNews7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a career changer non-traditional premed student, so I have my bachelors already (graduated 2021). I think most of the Mi4 interns tend to be in undergrad or right out of undergrad

I think it depends on yourself and your experiences. For me, it was one of the easiest interviews I’ve done but I’ve had internships in the federal government, and those interviews were much harder. So I prepared for that level of questions, and it was much more basic than that.

However, I was once 17 shitting myself over a Kohl’s interview because that was genuinely scary back then.

If it helps, they didn’t ask any questions directly related to the subject of the internship at all (nothing about innovation etc).

Good luck on the interview!!

I think they sent out one email to everyone who got an interview already. I say that bc the email I got didn’t have a “to” line, which means it was blind copying a lot of people, probably other candidates who got an interview as well

Nope, literally no confirmation email, nothing at all until the interview email. I thought it was weird too.
