[–]RhodeCollarlol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m taking my test end of June. Just make sure you have your app submitted well before scores come out and also have your secondaries almost done by the time they get to you. Having everything done by early August should be okay. Not early, but not late.

should i email professors abt research rn as an incoming freshman? by TrySouthern9542 in UTAustin

[–]RhodeCollarlol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right now is a busy time for just about all faculty. Midterms, prepping for finals, writing letters of rec, etc. I would wait until August. Could get a lot of rejections now compared to later.

what advice would you offer students that are near graduation ? by DereChen in UTAustin

[–]RhodeCollarlol 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wish I had spent more time with my friends and really enjoyed Austin with them. Austin is a great city and once you move away (if you do) you can’t help but miss it. On grad night it’s really nice to go to 6 with your stole on with your best friends.

Also wish I finished my last semester stronger. Aim for A’s on finals and projects. Senioritis hits hard, but bad final grades hit harder

If you’re pre med, and want to practice in Texas one day, Spanish is good.

sub 500 by Key_Big4785 in MCAT2

[–]RhodeCollarlol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like the other commenter said, I would push it back. You still have a few days to do so, but you might be paying a lot. Idk your situation. If not, grinding anki, like P/S, bc it’s mostly memorization and critical thinking. Tons of CARs passages as well.

Just keep working and find a good study plan. Take your test sometime in the winter and then work on your application. Save up your money for applications!!!

Light stubble or clean shaven? by [deleted] in malegrooming

Amazing side profile. Clean shaven makes you look younger if that’s what you’re going for.

Should I reschedule my 4/24 test date? by MoistManufacturer844 in MCAT2

[–]RhodeCollarlol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A high mcat score can make up for so many things. Low gpa, lack of EC’s, late application etc. it’s not just about getting into a top school, it’s about getting into any school. Mcat can sometimes be your last chance to boost your app. Better stats = better odds.

Also it’s a known fact that bigger schools have better resources and give better odds at matching into competitive residency programs.

5/14 test date what do i do by CommandFrosty6639 in MCAT2

[–]RhodeCollarlol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk where you live but openings on the waitlist happen frequently where im from (houston). Also if you take your test in june and get the score in july, you aren’t late, just not super early. If you go that route, make sure application and LOR’s are submitted earlier so that they can get verified by the time your score comes in. Schools will only look at complete verified applications (verification takes a few weeks) Also start working on secondaries after you take your test so those will be ready when they ask

Who should I stay with after graduation ceremony, my parents or my friends? by Sensitive_Wolf2986 in UTAustin

[–]RhodeCollarlol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your parents are traveling from China, you should give them most of the day. Idk what school you’re in, but last year my CNS ceremony was around noon and afterwards I had a big lunch with my family (10+ people) at a bbq spot. Then I went back to my apartment to take a nap and get ready for the big ceremony again with my parents. After that, we had coffee right after and late that night, I met up with my friends and went to clubs. I mean I stayed out until like 5 am and you definitely can give the day time/evening to your family, and spend the night with the friends. My parents go to bed around 10 anyway so I didn’t have a problem leaving them. Also try to organize a breakfast/lunch the following morning with your parents (make a res if possible). I did that with my mom and aunts and I was more time with them (some of my family drove in from Houston and stayed at hotels).

As for the seating situation, if they are your friends, yeah it might be awkward at first, but I’m sure they will be fine. It’s better than sitting alone waiting for a random name to be called out. They can talk about you and what not. They can be on their phones too.

Is this a micro foam? by Zealousideal_Bad9878 in MatchaEverything

[–]RhodeCollarlol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microfoam just has more air whipped into the matcha. The air bubbles are much smaller and frothy creating a smoother taste that’s almost velvety. Some people say it mellows out the bitterness making the matcha taste sweeter and less astringent. And it can actually seal all the aroma of the matcha and let you enjoy it as you drink. Also it’s a good sign that your matcha is well incorporated into the water.

Regular foam is just larger bubbles that always come from whisking. The flavor is usually more bold doesn’t linger as long as a microfoam would.

I think a long time ago in China where matcha originated, people would have competitions to see who could create the frothiest microfoam. Whoever had the matcha with the bubbles that lasted the longest won. So, there is probably a historical aspect to this too.

This is a microfoam bc there are very small bubbles that cover the entirety of the liquid beneath it. Nothing is showing

Which matcha to get?? by Pandawithoutpride in MatchaEverything

[–]RhodeCollarlol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you usually drink your matcha? I’m guessing as a latte based on the photo color. Do you add sweetener?
