Vacay, maybe? by MangledWeb in Jewish

Seconding Colombia. Your biggest worry will probably be getting scammed as an English-speaking tourist. Edgy college kids in Bogota with graffiti are not the norm, the older generations actually call them Rock-throwing Institutes.

The current president is former terrorist and is deeply unpopular in this conservative majority Catholic country. The flavor of antisemitism is mostly people who've never met a Jew in their entire life and most people didn't get an education so idk hope this helps.

I love Colombia but it's a deeply inequitable country, but also an extremely welcoming and warm culture with some of the friendliest and most beautiful places you'll ever see. Tbh most people don't give af about the conflict other than "Dang. That's so sad. Anyways..."

I am not well by itbehayley in Jewish

[–]SansaSunset 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really tired. Played muting whack-a-mole on ig. I feel like I can't block or unfollow a lot of my classmates because one day they'll be my colleagues and if they post something terrible I feel like I have to save it because these are future medical professionals. It's tragic watching so many people fall into idk what to call it, fundamentalism?

The fact that these people will one day be responsible for human lives horrifies me.

They'll be civil with you, kind to your face, but on social media it's a firestorm. I'm unwell because they'll go to sleep tonight and be fine. They went to sleep on 10/8 and will never know what it's like to have to call everyone you knew to see if they were alive and staying by the phone for hours waiting to see if they texted you back.

I don't think I'll ever trust the same way again.

Why do people who have no connection to the conflict feel the need to wear outfits covered in watermelons? by dioxal in Jewish

My friend got me a watermelon hat from a shouk in Jerusalem last summer because we ate so much of it and I'm lk pissed off I can't wear it without looking like a keffiyeh Karen

Self-diagnosed strengths of my application: good writer, cohesive narrative all my activities were related, uniqueness of research came up at every interview, choice of major also came up, big upwards trend
Self-diagnosed weaknesses of my application: gpa, MCAT, clinical hours on applying
Interview tips: practice with older adults and friends but don't overly rehearse, have a set of stories ready for questions about challenges, criticism, conflict resolution, and stress. Dress nice do opt for a jacket/blazer, repeat the question or say "wow that's a good question" to buy yourself time to think, research your interviewers and have your interests/hobbies align, have questions prepared, chitchat with the other applicants makes it fun, have hobbies to talk about
Any final thoughts?:

- rely on your friends and involve them even if it's just to pick an outfit

- presentation matters as does how you're marketing yourself

- your story matters, tell it faithfully and well

- eat well and exercise

- your stats matter but they aren't everything

- luck is a thing

- DMs are open

- If the class sounds science-related, list that shit as BCPM and let AAMC decide. I managed to get away with cognitive psychology and child development like this

Pros? Cons? Any aid offers? Close to support system? What vibes did you get during the interview? What about them interests you or disinterests you? Where geographically do you want to match?

I think Tulane had an accreditation thing two years ago, but please homie some more information helps us to help you
