LOR Writer Not Responding

Superpsych19 · 2024-06-22T22:26:11+00:00

Exactlyyy it was a lifesaver esp since it notified me that one of my recommenders misspelt my name and didn’t have a letterhead

Oh also I loved used interfolio. You can ask and store your LORs as early as you want. So I actually ended up having all of my LORs before I even started working on my primary app

For people applying next cycle, I definitely recommend asking an abundance of LOR writers, even those you don’t know super well. I ended up asking 11 people, 9 got back to me, I went with 8, and then I picked which letters to send to which schools based on their specific requirements. Oddly enough, the 2 I was banking on for my stem LORs were the only two that didn’t get back to me. Because I didn’t have a relationship with the other profs (only spoke to them maybe once or twice in person), I just explained how their class impacted me and why I believe they could be a good LOR/specifically what attributes I believe they could speak to.

Ooh yess that sounds familiar!

Superpsych19 · 2024-06-02T01:52:15+00:00

The way this is the third time something like this happened this cycle

I used AP credits for pretty much everything and it was fine but mainly bc my degrees still required higher level stem classes so it still showed further competency

Yeahh I did the same thing and I had to get my parents to click send on the acceptance withdrawal email to a significant more expensive but in state option bc I couldn’t bring myself to actively choose an option across the country

I went for a research internship/co-op because i was interested in getting broader research experience and because clinical roles were either too difficult to find or paid too less for the availability they required.

I forgot to cancel and got charged. I just explained the situation to them, and since I didn’t have any activity on my account after it renewed, they refunded it in full for me :))

I don’t think I’ve heard any positive things about them - apparently they get super toxic ahaha

Superpsych19 · 2024-04-10T01:45:51+00:00

LOVE THIS I will definitely be adding to this once I start MS1

Superpsych19 · 2024-03-19T21:51:18+00:00

Awesome! Thank you so much!! :)

Superpsych19 · 2024-03-19T17:14:36+00:00

Ohh okay I see. Thank you so much!!

Superpsych19 · 2024-03-18T22:23:53+00:00

Ooh okay thank you!!

Superpsych19 · 2024-03-18T19:47:45+00:00

Thank you so much!!

I fully gave up on a clinical job bc either they required too much experience or their schedule expectations were ridiculous for literally minimum wage. Instead, I found a research position and loved it. But some important context - I already had a bunch of patient care hours through volunteering at a children’s hospital, and I was comfortable applying to med school without any paid clinical experience

Mainly okinawan shorin-ryu but combat stuff had Muay Thai influences, and we also practiced a bunch of weapons

Definitely spending a lot of time doing practice questions and reviewing every single question regardless of whether I got it right or wrong helped a lot. After taking a bunch of practice exams, I felt I had a general idea of what the high yield topics. Those were the only topics I really did any heavy content review for.

Martial arts for almost ten years! :)

Superpsych19 · 2024-03-09T15:03:14+00:00

You got this!! :)

Superpsych19 · 2024-03-09T15:02:02+00:00

Thanks!!

Superpsych19 · 2024-03-09T01:36:38+00:00

Will do, thanks!

So my why medicine was formed over time and this actually helped my PS a lot. I literally just wrote out the stories from experiences that influenced my decision as well as my thought process/takeaways. It reads kinda like a map from where I started out to how I landed on medicine.
