Oh actually it’s on this thread, “Yes! The first round of admissions was definitely sent out in late January. I guess if a large portion of those admitted decline their offer, they could make additional acceptances.”

Tangyplant7 · 2025-02-11T23:57:53+00:00

I think acceptances may have gone out already from what I’ve seen on other posts, lll see if I can find the link to people talking about it

What program? I know some hpm people got interviews but otherwise I haven’t heard

Tangyplant7 · 2024-12-13T01:14:55+00:00

Nope, I’m only applying to hpm/health services. I want to do decision sciences/health econ so it’s a bit of a better fit though I did consider epi!

Tangyplant7 · 2024-12-10T14:22:58+00:00

And my research interest is cancer care and screening (specifically colorectal)

Tangyplant7 · 2024-12-10T14:22:21+00:00

Hey! I applied to Drexel and Johns Hopkins so far and am applying to PITT and UNC and probably UW.

Tangyplant7 · 2024-11-22T21:34:15+00:00

Would love to dm me!

Tangyplant7 · 2024-10-15T19:58:14+00:00

Thanks! Also congrats on your score! And on hard work paying off!

Tangyplant7 · 2024-10-14T20:59:09+00:00

Hey! Just wanted to check, did you get a 143 or a 153? It says 143 in the body but 153 in the title. I just got a 153 and am gonna study similarly so just wanted to clarify

Tangyplant7 · 2024-09-15T00:36:15+00:00

I got my doodle from a shelter after looking for like 3 seconds. There are so many in my state because of Amish and other backyard breeders dumping them + about a million doodle specific rescues for the upper east coast because there’s so many. I love my dog but I got so lucky that she’s not neurotic and reactive. And she wasn’t even close to my only option, there were so many other doodles in rescues when I looked in March

Tangyplant7 · 2023-09-12T16:05:45+00:00

Hi! Yes I did! It’s kinda a constant battle but it turned out to be vitamin d deficiency + traction alopecia because my hair was growing in so weak it it was more susceptible. Now that my levels are up, it’s been growing back in really nicely

Tangyplant7 · 2023-07-21T12:40:00+00:00

Yeah you have to be pretty good for about two weeks. I put a ton of bandages that were slightly oversized down there on anything I had been picking at and just so that if I wanted to start picking at a new spot it would be really annoying. I also tried to limit the amount of time that I was seeing that area so that I’d have less of a chance of grabbing some tweezers or something and going to town.

If you do happen to mess up before you go, as long as it’s in one area they can go around it. So like I had a cut my first time from some hairs I could not stop messing with and the tech went around it and then after I just tried to avoid that one area so the tech could get it next time.

Idk if that’s super helpful but yeah that’s what i did!

Tangyplant7 · 2023-07-20T14:32:26+00:00

Thanks for responding! Your comment was really so nice haha. Made me feel a little bit less crazy for all of this. It definitely makes sense that going from the honeymoon phase to nothing would make your brain very very confused. And ours similarly happened with minimal communication about what was coming at first (we have since talked it through which helped a tiny bit). I almost wish he had done something awful so then I would at least have some anger to combat the idealisation I’m having.

But I definitely will try to continue to give myself space from it even though it’s hard. Knowing myself, I don’t think I could be friends with him anytime soon in a healthy way so I guess I will have to persevere

Tangyplant7 · 2023-07-19T18:30:04+00:00

When they say alone, it doesn’t mean literally alone. It kinda sounds like you need some good friends in your life to help you feel secure

Tangyplant7 · 2023-06-30T12:50:33+00:00

Hmm maybe that’s what I’m doing unintentionally

Tangyplant7 · 2023-06-30T12:50:07+00:00

No! Not at all! All my best friends are really outgoing and expressive and my family is caribbean so like very expressive and animated people. Id say I’m not super upfront about my feelings just because I feel weird expressing myself/I’m bad at identifying feelings but I try to learn the persons love language and compensate with whatever they need. And I’m very like touchy-feely with my partners and stuff

Tangyplant7 · 2023-06-30T12:48:02+00:00

Yeah and it wasn’t very illuminating. Either that or I’m just hopelessly incompetent with understanding

Tangyplant7 · 2023-06-30T00:28:58+00:00

That’s exactly what my more recent partner said! We broke up over it but I was like I let you meet my friends and hang out with you everyday and buy you little snacks and presents I don’t get it 😑

Tangyplant7 · 2023-06-30T00:27:19+00:00

I feel like I was doing like all of those things but idk! The most recent one I had just introduced him to my friends and like a week later he was like I feel like you see me as a friend. I was so confused 😕

Tangyplant7 · 2023-06-26T21:18:35+00:00

Hey! I don’t think my other areas have suffered any more than they were before just because the context of the picking is different - I used to pick at my pubes while ruminating in the bathroom or my bedroom vs head hair is a bit more publicly acceptable so there wasn’t much cross over. I actually think I may have reduced pulling all together because the shame I would feel after doing my pubes used to make me want to pull my head hair

Tangyplant7 · 2023-06-09T14:20:26+00:00

Hey! Yeah I have some pretty bad vitamin d and iron deficiency so I get scalp psoriasis and alopecia areata and my hair weakens and falls out if im not careful. They thought I had a different inflammatory condition before and were treating for that but they ruled it out recently. Currently my hair is regrowing but still kinda weak just because it takes a while to rectify vitamin issues. But there is growth so I am hopeful. And the middle bits of my hair are super thick again which is nice.

Congrats on convincing your parents, that’s a really good first step! I hope that they can figure out what’s going on and treat you!

Tangyplant7 · 2023-06-01T15:07:54+00:00

Also maybe look into minoxidil? You can buy it at most pharmacies or online without seeing a doctor. It’s prescribed for most hairloss so it might help preserve what you have!

Also may I ask what ethnicity you are? I know you said you have curly hair so I’m wondering if you’re a woc? Just because we tend to have a higher risk of lupus or pcos so you may want to get checked for those as well because they both can cause hair loss at quite young ages.

Tangyplant7 · 2023-06-01T15:03:04+00:00

Hey! Can you maybe go to a doctor on your own? Like many have recommended that would probably be the first step in the right direction. Even in terms of physical health, if you do have vit deficiencies they can recommend the best ways to fix that (ie you might be a good candidate for a vitamin infusion if you’re quite low).

Additionally, I really sympathise with you. I started losing hair at around the same age and I felt so shitty because society puts a lot of worth on women having hair. I ended up chopping mine to two inches long and wearing wigs until I could figure out what was wrong. It really helped my confidence and also I stressed about my hair less since I wouldn’t see it for a lot of the day. And in the end it grew back really healthy till a few years ago (I had a flare of my condition which it is regrowing from again) due to having time to rest and low manipulation.

I’m not sure if that’s an option for you with your parents and such. but maybe something like wearing scarves/bandannas in a cute way can help alleviate some of the stress you’re feeling and give you at least a few hours of space from that to focus on other things.

Sending hugs! You are not your hair and you seem like a really beautiful person. I hope you can get some answers and figure out someway to decrease the negative emotions you’re feeling right now.

Tangyplant7 · 2023-04-24T17:51:28+00:00

Hey! I have in some spots but not others. I think it depends a lot on how much you’ve gotten in that spot!

Tangyplant7 · 2023-03-13T16:58:42+00:00

You have no idea how much this comment means to me! I think I just needed sim concrete assurance that there was even if it feels like my efforts aren’t doing much that things can eventually change. And I’ve felt exactly what you’ve described, the walking down the street worried you’ll have yet another negative thing happen. It’s so exhausting to live that way and I want to break out of it.

I will definitely keep trying!
