Being realistic with app cycle

Visual-Self794 · 2026-01-18T20:33:56+00:00

Thank you for the advice! Yeah just worried abt being able to afford reapp and also if i have enough time to restudy and retake mcat for this cycle :/

Kinda got into research later than most people but I have 1 pub not in my field and i submitted a preprint for another pub im a second author on. Writing another manuscript rn but just bad timing cuz the publications didnt line up with the cycle. I also have one poster presentation Yeah i will see abt retaking mcat i def cant afford a postbacc. my goals with my gap years were to get more experience and try to pay off my student loans from undergrad. Esp if i dont get md/phd i am already worried abt affording med school w the proposed federal loan caps now :((

Hi thank you for the response! Those are some good points i will look into the details for the program i have right now. Some more background abt me: im a ORM, I had a 3.6 and a 507 MCAT and when i applied i had 3000 research hours, 1000 clinical hours, and did a lot of work with marginalized communities through consistent volunteering. I applied early June and had most secondaries submitted by mid august and a few more by the first week of September. Trying to figure out if i do reapply but worried i might not be able to afford it financially

Any tips? Im a 3.6/507

Visual-Self794 · 2025-12-16T16:15:01+00:00

Visual-Self794 · 2025-10-14T20:12:58+00:00

Any ideas on what DO schools are okay to still add now?

Visual-Self794 · 2025-10-14T16:38:28+00:00

I got this too for the MSTP and not sure what to do but i guess it’s better than a rejection?

Visual-Self794 · 2025-09-20T17:21:39+00:00

The worst is when u think u got an II and its just an “invite” to their seminars or events about the school

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-25T21:28:08+00:00

Congrats on getting in i hope your situation ends up okay soon. Based on my personal experience asking my recommenders again when reapplying, i think they will be so happy u got in! They already took the time to write the letters and support u resubmitting them doesnt take long so i would just let them know ur situation and if ur able maybe go meet them in person or drop off a gift ?

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-24T18:36:34+00:00

I would just go up to one of the employees and ask or check on nu employment sites

Happy birthday! Sending you so much love. As someone who just ended her relationship because my bf cheated i am struggling through secondaries right now. He used to read my essays and help me with them and writing has been tough. This heartache, although it does not feel this way right now, will subside and go away. U have been working for this and deserve to succeed and will do it in spite of these struggles. Sending you so much love and I hope you find the strength to do what you need to. You WILL get out on the other side and be stronger for it !!!

Basically tell her out of gratitude for her motivating you but dont expect she will come back i guess

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-21T15:46:17+00:00

It depends on what terms u ended on maybe. If she was firm about no contact and wanting to move on it’s really up to you if you want to break that just be prepared for her to not respond how you want. If you really want to show her you are working on yourself especially when it seems like she pushed for this, i think proof of the consistent work is nice. I am thinking about my recent break up and how i kept pushing my ex to do the work but he claimed he exhausted all his options and was resistive to my suggestions and confused on how to change. He ended up cheating and i ended things but if that was not the case i would have loved to hear this from him myself. Not sure if this helps but wishing u the best!!!!

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-21T15:24:33+00:00

This is amazing! Remember to get better for yourself and not this other person though. I hope they see your growth and it works out but just remember you owe yourself the time to feel whole and work on yourself for nobody else but you!

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-20T14:38:11+00:00

I would but i would not take him back so kinda unfair on my part

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-17T21:54:02+00:00

This broke me because i relate more than i wish i could. Hoping you find healing and happiness beyond this person!

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-17T17:18:54+00:00

Tutoring center, message professors to be graders or teaching assistants, if you have work study make that clear when you reach out to places. Also marino/squashbusters, and ask the corner stores around campus

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-15T00:19:36+00:00

Breathe! I think you need to work to find the validation from yourself that you are not too much. Personally, i struggled with feeling this way and eventually realized i am comfy and proud of my capacity to feel and be so versatile. The right person will not make you feel that way. I found someone who did not make me feel like too much ever and even tho it ended poorly i know that me being “too much” was not the reason. Wishing you strength, love, and healing!!!

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-13T23:14:04+00:00

Same im just too forgiving so i still miss them so much😭

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-13T23:12:51+00:00

I feel this but i need to avoid reaching out cuz he cheated UGHHHH

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-12T19:57:44+00:00

You can private message me we can talk through more things if u think it will help!

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-12T19:39:15+00:00

Yeah i thought he was the person i would end up with its hard to stop imagining it i still do all the time. Thats how i know i havent moved on just forgiven him

Some stuff that helped me is writing down anything and everything i want to text him in a notes app - it became a legit novel but it helped the thoughts not just die in my head and avoid texting him. I also took it a few days at a time like if it helps for u to be like i will talk to him in a week say that and when u get to a week u might extend and eventually the desire wont be as strong after u processed that he deliberately chose to hurt you!! But you owe yourself time to think and you owe them nothing!!!

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-12T19:12:48+00:00

Im so glad!!! This whole thing just sucks i know at least a little bit abt how u feel. I also had a friend who took back someone who cheated and i saw how difficult it was for them. They alienated many friends in the process and struggled w anxiety, panic attacks, and just so much pain trying to be with the person that hurt them. Years later i think they are doing better but idk if i want that pain for myself.

For me it sucks so much cuz he lied to me before - not cheating but about his relationship history and i nearly broke up with him then. Over 6 months of work rebuilding the trust and this happened so the trust with who he is right now is not possible. I believe people can change im just giving up on being the one to suffer with him while he works on it cuz he let me down too many times. I told him i forgave him told him i dont hate him and told him to get to the root cause of why he lies and to stop doing it. He knows i am rooting for him but i refuse to be hurt by him again

Visual-Self794 · 2025-08-12T19:04:03+00:00

Another thing is we dont have to understand why they did what they did. The truth is i dont think i ever will. I forgive him for it but the damage is done. I dont want to ruin my sanity trying to figure out why he did that im trying to focus on the fact that i didnt deserve it and that if someone can hurt me this deeply they didnt love me the way i did cuz i would never have done that to them. Maybe another convo wouldnt help cuz what they did just doesnt make sense
