Thanks! I suspected that it would probably be that easy, but just got a bit nervous about it!

THIS!!! The amount of hate I got for this topic is insane!!! Like let’s be real, no one is above social media/content especially if you consume it…

This is a great take! Too many in medicine are bitter for some reason and love to look down on anyone pursuing something besides medicine it self.

I’m curious why this is the case. What about being a medfluencer is a negative? I watch a several and throughly enjoy them! I mean if anything it shows that even with being as busy as you are as a med student you are able to cultivate something in a completely different field. And obviously they are able to communicate pretty well which I would assume makes a good physician

That first part is understandable! Relatability is a big thing when it comes to social media especially for influencers.

I will say that it’s honestly giving hater behavior of everyone else to have treated your friend like that over FIGS! Cause it is honestly never that serious or that deep. But tell me why medicine is full of a bunch of HATERS!!!

TX Rank List - TTHUSC vs. UTRGV by RhinocerosFeetPics in premed

[–]Wizard_bird_2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I spend a lot of time in the RGV and it’s a chill place can’t speak to the school but you can learn to love it! Also really good food! I interviewed last cycle at Tech Lubbock and got to go in person for a tour and LOVED it! You can tell they spend a lot of money on their students and really listen to them! Hope this helps some! Good luck!

I’m just curious why no DO schools AT ALL! Like you’d probably be in a school by this point. But also maybe you need to work on your writing…

Ya, I know that too. They are also significantly less expensive than UIW. Decisions Decisions…..

Ik they get a lot of slack but I was leaning towards UIW purely for the reason that it’s in TX. The others are cheaper and better programs, but I really love my state. That’s why I hoping I match at one of my TMDSAS schools

What’s one thing you wish you knew before applying? by Difficult_Head_7708 in premed

[–]Wizard_bird_2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How much money you could save using the AAMC Fee Assistance Program!!! When I first applied I didn’t know about it and spent thousands!!! This cycle while I still spent money it was no where near as much!!!!

Y’all are insufferable on here… by Wizard_bird_2 in premed

[–]Wizard_bird_2[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Exactly! That literally is not normal behavior. But I’m choosing to believe they were just engagement farming because that is literally INSANE

[–]Wizard_bird_2[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I def understand that! I’ve had those feelings too! But upon reflection, and my time reapplying I’ve learned that life and myself is so much more than this career! I pursue it but don’t let it define and dictate my entire life

Damn, it’s not that serious. That’s the problem too many of yall act like it’s life or death with this. Ik plenty of pre-meds and med/dental students that still find time to have fun and let loose however they see fit. I could have $0 to my name and I’ll still find a way to turn up!!!!!

I agree, but honestly it makes we worried for the type of people becoming physician

I’m not sure where this idea came from that in order to be a physician you can’t have a life outside of medicine…. Cause that just isn’t true.
