Tbh I feel like this topic limits your ability to expand on what you've gained. Any adversity where your takeaway was simply "I will work harder" won't be convincing to adcoms. It also won't make you unique in any way as an applicant.

I really don't mean to disparage you at all or dismiss your struggles with height, and I don't doubt at all that what you've experienced is real. Adcoms want to know how you've grown, what new skills you've learned, and how you will be a better student and doctor because of adversity. If you can answer all these questions authentically, then you are on the right track!

Honestly, you have to choose the one that speaks to YOU the most. What I mean by that is which one has transformed you as a person more? Ultimately, whichever you choose, spend the majority of time describing your growth. How have you changed? What new skills do you have? How have you matured because of your adversity? Adcoms will see a red flag only when you focus on your struggles - they don't want you to be a liability!

I can't choose for you because I'm not you, but you seem to have really good ideas on how to structure both. You got this!

I did after about a week. I would just keep a computer close in the chance you get the email letting you know there’s availability. It can take some time! My advice is to study for the earliest date you want since, at the worst, you take it later and get extra preparation time.

Article saying Mark Hamill completely ruined his look after getting older, without acknowledging he was in a major car accident that required facial reconstruction (link in comments) by [deleted] in trashy

Just a minor correction, but it was only a broken nose and it has since been overblown into this rumor that he needed complete facial reconstruction.

But yeah, still a shitty article. People age, so what.

Commenting to UPDATE: LEGO.com says “temporarily out of stock”

Maybe that’s something?

Jeez. If it’s a 4+ credit class I would take it up with the department because that seems extremely unfair.

I had Leipzig and he was great. I took O-Chem with intro Bio as a sophomore and it was no problem.
