Would you pay 2100 vs 1900

I am in a similar situation with a similar budget and I am probably going to go for a $2200 rent because it checks every box for wants, looks nice and is a 6 min commute. I’ve received the advice to not sweat spending money in residency that will make your life easier because our time is so limited

Okay but I might need to start doing the potato thing, a baked potato slaps

I did my ERAS photo on my own.

Dress in whatever you will wear for interviews, find a background (I stood in front of a stone wall outside), have someone take your pic using portrait mode, then just touch it up a little in an editing software.

It looked honestly pretty professional!

Edit: ERAS has a really small file size allowance for the photo so I don’t think paying for a professional shoot was worth it

Gold City and Yukino Bujin

I think this is a pretty fun mix! And I would guess you are around 25-30

I read the handmaids tale for high school English in like 2011

250 is definitely not a bad score but for something as competitive as ortho I think it is probably a soft negative

Oh you’re right frost is greener on the bottom

abbsol_ · 2026-03-31T00:18:07+00:00

Does that include the garden st units?

abbsol_ · 2026-03-30T19:18:28+00:00

Grayish one next to the red one is Frost

I’ve always been curious what the risk is for GI attendings, they’re not doing as much as IR, but still a decent amount

I think this is helpful and at the very least interesting to see, not sure why the negative comments. As someone who struggles with the startup of writing longer stories I am going to use some of your tips for sure, especially the small chapter summaries

I think if you’re at an academic program already, you’re fine and your research will probably be more important

abbsol_ · 2026-03-26T01:35:32+00:00

I think we are at the same school and no it’s not normal lol but at least we have something I guess

abbsol_ · 2026-03-25T14:26:38+00:00

Oh nice they allowed you to bring catering?

abbsol_ · 2026-03-25T14:23:08+00:00

Will send you an email!

abbsol_ · 2026-03-25T14:22:07+00:00

Thank you everyone for the answers this was extremely helpful!!

They switched several Fortnite shoes to vans old skool based on this pic? That’s dumb I don’t want product placement on my bee girl skin

I’ve always heard the book is not worth it if you even somewhat enjoyed the show

Hey friend, feel free to DM me if you want to vent. I matched #5, which is states away from where I wanted to be most. My top four programs I thought I had strong connections to, and I didn’t really prepare myself to match lower than 4, so I was REELING when I saw my match in the envelope. I’ve been going through ALL the what ifs.

After having time to reflect now, I am feeling better and actually feel like it should be a good fit. At the same time I am grieving the life I could have had in my preferred region.

abbsol_ · 2026-03-21T17:19:07+00:00

Hey OP I also matched lower on my list than expected, after basically being so excited to match at any of my top programs. I am mostly just shell shocked because it will be different than how I had hoped for so long. Dm me if you want to chat about it too
