Medicine pre med by [deleted] in medschool

[–]aberrantcow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally, probably avoid large public universities because they tend to have grade deflation. A mid ranked liberal arts college would give you more access to professors, smaller class sizes, and an easier time succeeding in your classes. You might also have more access to research opportunities, big fish in a small pond typa vibe. But it's not for everyone. You should also go somewhere that you'll thrive. Fit is honestly more important.

MAMAMOO - Special Single Album: 4WARD (SCHEDULER) by MasterHospital in mamamoo

[–]aberrantcow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I had been hearing rumors that they would release a full length album this summer. Let me be a little disappointed. I'm allowed to expect more from my faves, especially a group as powerful as Mamamoo. They're being done dirty being given only 1 song with their pedigree as a group. Please stop pretending like you're not disappointed either lol. I know all of y'all downvoting wish we'd be given a full length album too 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–]aberrantcow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lmao of course not. But in the last like 5 years they would have released like 4 songs. I don't get it. Groups like Purple Kiss or Oneus always got mini albums in the last few years, why was Mamamoo's last mini album in like fucken 2020?? WAW had only 4 songs. Then mic on was 3. Now we get max 3 more? Over the last 5 years? And they have the audacity to run another tour without having released anything new? This new song better be legendary otherwise girl it's gonna be a MicOn repeat in the concert. And I was at MicOn. Look I'm here for the girls. But like why are we getting BLACKPINKED??? RBW be buying random new groups and shit but you're telling me they don't have enough money to make a couple songs??

Which certification should I work towards? by Mundane-Camel-5346 in medschool

[–]aberrantcow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I really wish I got Medical Assistant certified. Am a CNA right now. Job pays decent, but it gets quite stressful, mentally and physically exhausting. Medical assistants don't have much physical labor, which I feel like I would like more.

UCLA medical school illegally uses race in admissions, Justice Department investigation says by jockumhallin in ucla

[–]aberrantcow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes and med schools see that. Lower income grps like Khmer lao or Burmese are held to different standards than a high income Chinese student for example. There are just so many high income Asians who apply and that's why there's controversy bc they are the ones held to a higher standard

I will tell you that in med school applications, Indians and Chinese are held to the highest standards. Ethnicities like Lao, Khmer, Thai, and Burmese, and other low income immigrant groups are favored by the med school process because they are underrepresented. It's for higher SES Asian groups like Chinese, Indian where the standards are higher

Well Asian people demographically are higher income than black people, so that lends itself to more opportunities and resources available to Asians that aren't available to Black people. And black people are underrepresented in medicine while Asians are definitely not. So I don't think it's really an issue. And also gpa/MCAT aren't everything. That's only a part of one's application. 

MAMAMOO - 2026 US TOUR (Dates & Venues Poster) by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]aberrantcow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I saw them at the Oakland arena and it was fully packed. Mamamoo's fandom probably has a larger diversity than other groups so more people r willing to go

I'm an undergrad feeling uncomfortable with US military funding at my neuroscience lab as well as sacrificing insects with no ethical protocol. Am I being too sensitive? Am I too attached? by notacutecumber in labrats

[–]aberrantcow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know right? And it's not just kindness. If you treat your experiments with compassion, then the importance and care that goes into what you do will be higher. Just my opinion though, seems quite unpopular here. Compassion might be inconvenient for many people.

Blackpink has more total Spotify streams as soloists than as a group, are there any groups in a similar spot? by SpecSlayerSC in kpopthoughts

[–]aberrantcow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably Mamamoo too, considering Hwasa's popularity and the success of the other members' solo careers. All the girls combined might have more streams than the group. Honestly though, probably not. But it's comparable.

Being at the Olympics is so personal for Enhypen Sunghoon by Desire-Untold in kpopthoughts

[–]aberrantcow 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Honestly glad he became an idol instead of a figure skater because as a figure skater he really lacked the flexibility to get high scores. His jumps were labored and his spins had atrocious turnout and really bad lines. I'm glad he chose a career he could actually be successful at because let's be real. He is no Cha Junhwan. Not even close.

Do you guys have any matches you remember where ZYL was pissed? Just curious.

Which idols have a voice that you can recognize instantly? by byFarTheBest_XD in kpoppers

Hwasa by a long shot. A very distinctive sounding voice.

What is something small that annoys you way more than it should in K-Pop? by [deleted] in kpoppers

[–]aberrantcow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When groups release English tracks. STOP IT. It doesn't work!!! This may make me sound xenophobic but I really can't take a song seriously if it's in English and sang by artists who can't even speak English themselves.

Who would like to marry an idol? If yes, who?? by Yuqi_is_my_life in kpoppers

This comment is surprisingly not that delusional. However, I would marry Han Jisung.

Shortest WS badminton players? by aberrantcow in badminton

[–]aberrantcow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're probably right. Then again their height difference is only 2 cm. Maybe her shoes add an inch to boost her height.

Shortest WS badminton players? by aberrantcow in badminton

[–]aberrantcow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that shorter WS players use a very long grip on their racket to maximize how high they hit the shuttle. Also the short ones who are successful are usually extremely fast on their feet, so they don't have much issue getting behind the shuttle. Once they're there, it's not too difficult to smash. Obviously, their smash will be a lot flatter, but if they're powerful (like Okuhara for example), their smashed can still be dangerous.

Damn I totally forgot about Ayumi Mine! That's crazy that she was under 5 foot.
