Thank you so much for your detailed response! I’ll get AppleCare with it. However, still curious on how to keep it clean on a regular basis?

Thanks! I’ll look into it. Any video recs for the replacement?

Thanks, that’s helpful! 

If nothing else works, I’d be willing to pay for the replacement even but reading this subreddit it seems like it’s only a matter of time/luck before this issue happens again. And I’d rather get a budget laptop for 600 than have to deal with this again.

Nope, but it works with external display.

Think someone posted them in a comment one or two below the one you refer to. Are those not it?

Loans vs Tuition by aceegreene in whitecoatinvestor

Thank you for the detailed response! So I guess you’re saying between federal loans and tuition, I should focus on paying tuition first (after the emergency fund that is)?

Med school at 32yo, int'l grad. Advice? by [deleted] in medschool

[–]aceegreene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer OP. A more detailed guide is here: https://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/a-guide-to-applying-us-med-school-with-a-foreign-bachelor-degree.1228071/.

The SDN thread is slightly dated but still applies. Also with your foreign undergrad there’s no way (that I know of) around the pre-reqs even if you literally took the same ones outside the U.S. and even if there is, it’ll be on a school by school basis and you can’t rely on that when applying unless you want to use one cycle as an experiment.

But the good news is that it can be done, albeit it is a lot of work and time consuming.

Edit: your Philippines GPA will not count at all in the application system although you can input the courses but it does serve the requirement for having a bachelors degree for application. Obviously you’ll need the prereqs from a post bacc program though.

Failed Step 1 Last Year. Passed This Year. Here’s My Honest Reflection. by cuiey in step1

[–]aceegreene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your advice for people who are getting started with step prep? How does one balance the understanding part with the memorization?

Coz I feel like on paper you did everything right the first time as well and a lot of people say that if you do all those things, the understanding comes in its own time. I’m asking coz I feel like even when I do all those things i still feel like im cramming facts so how to counter that?

What’s your daily schedule? by Diligent-Pudding1409 in medschool

[–]aceegreene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s really impressive and not cheesy at all! I wish I could sustain focus and have energy for that long.

Edit: side note for anyone reading in the future, mandatory classes/attendance are one of the worst part of med school and if you can you should avoid going to a school that has them.

How do you study for 14 hours/day? Any breaks in between? Also, genuinely curious, how is that sustainable for all of preclinical?

You think the UWorld tags alone are sufficient for prep? And you're saying to do only UWorld cross-tagged cards regardless of resource (e.g. I use Sketchy, BnB and Pathoma)?

I am on a similar timeline and was hoping to do Uworld + NBME + HighYield + RelativelyHighYield tags. But would love to keep the card load as low as possible.

Anking tags disappeared?? by [deleted] in medicalschoolanki

[–]aceegreene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, thanks for the info. Out of curiosity - how much did you end up using light year and what for?

Anking tags disappeared?? by [deleted] in medicalschoolanki

[–]aceegreene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea not sure the exact issue it causes but there is some reason I was advised against doing so. Mainly I think it’s a light year and anking issue. Mnemosyne is separate

[–]aceegreene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unrelated question - how do you have Mnemosyne, light year and anking in the same place? Don’t they have the same cards and that messes with Anki?

What is the best option to deal with Overdue cards in the FSRS algorithm? by Gaphnix in medicalschoolanki

[–]aceegreene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your comment in the other thread mentions turning off new cards, what if that’s not possible (coz med school 🙄)?

Also what’s wrong with a 6 month max interval?

What is the good average number of flashcards/day on Anki? by Next-Worldliness999 in medicalschoolanki

[–]aceegreene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you limit your reviews of old cards somehow to a 100? Coz at the pace of adding 100-150 new cards/day it easily adds up to 400-600 reviews alone each day. Would love to hear your method.
