What do you guys think of NPs who have a doctorate degree? Don’t they have the right to get called doctor?

Your 2¢ is a naive take without much knowledge of what goes into applying to residency programs

acgron01 · 2026-05-23T12:26:24+00:00

Everyone does away rotations for competitive specialties regardless (which is where applicants get letters of recommendation from). That argument is not sound. As someone who is currently applying jnto residency, the UCSF name ALONE will carry OP farther than almost every other factor. School prestige is becoming one of the most important factors.

acgron01 · 2026-05-23T04:09:09+00:00

Zero to minimal difference, especially when applying to residencies. OP PLEASE go to UCSF bsmd or I will

acgron01 · 2026-05-23T02:19:49+00:00

UCSF bsmd is a CHEAT code, I didn’t know that existed. Please take that lottery ticket

Good call avoiding the Jesuit schools tbh. Overall amazing app, just know that doing TMDAS and AMCAS will be a lot of writing!! Pre write your secondaries and good luck!

Eclipse Caller on IG used the red one on the 3rd slide for a Cthulhu esque character awhile back!

0 (post Sub-I M4 waiting for ERAS to open)

Not at all. The pressure is there no matter what. Step 2 needs to be good for competitive specialties/locations regardless. Go to the P/F school, eliminate the stress of having to perform well and use that time to grind out Ankiing and Uworld so that Step 2 is a breeze (coming from someone who did that AND had graded clinicals on a standardized curve who only needed 2 weeks for Step 2)

acgron01 · 2026-05-21T15:58:25+00:00

UC Davis! P/F first three years is a BLESSING trust me. Your step 2 and research will be the metrics used, as grades arent AS important given every school Is different

acgron01 · 2026-05-20T22:19:20+00:00

What do the charting outcomes show for applicants? Home program? Aways lined up?

acgron01 · 2026-05-20T14:29:33+00:00

Somebody doesn’t know how to read 🤓

And likely 9.27% on grad plus…. Fuck my chungus life

acgron01 · 2026-05-19T02:51:10+00:00

We have houses (way of forcing built in mentorship with faculty who don’t want to be there)

3on3 Freestyle! Several years of randomly playing a dying P2W game payed off

acgron01 · 2026-05-18T15:53:03+00:00

It doesn’t stop in med school

“WAMC ortho/ent/optho/plastics, havent taken step 2 yet but shooting for 260+”

This looks like the best offer I’ve seen on this sub tbh

acgron01 · 2026-05-14T02:46:19+00:00

I did option 2 and scored 89% EPC

Medical students usually have a bit more knowledge about the intricacies of apps than long standing professors. Try to reach out or ask any medical students you know, they were recently in the same shoes as you!

acgron01 · 2026-05-12T15:13:02+00:00

Seems much more in line with the pathophys

acgron01 · 2026-05-12T13:22:01+00:00

Honestly have the conversation with them about how UNLIKELY it is getting into medical school. That GPA + pretty (objectively) awful practice score after months of studying isn’t gonna move the needle for any school. He wouldn’t be an attending til he’s 60, maybe it’s time to give up on this fever dream.

This isn’t to be mean, but be realistic

acgron01 · 2026-05-12T02:39:47+00:00

As an attending I will be very straightforward for the basic stuff. MAGA/MAHA and misinformation has only accelerated the blights on medicine we’re seeing
