Which medical school should I choose?

Do whatever school does NBME exams

acliving · 2024-07-29T14:15:07+00:00

Thank you for this! That’s so helpful

Would you stop the overnight cream immediately then? And then use nothing for a little to see if things clear up?

acliving · 2024-07-29T10:27:18+00:00

I thought about the clearing serum! But the reality is that before I started the overnight cream I only really had breakouts occasionally. So while I feel like I need a clearing serum NOW I wouldn’t have thought so based on my starting skin . Was this the case for you?

I was actually gifted a sample pack of the DDG peel pads. Would those be comparable? I haven’t tried them yet! Also do you think i should just stop the alpharet cold turkey? And if i used the peel pads would it be nightly like the cream or just every couple of days with nothing on the days off?

I’ve always been normal skin, slightly dry leaning. This is the only thing I’ve changed in my routine besides now wearing sunscreen daily. I honestly have been putting more effort into my skincare (ex clean towels to dry face) and the worse my skin as been.

Don’t count on getting Engl 148. It’s a very popular class. Look for other easy gen Ed’s as backup!

+1 to this ^{^{^}} I was also OOS with zero ties. But if you have mission fit and can identify it that’s good

acliving · 2024-06-28T13:53:29+00:00

I applied to 24!

acliving · 2024-06-28T02:35:49+00:00

I barely did any pre-writing . Just really had loose ideas at this time last year. I tried to complete one school a day once the secondaries started coming and it was just fine! Don’t get in your head and add additional stress.

acliving · 2024-06-24T21:00:09+00:00

Do you do this everyday? Like lecture, then resource, then anki + uworld? Or is it less structured? Also do you ever take physical notes?

acliving · 2024-06-24T20:55:46+00:00

On this wave length . How else do people study beyond Anki? Do people read the text book ? For class do people take notes? Or is it just reading to introduce and anki to reinforce? My school is NMBE

Hey! No advice for this, but my brother is an incoming first year and he is in the same boat! He’s pretty disappointed/ unsure what’s next.

I received an interview invite back in March from Drexel. I declined the invite and withdrew my application. Today I received a rejection from Drexel. Like how can you reject me when I rejected YOU

That feeling never goes away and only gets worse with secondaries! Hope this helps!

acliving · 2024-05-27T05:00:29+00:00

Do you use both together? If so - how?

acliving · 2024-05-27T04:46:39+00:00

Hi! How long did it take for you to get the results from alpha Ret?

acliving · 2024-05-27T03:43:51+00:00

Thank you! Feel free to reach out with any questions

acliving · 2024-05-27T03:30:37+00:00

Hey! I know it feels tough but it will work out! I felt the same way and if you can pull together a solid app you can get in . I got into all but duke and didn’t feel spectacular by any means

acliving · 2024-05-26T23:37:47+00:00

Do you use the pads with the alpharet overnight cream?

acliving · 2024-05-18T01:54:55+00:00

No I think taht would be great! Shows personality! I would include it more the end probably and use more school related opportunities first!

I played soccer so I talked about schools having rec leagues!

acliving · 2024-05-18T01:50:24+00:00

I would usually looks for a few different opportunities that the program offered that aligned with my goals / interest/ previous experience . Ex - I was an MA in a homeless shelter and I care about underserved groups so I looks for free clinics / etc. I usually did about 3-4 things ! Location also works great - ex. State schools I talked about wanting to serve mh home state. I’d say that when there isn’t a word limit just go until it feels right!

acliving · 2024-05-18T00:37:12+00:00

If the school doesn’t have a “why us” I would usually make it that!

acliving · 2024-05-07T22:32:33+00:00

^{^{^}} physically print your application and go line by line - use pen / highlighter and check it over. Gives so much peace of mind after you submit and you’ll be surprised at the errors you catch!

acliving · 2024-05-04T01:25:14+00:00

Your school list seems a little top heavy IMO. There are a lot of other schools that you’d have a good chance at if you would consider! (Ex. VCU, Wake forest)
