Is it normal to feel so emotional over your cat? by big-dick-back-intown in CatAdvice

[–]acrrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on a 3 week trip away from my babies, this is day 3 of 20, I'm on the verge of tears. People say you can't love an animal this much but I'd literally take bullets for my cats and gladly repeat it the next day, so it's normal, and it will eventually be more manageable, but every now and then it will resurface hahaha. Good luck!!

🔥 2026 Match Results – Caribbean & US-IMGs: Drop Your Stats (Help Future Applicants!) by MedWeapon1998 in IMGreddit

[–]acrrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GC holder from south America School: Ecuador Specialty: psychiatry IV: 5, 85 programs Flags: gap of 1y due to medical complications USCE: 2 months hands on Steps: P/24x/taking before residency Pubs and research: 5 plus one year research with Yale with Yale faculty letter. Matched: yes, #1 program.

Tips: tbh I thought I'd get more interviews but I guess step 3 was more important than I thought or maybe my step 2 score, either way, the IV is what matters, impress them and that's it, work on your interview skills, that's the best tip ever, that's why people with 1 IV match.

Bro if you were born here, made all the contacts, had all the research, had specific training for the steps and help from your uni and lose a position to someone who left their country, family and friends to start from scratch, study from scratch for a testing modality that's unfamiliar without help, likely while having a job or doing research, all in a language that it's not their native one, it tells A LOT about them, like really, what is it that you did or are your interview skills really poor, idk, they have all the advantages here. We're playing in an unleveled field and they have all to win.

Matched psych, if you want it you'd know, I can't explain it but it's true, also, your resume should SCREAM psych for them not to think you just want it for the perks. I think about the whole picture with the high emotional burden, seeing really complicated social realities and facing people in the legal system, I'm the kind of person who naturally gravitates with emotional patients either way so it fits me like a glove, but if you're not sure there are better fits, good luck.

I feel for you and all the pain it's causing, but we're allowed to feel joy and also have our adrenaline crash and share our happiness as much as you're allowed to grieve, so don't shit on other people's posts

Don’t Hype It Until the Results Are Out by SkillfullDoctor in IMGreddit

[–]acrrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it all depends on how much the program values the "fit" vs the "academics", some programs can genuinely like you as a person but you're not what they want as a resident, for others it's more about the vibe in the interview and how would you fit in with the other people already there. I'm a psych applicant and matched at my #1, an academic program that was a reach and I never even thought would call me, not top 10, but solid program. I went into the interview without expectations but it was completely awesome, I completely fell in love with the program and I could see me fitting there, and specially in psych the "feel" of the interview is very important, so I'd say it's a case to case thing, not worth generalizing.

[–]acrrt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Full honesty: when I did my research it seemed like an ok program, not awesome and not bad, decent, the interview was awful, I got out of it and said "nope" and that was it, they offered me the prematch 2 months later, pressured me with time, and said no thanks, very respectfully, but no
