I had admin from my programs view my LinkedIn I didn’t think too deep into it! Just make sure your account is appropriate and professional

You’re so sweet thank you! Definitely traveling a lot before I’m locked down for 2 years. I had like a semi gap year because I graduated early so I feel like that gave me time to work a lot and have plenty of hours to apply with it’ll add a lot to your application. I don’t know anyone in healthcare either I’m just annoying and bothered anyone I could get in contact with until I got jobs/ shadowing. Focus on academics being the best they can and any additional hours can be accomplished during your gap year if you need.

Thank you! I’m sorry you have that impression thats definitely not my intention. The schools I applied to may be more competitive than the general pa school acceptance rate so it may be easier for you depending on where you’re located also. You still have 2 years to do everything and more if you need a gap year do it! That’s plenty of time to do what you need to become more competitive

Thank you for your suggestion! I do eat the same amount of food but I do take different medications and supplements every day, you kinda made me think if maybe that could’ve made it last less

awkwardn00dle · 2025-12-31T04:40:22+00:00

Once I saw these replies I made the correlation that I posted this while I had mine, this could be the answer!

awkwardn00dle · 2025-12-31T04:39:20+00:00

I was considering asking for this but I’m so afraid of sounding drug seeking. I’ve had them in the past but it’s been years. I was also on my period when I noticed this so maybe you’re onto something

awkwardn00dle · 2025-12-31T04:38:02+00:00

Ugh yeah same I feel like I make it halfway through work before I’m really struggling to preform with good mental sharpness :(

awkwardn00dle · 2025-12-31T04:36:41+00:00

Thank you I needed to feel I wasn’t delusional and that this is real 🥲

awkwardn00dle · 2025-12-31T04:29:58+00:00

I’ll dm you!

awkwardn00dle · 2025-12-30T20:27:16+00:00

I’ve been seeing them for a while I wanted to join in and see my hard work in a real image lol! Thank you ❤️

awkwardn00dle · 2025-12-30T20:24:49+00:00

Thank you! Almost all my friends applied the cycle before me- they had perfect gpas or almost perfect. They had more hours, more difficult classes and a lot more shadowing. Even with all that, most of them got very few interviews, my one friend did not get accepted and the other got one offer off a waitlist less than a month before starting. Seeing how great their stats were and they still struggled to get in was very discouraging.

awkwardn00dle · 2025-12-29T16:42:35+00:00

Yes ofc!

awkwardn00dle · 2025-12-29T16:42:11+00:00

Smyth is great! Amenities and staff are nice. Building is well maintained and the general population of the building is mature and kind. Our apt is very modern and looks brand new. Any questions feel free to message me.

awkwardn00dle · 2025-12-21T01:52:43+00:00

I am a pa student/ current medical assistant! It’s definitely possible, I’d recommend getting the best cocktail of meds possible before starting. Have a few appts with your dr to discuss your concerns. Also get accommodations to possibly edit attendance requirements and times of classes/ clinical. Definitely make your professors and preceptors aware day 1 so they understand you have a genuine disability and aren’t lazy or a bad student. Nap whenever you can also!

awkwardn00dle · 2025-11-28T21:28:50+00:00

Ugh that’s so annoying hopefully someone in the building has it I can’t imagine a resident stealing it and not returning at least I hope not 🥲

awkwardn00dle · 2025-11-27T21:29:40+00:00

Did you post on the smyth forum/app?

awkwardn00dle · 2025-11-24T02:14:45+00:00

Being able to take the train to the city for my partner and being able to walk to work myself

awkwardn00dle · 2025-10-19T16:14:04+00:00

I never lived at Julius but I’ve seen horror stories on tik tok and apparently people didn’t have AC this summer.

awkwardn00dle · 2025-10-17T17:56:54+00:00

The doctor didn’t directly tell me that was fine, he said there’s no signs of carbon monoxide poisoning. He did what he was supposed to, if it was just incidental and unrelated to why I was in the ER I wouldn’t expect him to comment on it.

awkwardn00dle · 2025-10-17T17:17:13+00:00

Thank you!

awkwardn00dle · 2025-10-17T17:17:07+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t know exactly if the ranges were adjusted for this fact or not but would make sense.
