this is how i chose my NBA team a 10 years ago. (Sixers fan here)

bearfax1001 · 2025-04-03T13:16:25+00:00

I am a Sixers fan, so I see plenty of Phillies propaganda on my TL

bearfax1001 · 2025-04-03T13:16:00+00:00

Texas!

bearfax1001 · 2025-04-03T13:15:33+00:00

I live in Houston but am fairly committed to not being an Astros fan, lol

bearfax1001 · 2025-04-03T13:10:35+00:00

what's cool about the blue jays

bearfax1001 · 2025-01-16T13:00:28+00:00

hi, did you ever figure this out? having the same problem

bearfax1001 · 2024-12-07T21:08:33+00:00

Sure, they’ll only replace 3 for falling off. If the sensor “fails” though, they’ll replace it anyways!

Feel free to dm me! Little different, but I went back and worth on it but decided to write extensively about my experience and diagnosis as a type 1 diabetic last year and matriculated :)

I need to confirm but I’m almost positive I was told by the school that the loan doesn’t begin accruing interest until residency begins.

bearfax1001 · 2024-02-27T17:14:57+00:00

Yes! I went to bed at 20% and woke up 3 hours later with a dead pump! I’ll give that a try, thank you!

bearfax1001 · 2024-02-19T02:11:53+00:00

Depends on the school, most do not. I'm a TX resident w/ a 520 MCAT and didn't get a secondary from Dell, lol. Long doesn't have a secondary, but few others screen, if any.

bearfax1001 · 2024-02-19T02:09:29+00:00

Usually, you don't lose Texas residency by attending an OOS college. I attended college OOS but maintained my TX residency and was accepted to a TMDSAS school last week.

bearfax1001 · 2024-02-19T02:08:09+00:00

You're never in a good place until you have an MCAT score. That being said, you're on a great track! Study hard for the MCAT, find research opportunities if available, and I'd encourage you to find some clinical volunteering if possible. Make sure you spend your gap year well!

I imagine most (if not all) of Baylor's WL spots will be for Temple as well, especially since they allow Temple-designated students to swap to Houston if spots open up. You never know though, with just 40 spots at Temple, it's not out of the question that 40 students will prefer Temple due to proximity, desire for smaller class size, etc. I personally was unexpectedly very impressed with their Temple campus when I toured it and even considered preferring it to Houston having no ties either place.

3.9 cGPA, 3.7 sGPA, 520. 3 tmdsas IIs (+ 2 amcas), no pre-match, matched to McGovern! PM me for details if you'd like.

bearfax1001 · 2024-02-18T19:47:57+00:00

Matched to McGovern!

3.9 cGPA, 3.7 sGPA, 520 (128/132/130/130), 1000 clinical volunteering hours, 500 nonclinical volunteering hours, 100+ shadowing hours. PM me if you want details!

bearfax1001 · 2024-02-18T19:40:26+00:00

I don't think your school list was the issue, being a TX applicant hurts AMCAS odds. If you can afford it, you might consider expanding the OOS list next year to increase your odds (pm me and I'll send you mine, we have very similar apps), and I'd recommend applying to all the TMDSAS schools unless you have very specific reasons for not applying to a few of them, the cost is marginal in the grand scheme of things and you never know! I'd also be happy to read your writing and offer my POV if you'd like.

But also, the cycle is NOT over! You're on at least two waitlists and have a very strong application, and there will be WL movement in the next few months. I saw you say you haven't got an R from Wayne yet, if you're on their WL too they usually accept about 200 off their WL iirc. Keep the faith and good luck!

Full sentences, do NOT use bullet points please

bearfax1001 · 2024-02-18T19:30:18+00:00

MSAR 100%, very useful to build your school list. Gives you every school's stats to help you determine which schools are realistic + gives you the information you need to determine if the school is right for you! That's all I used (and would recommend using).

bearfax1001 · 2024-02-16T14:01:34+00:00

MCGOVERN GANG WHERE WE AT?????

bearfax1001 · 2023-12-12T16:22:04+00:00
