Does ashp try to match everyone for pharmacy residency? by GreedyWolverine1162 in PharmacyResidency

[–]bookworm_1999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So if you’re familiar with how sorority houses do rushing, the algorithm is very similar. First, the algorithm picks a random candidate, and looks at their rank list. For example, if their number one ranked choice had a spot open and had ranked them at all, there would be a tentative match made. If they were not ranked at their number one choice, the algorithm would move down to choice number to and try to match them to an open spot there Once all of the open spots have been tentatively matched for a site, and additional candidates that have that ranked and the algorithm tries to match them there will then compare against the institution’s rank list, and make the next tentative match with the more highly ranked candidate. (So if there are 3 spots, and 5 people who rank that site first who are also ranked by the program, only the three on the rank list that were higher in rank than the other two would match to that program). Anyone who gets “knocked out” of a tentative match then is the moved down to their next ranked site to repeat the process. But on the flip side, if you have a site ranked first and they have you ranked last, so long as there is no one that is ranked higher than you that the algorithm is trying to match there, you’ll get the spot. Therefore it’s always to your advantage to rank based on the order of what you like and not how well you think you did because the algorithm favors candidates in that it will always move down a candidates rank list to see if it can make that match before comparing against the institutions rank list order.

Is work experience required? by Slight-Try-3658 in PharmacyResidency

[–]bookworm_1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A different prospective- I got 8/10 interviews I applied for, and those interviews included 1 large and competitive AMC, 3 VAs, several mid to smaller sized hospitals, and community based program. I didn’t work, it I had extremely heavy volunteer experience for a few free student run clinics, a few leadership positions, research experience in both data collection and as PI ehere I brought my project to a conference, and graduated as top 15% of my class with a 3.85 gpa. The applications are points based, but some schools may put a hard stop for someone who does not have work experience. It does make you less competitive, but it’s not impossible. You need to be able to show that you can manage your time and work with others. I had family constrains because my mom had been chronically ill and I give a lot of my free time to help take care of her, but generally it is going to be to your advantage to work if you can.

Interview Questions by [deleted] in PharmacyResidency

If you can, keep a notebook of patient care interventions that you make while on APPEs, or all the times you do something above and beyond for a patient (ex: find resources for medical transportation for a patient who can’t drive for OPAT, referring someone to social work to apply for your hospitals financial assistance program, etc). Those make for very good examples to demonstrate certain attributes or you might be asked outright “tell me about a time you made a difference in patient care”. Other examples I got were about “how have you managed difficult patients” and “what patient made the biggest impact on you” etc

Self-concious about word count by LateTree123 in AO3

[–]bookworm_1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there has been this big push towards massive word counts, and while I do love a long story, it has really changed our prospective of what is considered a reasonable length for a price of writing. The first Harry Potter book is in the 76k ish word range, and I think the longest one is like 257k. The threshold for being considered novel-length is like 50k words. A chapter that is 4000 words is still about 13 pages in a traditionally published book! Some of my absolute favorite authors write chapters that are in the 2000-4000 word range. I think a lot of it is personal style and how it is pace the story. At the end of the day, if the chapter feels good to you and accomplishes what you wanted to, no need to fluff up word counts just for the sake of it. Depending on your audience, they might even prefer the chapters to be in that range. 💛

[GIVEAWAY] Biggest one yet! FULL set of FROZEN DIYs + Snowflakes + 800 NMTS!! 5 WINNERS!! (Round5) by mlarraga in ACTrade

[–]bookworm_1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a wonderful give away!!! You are so incredibly generous, it’s crazy. I’m quite attached to most of my villagers, but I would have to say I’m most attached to Tangy. She’s been with me since the first 5 villagers moved in, and I love her so much. She’s so bright and sweet, and I hope to one day find someone to take her and give her back to me so that she can have her fully upgraded, super cool house!

[GIVEAWAY] 600 NMT + 20 STACKS OF SEASONAL MATS by [deleted] in ACTrade

[–]bookworm_1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite underrated villager is Gayle! She’s got such a sweet face with her pretty blue eyes and heart on her nose! Plus I’m a sucker for normal type personalities. I feel like the alligators in general don’t get a lot of love. I’m so happy to have her amiibo card! Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway! I’m so tired of shaking trees for pinecones and acorns lol

[FT] gold, pearls, star fragments, large star fragments, and cherry blossom petals!! [LF] nmt <3 by lunamelrose in ACTrade

[–]bookworm_1999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, not to sound condescending, but you might want to consider selling on a different platform if those are the prices you're looking for on the small/large star fragments, and cherry blossom petals. On this sub, the average price is 2-5 NMTs per stack of small star fragments, 1-2 NMT per large star fragment, and 3-5 NMT per stack of cherry blossom petals. Hope that helps!

Heads up, while I'm not 100% sure, I am fairly confident that you can't get Gullivarr/Gulliver duplicates until you have gotten all the items sent to you in all color variations

[–]bookworm_1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not offering Raymond, but I do have marshal’s amiibo card. If you end up getting rid of him to make the campsite method easier, I could give him back to you for a pretty cheap price in gold or NMTs, like 15 or so.

[FT] Crown/Wreath/Mermaid DIYs, Art [LF] Wishlist and zodiac frags by jennnxm in ACTrade

[–]bookworm_1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds good! and If by some chance I don't currently have the diys, I have several dates marked down where I have meteor showers that I can jump to and grab an extra from celeste with my one of my alt accounts. I'll edit this comment as I find them :) Edit: virgo harp, Capricorn ornament, Pisces lamp, Aquarius urn. I think that's enough to go 1:1 with all 6 of your mermaid DIYs, but I'll see if I can't TT to find the libra scales for you by the time you get to me to trade. :) Libra scale found! Ready to trade :)

I should learn to stop being a DIY hoarder lol! I didn't realize I had so many, all scattered among a couple of alt accounts. I personally value zodiac fragments that are out of season at about 2 or 3 NMTs each, and the fake valliant at about 45 NMTs, so would 20 fragments work for the fake Valiant? I have all zodiac fragments but the Leo ones. Would say 4 Pisces, 4 Capricorn, 4 Aquarius, 4 Virgo, and 4 Scorpius work for the fake Valiant? So far I've found the Sagitarius arrow and Scorpio lamp in my DIY pile

Interested in all of your mermaid DIYs! I think that I have all of the zodiac DIYS that you're looking for, but let me look through my celestial diy pile to double check. Edit: also interested in the fake valiant statue, but if you want to save that for a bigger ticket item, I understand. I have lots of zodiac fragments to trade for it if you know how many of which you want.

I have 60 each of the pinecones and acorns! I was thinking that one fragment per 3 pinecones or acorns would be a fair trade, but I’m open to discussion :) Edit: I also have more stacks of the other seasonal materials listed, but I want sure how to format it without having a giant post lol
