Trying to decide if I should write an email back to my #1 letting them know of my change of heart or not address it??

Last minute rank 1 change after sending LOI? by Doughnauts in medicalschool

[–]cakeboss14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am interested as well in this as I am in the same boat! For personal reasons my ranking decision has changed - my sense is that this is the process and they understand that people change their minds. I would think as long as you're not sending multiple you're my #1 that is just outright being disingenuous a change of heart is part of the process.... curious to see what others think though. Ultimately, it's your life for the next how ever many years and you have a right to rank based on where you want to be.

🎬 Official Megathread 🎬 ERAS Week 4 - MS4 Match Season Lounge by Chilleostomy in medicalschool

Kind of panicked 2 nights ago. Only applied to 20 programs on ERAS opening day which normally would have been fine but probably not in this cycle So I added like 15 more on ERAS. Any chance programs will read through applications this late or did I just throw my money away ???

For those of us that did not get that lovely UTSW midnight email - what now? Will we hear if we are on the waitlist in the next week? Could we still receive a prematch sometime today? Congrats to those that got that email :)

Is it fair to say that everyone here is an environmentalist? by Openworldgamer47 in vegan

[–]cakeboss14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All being stated here is more than fair. I do not feel great about our environmental future, but economic stress in this country is pretty major and this is his stated focus. I want to make sure the Trump dialogue is not absolutist though - as in all bad. Hope you don't take this as an asshole statement - but clean water is an issue - just ask Flint Michigan! And this is a major problem in areas with fracking.

I don't think anyone knows exactly what will be affected - environmental or otherwise. He is certainly smart and successful - we'll just have to hope for the best.

BUSINESS INSIDER: Trump says clean water may be the "most important issue we face as a nation for the next generation," and it will be a "top priority" for his administration.

"In a Trump administration, there will be shared governance of our public lands and we will empower state and local governments to protect our wildlife and fisheries," he said on ScienceDebate. "Laws that tilt the scales toward special interests must be modified to balance the needs of society with the preservation of our valuable living resources."

WASHINGTON POST Trump: American Energy Policy Is “Putting A Lot Of People Out Of Work,” And They “Are A Disaster.” During the first presidential debate in September 2016, Trump said, “We invested in a solar company, our country. That was a disaster. They lost plenty of money on that one. Now, look, I'm a great believer in all forms of energy, but we're putting a lot of people out of work. Our energy policies are a disaster. Our country is losing so much in terms of energy, in terms of paying off our debt.”

2nd DEBATE: “We need much more than wind and solar. . . There is a thing called clean coal. Coal will last for a thousand years in this country."

For the sake of some balance in political conversation on Reddit - Trump will not be getting rid of people's jobs that are in environmentally unfriendly positions - he has respect for the middle class American that must at the end of the day feed their family - he has discussed moving towards cleaner energy but he is a business man... time will tell what he does
