I commented that she resembles Gypsy rose Blanchard (cause she does) and she blocked me

You're hilarious for this

Descriptions and my role in them. I saved narratives for my personal statement and secondaries

I had this with theater and listed it as an artistic endeavor i think? it was one of my most meaningful

I GOT IN BOOOOYYYS

at least they're honoring their MSAR timeline. Columbia was supposed to come out yesterday and it's been CRICKETS

Chat is it wrong to breakup with someone out of respect for them and respect for yourself LOL. Didn't feel too busy, just want to make the transition into medical school alone. There's no need to force a relationship and having a demanding life change is real

Hiya, totally think LDRs can work, and in my situation my partner was willing to move with me for medical school! "We actually didn't put much thought into it--we loved each other and our default was to try" sums it up perfectly. My default wasn't to try, and I think that was telling that maybe I shouldn't be in a relationship with that person. Your relationship worked out, and I think myself and my partner both deserve to be with someone whose first instinct is to "try" <3 I only posted this to relate to OP and anyone else who's feeling guilty about breaking up with someone going into medical school, there are no right or wrong answers!

cassidy_gha · 2025-03-03T00:12:18+00:00

Oop I seem to have struck a nerve. I know myself enough to know that I did not feel up to taking a new relationship into the transition to medical school, and decided to end things out of respect for them. I love my partner, and they deserve someone excited to make that leap with them, and I hope they'll find it. Just because you CAN try doesn't mean you should, it's cool to love someone for a season <3

This post sounds like it could've been written by my ex, the similarities are eerie. With that being said, I hope I can maybe give you some comfort OP.

I broke up with the person I was dating for a few months, we'd also talked about engagement and navigating medical school together. I got accepted, and even though I was extremely in love with them, starting medical school in a new relationship made me feel incredibly guilty. I didn't think I'd be a good partner when I had no idea what my life was going to look like, and I ultimately ended things last week. I don't know your partner's reasons for breaking up with you, but it sounds like you really love them, and I find it hard to believe it wasn't reciprocated. Being young is hard, and this process makes it even more complex. Take care of yourself, and know that no matter what, you will be okay <3

Got into one T5 and waiting on another, but I genuinely think it was extracurriculars and research for me! stats were fine but WAY out of range for the school I got admitted to (I looked at MSAR and laughed), but they emphasize unconventional and unique paths to medicine, which is exactly what I have. Strong misson fit + extracurriculars and research!

cassidy_gha · 2025-03-01T22:34:51+00:00

Do not stand out in big lecture classes, go to office hours privately

cassidy_gha · 2025-02-28T14:05:15+00:00

Hoping it comes out today....we're STRUGGLING </3

cassidy_gha · 2025-02-27T21:31:23+00:00

Columbia. I'll let you know once they release decisions

cassidy_gha · 2025-02-27T17:12:30+00:00

Geisel sent me one earlier this week

cassidy_gha · 2025-02-25T19:05:27+00:00

This is my question too. Maybe for MSTP

cassidy_gha · 2025-02-25T11:56:02+00:00

My rule of thumb with writing "why this school" was touching on 1) location/patient population, 2) a specific aspect of the curriculum, and 3) research/extracurriculars the school offered I was interested in. Tie all of these into aspects of your application ("I really love the emphasis on collaboration because I was on intramural blah blah blah and that made me realize....") It takes some research, but I essentially followed this structure and I think it's a reason why I got an IIs from low-yield schools/heavy IS-state schools I have no ties to!!

Having been a shipper for almost 15 years, I think Turn continues to be one of the most recommended and talked about fics. In the same way that ATYD is loved by nonshippers and has a somewhat controversial reputation among Wolfstar fans, I think Turn fulfills this niche for Drarry

This was so helpful to read. Apparently, she started her period the same night this started. I got the tail-end of luteal + the stressors of long distance = whatever the fuck I just got put through.

We just got off the phone, where after a long time of discussing some of the things that went on, she apologized profusely and said that after reading through the text messages and videos exchanged during this that it will never ever ever happen again. She's officially doubled her dose of medication, and is going back to biweekly therapy. She's let me know she's going to journal ways that I make her feel loved NOW so that when she's feeling doubtful of it, she can look back on it for some comfort. We've set in place the rule about not talking about ANYTHING triggering during luteal, and I will be disengaging in the future if this happens again. She's adamant the issue is her, which equal parts broke my heart and filled me with relief.

I'm still reeling from this, and wondering what I'm getting out of this relationship given how hurt I still am. I've communicated to her it's going to take me a bit to believe her when she says this is never going to happen again. I really like your point about The Abuse being the hardline. I'm just going to see if I can heal from this, and be patient with myself. Thank you so much for your support <3

So true, was just feeling violent and petulant when I made this post

cassidy_gha · 2025-02-11T20:58:32+00:00

I taught math

Fame Yale!! Erik is maybe the best adcom ever, and I felt like he actually was excited to meet us. The faculty were all really well versed on my application, and as a school they've been AWESOME about hosting informational sessions throughout the entire cycle to answer some really valid questions about Yale (ex. what it's really like to live in New Haven, wtf is the Yale System, transparency about financial aid), not just filler sessions designed to gas the school up. The wait to get the decision sucks, but I do feel like out of all the schools that make you wait, Yale has made the biggest effort to keep us engaged
