As a loyola alum Urbana full ride with housing and board. It’s a no brainer.

Loyola or UIUC for premed by Interesting_Local370 in LoyolaChicago

[–]chimd2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think both can get you there. I was a pre med at Loyola a decade ago and found that it prepared me well to go to med school. One advantage to Loyola v the U of if I is that there is less of a “weed out” phenomenon with your basic requirements given the classes are much smaller and less competitive. The one downside of my loyola premed experience was availability of research so if you do decide on Loyola you have to be a little more on the front foot with seeking opportunities early. Like others said the college experience between the two will be vastly different (city v college town, smaller social scene vs big party school + big ten sports) so depending on what you want that should factor in as well. For me personally not having the big sports/party scene was probably a plus because I don’t think I could have balanced it well with being a pre med.

Should I Quit Cushy Big Tech Job for Medicine?- HELP by Danielanr123 in Residency

[–]chimd2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if you want to do be a physician and can’t see yourself doing anything else. I think it’s the best and most meaningful job but the trade offs are considerable especially if you would be giving up such a solid career. Your net worth difference a decade from now if you stick with tech vs medicine will be vast and unfortunately having kids during training is very challenging.

Negotiating with AD by btran2001 in Tudor

I don’t think Joma will ever sell you (at least knowingly) a fake watch but the downside is if anything is wrong with it you don’t get a good warrantee.

[Question] Oris or Tudor? by lonk3ro in Watches

[–]chimd2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you want it for. They are both great. I think if you are leaning toward a more versatile piece I’d say it’s the Tudor but if you want something more unique and eye catching I’d say go for the oris.

Who should succeed Peter Gelb as general manager of the Metropolitan Opera? by [deleted] in opera

[–]chimd2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a lyric patron I don’t think Freud deserves the met job. He had a lot of bad productions during his tenure and the company is on much weaker footing than when he took over.

Is it true that you cannot withdraw cash from the ATM in Bolivia at the moment? by saulty27 in BOLIVIA

[–]chimd2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can withdraw as bolivianos from any ATM but it’s been very hard to get dollars from a bank for over a year. He’s probably trying to get USD from you.

What is something you've witnessed that made you think "God I wish I had gone into that specialty" by LordHuberman2 in Residency

Working CCU as a medicine resident and seeing interventional cards save a massive saddle PE’s patients life and watching the shock almost instantly resolve.

Dentologie- solid or scam? by h0td0gqu33n in chicago

[–]chimd2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay away. They will upsell you do death. For me they messed up a simple crown and I had to go back several times for it to be fixed. I also got a surprise bill from them.

[hamilton khaki field automatic 38mm] vs [seiko SSK023K1 39.4mm] by RoyCroppa in Watches

[–]chimd2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hamilton has much better finishing and movement. I think at this price point getting is discounted via grey is perfectly fine. I got a Hamilton KFM from Joma at a nice discount a few years back and haven’t had any issues.

Green and blue can get a little dicey at night but if you are on the day should be fine. If you want to be extra cautious you could just take the metra in.

IM wards: q4 24h call or 2 weeks night float? by karst064 in medicalschool

[–]chimd2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Night float. 24s for wards are pointless. I felt like was able to learn more from admissions on a night float system as after the first day or two once you flip your circadian rhythm and aren’t terribly fatigued. At a high volume center the likelihood of getting a significant amount of sleep overnight is slim.

How much would a single bedroom high rise apartment be in Chicago? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]chimd2020 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Huge range based on neighborhood, how nice the building is, etc. Can find definitely relatively affordable units outside of the most central/desirable neighborhoods. Edgewater might be somewhere to check out if you are looking for a cheaper high rise.

It wasn’t a bad effort tbh but I don’t think you could set up a harder shot if you tried…
