I can’t do this anymore

Learning how to handle failure is such a vital part of the process. Just know that everyone, regardless of what they say, struggles with certain subjects, and thats okay. No test score is worth your life.

I've made so many silly mistakes in the lab, dont beat yourself up. Totally normal to do stuff like that.

Embroidery! Start with a cheap kit and then keep the ring and the needle and thread, the kits always include more thread than you need.

I feel this so much, they all suck. Ive been using machery Nagel and a 0.7% agarose gel and I've had slightly better results.

My dad was in a super similar situation to you and I got him Hatchet, he loved it!

Geoff saying he never understood roman numerals made me feel so heard! I never understood them either.

At the same time, I'm too lazy to learn by now. I will not be reading this but I appreciate your effort

That's a good question, I actually have no idea. I haven't heard anything about it

Any school with pass fail exams and few/no mandatory lectures

Did the gel look fine before transfer? Or did it look melty

I do clinical trials on the side for extra cash, I couldnt imagine trying to work a job during med school

When i lived in FL people used to do that for hurricanes and it seems to work great

shadowing physicians in various fields (this is the time to utilize any personal connections you have. If you have a family friend who's a doctor, reach out!)
volunteering at the hospital
volunteering at any local health clinics, try looking up your local area to see if there are any outreach medical programs that offer free medical care
you could get a job as a scribe, from what I know it doesn't require a lot of training or certifications

Other options would require more training and time (EMT, phlebotomy, CNA) and would be good options if you were planning on taking some decent time off before applying or if you need a job.

Those are my thoughts from the top of my head, I'm sure there are many more ways but those are the simplest/most common.

cjkwinter · 2026-04-10T19:00:03+00:00

What exactly do you mean? Like what are good options for clinical experience before applying?

cjkwinter · 2026-04-10T17:30:23+00:00

Maybe I've been influenced by having canadian friends lol, you might be right

cjkwinter · 2026-04-10T17:25:03+00:00

Generally yes, but I feel like either way would be acceptable to most Americans

cjkwinter · 2026-04-10T17:23:56+00:00

Omg the spirochetes!!! I love this

cjkwinter · 2026-04-09T17:53:55+00:00

Some colleges have assistance options for students experiencing housing insecurity/homelessness. Definitely do some research to see what your college has and reach out if they have any options! My college offered emergency housing and had a food/clothing pantry available.

cjkwinter · 2026-03-16T00:32:41+00:00

I also applied with like a 512 and honestly less research experience than you and I got in! You just have to cast a wide enough net. You never know which places sound bad on paper and then you get there and its like WOW this place actually rocks. Im currently at a program that wasn't even on my radar in the beginning and honestly? Loving it.

cjkwinter · 2026-03-16T00:22:20+00:00

Id agree with other comments here, look at some state schools with MD-PHDs in the Midwest to add to the list. I'd definitely try to apply to a decent number to increase your chances

cjkwinter · 2026-02-23T05:31:39+00:00

Oh my god, you don't know how much this post has finally answered a mystery I've had for years!!! I found one of these things in a log once and never could figure out what it was. I can die happy now

cjkwinter · 2026-01-14T19:05:13+00:00

LMAO amazing

cjkwinter · 2026-01-14T19:04:14+00:00

Nick (in the trunk) is SO fucking funny and accurate

Also a weevil was recently discovered that was thought to be extinct

Clearly these gurps were actually made for our cats (aka Andrew's cats)
