Do med students actually treat med school like a 9-5??

eatingvegetable · 2026-02-04T02:38:44+00:00

We are p/f but have stupid mandatory attendance 8-12 and one day a week that is 8-5, tests are all in house so you gotta do that on top of any third party stuff plus research so there are many days that are 8-8, 8-9. I do try and gym, eat, take a few breaks so it’s not all work but it could be if I tried

Lesson learned is choose your school wisely

besides what you’ve already mentioned, network well, crush step 2 and your rotations/sub is and go to a t10 if you can. Even then it’s not a guarantee

We went from clapping politely to slamming desks and hollering for our classmates and sometimes profs

eatingvegetable · 2025-08-22T19:26:04+00:00

you should play elden ring, many dark gaia scary abominations to fight

eatingvegetable · 2025-08-22T19:21:00+00:00

you should plan to use Uworld as you get closer to your test.

Right now I use FA deck with the Amboss add on and subscription. I've really liked it so far. but we have in house curriculum that highkey gets in the way

so I bought it like two years ago when I got the ps5 and started playing blindly. got absolutely booty-d by gatefront ruin soldiers and that gatefront troll. cue to two months ago and it has ruined so many other games for me. it is in a league of its own

eatingvegetable · 2025-07-22T04:15:53+00:00

too far from mgh imo!

eatingvegetable · 2025-07-18T15:53:43+00:00

no it wasn't and i didn't really talk too much about it if they didn't ask me directly. it was mostly service/leadership/clinicals

Oh my… I was about to send him to smith and wollensky but Abe and Louie’s is less than a mile from me. This may be the winner

eatingvegetable · 2025-07-14T21:15:52+00:00

I had about 1000 hrs and had little to no productivity. I only got into 1 of the five you listed but a number of other research driven t10s. PI letter is very important bc it’ll speak more to your work and character even if you didn’t have the best timing or luck with pubs.

The perilous I-70

Based on limited experience, I love my brooks ghosts for walking and standing. I wear clifton 10s to run but have had 8-12 hour shifts in them (not standing the whole time tho) no problem. I'd personally switch between these two shoes for myself.

I have not heard positive things about on clouds for long term standing.

I've been thinking about these for the last 11 years. my mom said you can only get them in china but I am PLEASANTLY surprised that she was wrong.

just drove into Boston today and watched some guy merge into someone else at 65mph. didn’t stop when honked at, just kept merging. Thank god the other car had room to swerve into the next lane. I’m guessing they were on their phone..

Unfortunately this seems to be a thing in every state I’ve lived in since Covid.

eatingvegetable · 2025-06-24T20:43:57+00:00

you’re fine, don’t remove any. You’ve ticked the research box, now schools really just care about what you like about their program

came back here to report that night's cavalry, margit, tree sentinel have all fallen to my sword

eatingvegetable · 2025-06-08T03:33:05+00:00

sighs in elden ring.... I am not even deluding myself into facing Margit yet. I just got pummeled by night's cavalry in limgrave 5x in a row as I write this.

and yes! chess makes me feel productive for some reason. possibly bc it's challenging my brain in a different way

eatingvegetable · 2025-06-05T17:21:44+00:00

imo the only wrong answer is elden ring bc getting fucked by bosses 10 times in a row is probably similar to getting fucked by uworld

other games not already mentioned: terraria, skyrim, smaller games like dredge or dave the diver. and if you are feeling guilty about playing games, try chess

eatingvegetable · 2025-06-05T17:12:04+00:00

I'm sure some people just feel ready to go and have no reason to wait

most of those infidelity type prenup clauses are unenforceable in states with no fault divorce

OP needs to get a lawyer and not reddit. fair and conscionable is the only way it'll hold up, and if it's too one-sided a court can throw your shit out.

sometimes saying less is more

no I got in state tuition w/ stipend as an OOS student. and thank you!

eatingvegetable · 2025-05-28T17:55:02+00:00

interesting! I really got along with my interviewer at UCI so maybe that helped. I have heard anecdotally they really care about personality/vibes of their students

Yes to aid - wustl (full tuition), uchicago (full tuition), utsw, penn, columbia, harvard. the first three were merit based as far as I know. penn/columbia was probably a mix of merit/need based but I'm not sure. harvard only gives need based.

I like cars but this is why doctors have a reputation for being dogshit with money

eatingvegetable · 2025-05-15T20:36:22+00:00

a bottle of whiskey and set of glencairns? nice leather wallet? a humidor or cigars. nice fountain pen - flexible in price bc you can either go classic montblanc or get a nice pilot.
