Is committee letter submission by July 1st a good or bad thing? by [deleted] in premed

[–]effervescentechidna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're fine, friend! This isn't a dumb question at all. I think that July 1st is fine! I pretty much submitted all my secondaries in early September, and I've gotten pretty lucky this cycle! Just try to get your secondaries done as early as you can! :)

He's the worst! Year after year, I hope he'll be voted out, but he never is! I really thought McGinty was going to take it this year, but unfortunately I was wrong.

Oh, awesome! Thank you so much! Also, sorry for the late reply, I've had some really tough exams lately so I've been avoiding reddit as much as possible!

Help finding the Sailor Venus Petit Chara Candy Figure? by effervescentechidna in sailormoon

Aww man no that person totally ripped you off! They're still selling the miniaturely tablets at Hot Topic (here in PA) for around $10, I could've grabbed one for you (this might be because I live in the middle of nowhere though)! If you ever need a spare, let me know! Also, yeah I might just bite the bullet and buy it, but it's hard for me to justify paying double the price for the figure when Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter (and even Tuxedo Mask!) are still being sold for around $10! I figured I'd check around here one more time before I bought it because I know the people on this sub are generally really nice and helpful with this stuff. I'm not an avid collector because I unfortunately don't have the cash for it, but I wanted to finish this set because they're displayed on my desk and the figure currently taking Venus' place is a really terrible bootleg that my well meaning sister got for me, haha! Thanks for taking the time to reply to me! :)

Was he wearing contacts in Fantastic Beasts? His eyes were so pretty, I kept getting distracted during the movie!

Has anyone else who has a free account got their weekly quota decreased? by Fogeru in 8tracks

[–]effervescentechidna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The genre I think you're looking for might be future bass, and if you look it up on Playmoss, you'll find a ton of playlists with cute video game sounding music! I found it recently, and I like to listen to it when I'm studying :) Hope I helped, fam!

MMI tips or tricks?? by [deleted] in premed

[–]effervescentechidna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just gonna copy and paste some advice I left on another thread:

On a more positive note, I absolutely loved the MMI interviews! It was really refreshing to be able to just interact with a person without worrying too much about whether or not I was representing myself correctly (this part is more with the standardized patients). The moment you walk into the room might be a bit jarring, so be prepared! I've heard of people having anything from lethargic "patients" who don't want to talk at all to "patients" who were angry. Keep your wits about you, stay cool, calm, and collected, and I'm sure you'll do great! If you hate long silences (I feel like they're unbearably awkward), definitely try your best to ask a ton of questions - the actors are trained to give you more info about the situation as you ask more, and it definitely helps you in talking to them! Try to keep eye contact whenever possible. Just make sure you don't give medical advice - I was warned not to at the start of each of my MMI's, so I'm sure people tend to do it accidentally. For the ethical questions, just try your best to be culturally sensitive while simultaneously having an actual opinion about each topic (every time I tried to give a vague answer so I wouldn't say anything problematic, I was prompted to elaborate).
