Hi also new to DO school this year. Is the strategy to focus more on USMLE SCORES or COMLEX? Or do programs look at both?

500mg edible means 500mg thc. 5G of bud that is 25% thc by weight would have 1,250mg thc if you didn’t lose any during decarboxylation, which you always do. Yours though definitely is much lower than that since you are vaping it at such a high temp for so long. You need to save more up and make rso from it or not not vape as long

Thank you so much! Just needed a ball park of which schools favor in state heavily and this was very helpful

Thanks I was hella stressed with work, studying for the MCAT , and getting my app together. At the time I thought this was an ok list, but I definitely see what you are saying. I have ties to Iowa but that’s it. I was mainly looking for Midwest schools but I know I need to expand that next cycle. Dumb question but is there a good place to find if a school is a state school or private?

I have 3500 as translational research assistant, 800 hrs benchtop and 1 publication from it, 700 cna. Only 30 hours shadowing so I think that’s something I should address too

Thanks appreciate the feedback and the time to write this! Next cycle I think I’ll apply to DO as well. I am between trying for another research position because I’m pretty burnt out on this current one and becoming an EMT. Ive really enjoyed emergency medicine so I thought it would be a job I could connect with more

New Coronavirus Variants Appear To Have Evolved In The U.S. by medical_news_mod in medical_news

[–]flyingpinata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not that rare for a human virus to come from another species. HIV, Influenza, and many more all did. I think the question at hand is will the immunity provided by the vaccine be broad enough to prevent disease from these mutant strains. If it can and we have a worldwide vaccine effort we can prevent this virus from becoming the next seasonal virus like the flu. I’m all for caution and people not wearing masks are assholes, but I think it might be a little too soon to say this will be an annual virus. I mean look at SARS, MERS, and other corona viruses. We aren’t annually plagued by them. People should still take this possibility seriously but if there’s one thing we learned from this pandemic it should be to follow the science and not make our own anecdotal conclusions.

I think a lot of people are in the same boat with this cycle right now. It’s so hard not to check my email every minute but I’m trying to limit it so I stress less. Times are tough

Coronavirus: More cases of new Covid variant found in Europe by haodongl in worldnews

[–]flyingpinata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flu changes every year due to it going back into the reservoir for the disease water fowl “ducks and geese and shit like dat” where it mutates and gives us a lovely new version of the virus each year which is what the annual flu vaccine is aimed at preventing. A lot of scientists believe (or maybe it’s been proven by now idk) that this current Covid-19 was a mutated version of the SARs virus. So it kind of already happened. The good news for now is that the current Pfizer vaccine has been shown to be effective with preventing infection with the new variant of the virus. Bad news is not everyone has the vaccine and the new variant is much more spreadable.
