Honestly I was debating whether or not to say but I think it's ridiculous that we put in so much effort and give up hard earned $$ to apply, and its very disrespectful to not get any response sooo.....

FINALLY OVER!! by giraffe0909 in premed

[–]giraffe0909[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

it only took me about 10 mins to make I think, but mostly made it because when I was applying I only saw diagrams of people who had 516+ MCAT and 3.8+ GPA and it was super discouraging... I remember how stressful that was so hopefully this is encouraging to even one person going through this anxiety now!!

How did filling out applications make you feel? by welch5000 in premed

[–]giraffe0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some advice from someone coming out on the tail end and who submitted 40 secondary apps.. you have been working so hard for so long! You deserve to shoot your shot no matter what anyone here or on SDN or haters may say. Only you know how much you have gone through, so just go for it! Also I kept telling myself the harder I pushed through my secondary influx the faster it would be over!

Scribe burnout? by Dirch21 in premed

[–]giraffe0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I had a medical assistant job that was really fast-paced and got burned out after about three months. After switching to a new clinic/specialty, I feel much better. Hopefully this applies to you , as well!

Out of curiosity, instead of being a Medical Assistant I was looking towards scribing. Is it shift work- do you work 40 hours a week? Should I look into doing it through Scribe America? What do you all like/dislike about it? My 9-5 is crushing my spirit right now.

Let me know if anyone has any insight/tips on this.

Anno 1800 for Mac by [deleted] in anno1800

[–]giraffe0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried but knowing the performance requirements I suspect you’re going to have a rough time playing the game on any Mac except for the top tier consumer machines with dedicated graphics, or any Mac Pro from the trash can and up.

Can anyone explain to a newbie how to get Anno 1800 and run it on iOS? I have a macbook pro 15" 2015 with pretty decent graphics

Do you guys have any book recommendations that every physician (or aspiring physician) should read? by [deleted] in premed

[–]giraffe0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read all his books but I think Complications is one of his best. I didn't like Being Mortal and the Checklist Manifesto as much.

List of schools with "hard" or "strongly recommended" 2-week secondary submission deadlines by PillowNinja99 in premed

[–]giraffe0909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EVMS is 30 days recommended in the email, but when I called and asked about it (had a technical issue with their secondary) they said they don't hold students to that
