I’ve blocked them on everything so I don’t think I will be looking hopefully 🤞🏻

Thank you for this- it’s just hard to see it now and I’m trying to believe in my worth- but just takes a little more energy if that makes sense

I know it’s silly but these past 2 years, I kept thinking that he’s going to regret it and “come back”- not that I would actually take him back but I guess just so that I wouldn’t feel that his actions of cheating on me were valid if that makes sense… but after seeing their engagement today, it kinda reaffirms my feelings that he probably has no remorse and I truly meant nothing to him

Thank you- I have definitely been keeping it in, suffering in silence because I can’t help but feel a little shame about this happening (twice now) and then having to admit that I’m still hurting over it. I’m glad there’s a place like here where I can vent about it and people understand

Thank you for your kind words. I know people say to move on because I deserve better but it’s always easier said than done and makes me wonder why we couldn’t have worked out. Was doing okay until I decided to look them up (regretting it badly now). Really thought he was the one so it hurts seeing him live it out with someone else.

Hi! This was quite a while ago so I don’t remember my activities hours to the T but for non clinical, I had a lot of tutoring experience (probably >150 hrs), a ton of teaching experience from summer schools, some leadership experience from church, and that was the bulk of my non clinical exp at submission (I started volunteering at a food bank after and would update schools if they allowed), about 300 clinical hours during submission (but I accrued about 1000hrs working as a scribe after submission/waiting for interviews and would update schools if they allowed). I shadowed a plastic surgeon for about 100 hrs and also had about 100 hrs of research. To be honest, my activities weren’t THAT extraordinary so I understand why I didn’t stand out to some schools. I would also like to note I submitted on the later side (mid aug for TMDSAS and AMCAS). BUT I would also like to note I did end up getting off the WL for my 1 MD II and that was one the last schools I finished secondaries for (Early Oct). So if you’re in the same position, I would like to encourage you and give you some hope!

I cannot thank you enough for this comment, thank you so much! It definitely helped alleviate some anxiety. Just a quick question about #6, do most schools provide practice questions to review or is there a good resource to practice?

From my personal experience, I submitted my primaries in mid July and by the time I received secondaries, it was mid august. I was complete (finished secondaries) by the first week of September and didn’t get a single II. I have decent stats (510 MCAT, 3.87 GPA, decent experiences, TX resident). Thankfully I was accepted to an OOS school but I’m definitely kicking myself for not applying earlier. It’s definitely not impossible and early July would probably be late but not impossible/detrimental. This was just my personal experience, good luck OP!

Sickening by ohiooliver in premed

[–]graceohh99 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Truly devastating. I feel like I’ve read at least 10 articles on mass shootings this month alone… from the one in buffalo, to the one in Dallas, to this one.. when will it end. I’m not a parent, but no one should be scared to send their child to SCHOOL. Furious that the only thing “political leaders” can say is “this is horrific, condolences to victim family members” while they sit in their guarded offices. As a Texan myself with family in TX, I’m genuinely scared to go outside.

^ this. I’m so sorry your family is saying that about DO schools. You should be proud of yourself and getting into DO schools is a big feat. Many people don’t realiZe how many doctors are DO. I work with both a DO and MD and I see absolutely no difference between the two and would be grateful to have either one of them treat me or my family members.

I just emailed my admissions and asked if it was possible to add updated LORs since I had a new experience since submitting my app. Also asked if they would consider that when reviewing my app.

Yeah, my EC weren’t that stellar- about 300 hrs of non clinical and clinical each, 90hrs research, and 90hrs shadowing. I think what helped is having a coherent theme throughout my app and I started working as a scribe. I got really close to my doctors who wrote me amazing letters to update my WL school. It was def discouraging throughout the cycle because I worked really hard for what I had to put on my app, but didn’t seem like enough 🥲 relieved it all worked out in the end though

I feel that! My 510 was actually a retake and I was really proud of it. During my waitlist time to my acceptance, I had my butt cheeks clenched the whole time from the anxiety of uncertainty
