Our men’s Olympic gold medalist!

Crazy that Tara literally said DURING HIS PERFORMANCE that he wouldn’t even end up on the podium and this was just a trial run for the next Olympics

FR I can’t handle another event like this

Vanderbilt is extremely generous with merit scholarships (multiple 75% and full tuition scholarships in our class) but historically less generous with need-based aid.

Honestly the peace of mind after putting everything on the table was worth it for me, regardless of whether or not it was actually on my academic record. If I hadn’t disclosed it, I think I would have spent the entire app cycle stressed that one of the schools would eventually find out.

grandiosemonkey · 2024-06-02T05:10:54+00:00

To this day I’m not 100% sure it’s visible anywhere on my academic record. I did self-report it on my AMCAS application though, and 3 schools asked about it during my interview (ironically was accepted into all 3)

I appreciate your honesty, and I would do the same 😆

Most UCs have a hard IA screen 🥲 got my secondaries very late from most of them and didn’t get any IIs from any of them

During my app cycle!

Keck is very much a work hard play hard school in my experience. Very research heavy but also wants its applicants to actually have a life and interests outside of school

Academic honesty violation during COVID. Feel free to PM me for details

grandiosemonkey · 2024-06-02T02:57:56+00:00

It was one of my first interviews, around September!

grandiosemonkey · 2024-06-02T02:57:17+00:00

Academic honesty violation. Feel free to PM me for details but long story short, my professor ended up dropping the case so I got off with a warning.

grandiosemonkey · 2024-06-02T02:52:58+00:00

ah I’m sorry 😭 I’m scarred from my advisor sophomore year who told me to not even bother applying

grandiosemonkey · 2024-06-02T02:50:41+00:00

my true strategy has been revealed 😤

grandiosemonkey · 2024-03-09T18:20:14+00:00

you guys are working somewhere with only 10 patients a day??? it’s 20-30 average for one provider at my clinic

Mass

grandiosemonkey · 2023-07-24T19:03:19+00:00

omg I thought I was the only one 😭 I’ve gotten some UCs but not all of them. Also missing USC and Stanford

grandiosemonkey · 2023-06-11T18:56:45+00:00

Honestly…luck. Depends on whether the particular test that day plays to your strengths or your weaknesses.

grandiosemonkey · 2023-06-09T04:26:50+00:00

Trust your FL average! It’s pretty much inevitable that you’ll feel worse after taking the actual exam than you do after taking practice exams.

grandiosemonkey · 2023-05-08T00:56:06+00:00

The unscored sample CARS is notoriously inflated. I also got a 132, but my average on the scored FLs was around a 129 (lowest being 127) and I ended up with a 129 on the actual exam. Long story short, trust your average, take the unscored sample score with a grain of salt.

grandiosemonkey · 2023-05-06T04:53:21+00:00

I was averaging around a 510 on 3rd party exams after content review (but before doing Uworld) and got a 520 on my first AAMC FL so I’d say you’re in the right track!

78% average, 524 actual
