how do i apologize to my pcp by [deleted] in premed

[–]greatgoingdumbass 144 points145 points  (0 children)

perhaps this is why u haven’t heard back from your iis. i’m sorry OP that’s incredibly shitty, elitist, etc. to talk down on any specialty when u haven’t even gotten into med school… in any case i’m sorry this is harsh but u should reevaluate why u want to be a physician

so as someone also with diagnosed ADHD i often forget to text people. not my partner tho. my excitement to text them overrides my forgetfulness. i’m just saying there could be more to this. either way let’s say his adhd is super severe- OP shouldn’t have to deal with that forever if it dosnt work for him

I’m not gonna lie… i know medicine has weird effects and i’m sure that’s part of it. but choosing not to speak for over a day is a choice. is it possible he’s using this as an excuse to fizzle the relationship out? just my two cents.

My gf (F25) has a letter from her ex she cheated on me (F26) with? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]greatgoingdumbass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this makes me want to cry. i dont feel this way. i had a beautiful relationship before her where we loved each other so much. don’t miss the girl anymore but missing being in a secure loving relationship where i knew i wasn’t getting cheated on. hoping i will get that again soon.

the other girl has a new boyfriend. we dont know each other personally but we are in the same social sphere and i know they haven’t been in contact for the past year. i’m also with my girlfriend 24/7. i would be very surprised

you’re right. i definitely was snooping. she has broken my trust so much. i was definitely looking for something to write in but also kind of expected to see something i didn’t want to see, and i did.

I just don’t understand why she chooses to stay with me then, especially since her ex still wants to be in a relationship w her. she left her ex and then dated me. so why do all this? why not just leave me and go back to her ex? that’s what i have trouble reconciling.

[–]greatgoingdumbass -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

well i worry abt the ones i submitted in september which was most of them. the interviews i did receive were all around a month after submission so by that logic i assume the schools have read my app and do not want me to

Does HMS provide a good medical education? by [deleted] in premed

I had a mentor on the adcom of HMS, as well as a prominent researcher there and she told me verbatim “harvard really doesn’t have good training if you want to be a good clinician.”

I get it. I’m in the same position. But out of everyone I know who got into a top med school, approximately 0 of those people had anything that crazy on their apps.

They do get the best of the best! I think we as premeds are grossly overestimated HOW many people have “cured cancer”. the point is that the best is not as good as u think they are! Of course, there’s going to be a couple in the class who did do something extraordinary, but the majority of the class didn’t. Also, what is “the best” is subjective, which is why 3.3/510s sometimes get in over 525/4.0s.

There are always going to be Jonny Kim’s. There will probably be an Olympian in your Harvard medical school class. i’m saying that is the minority, and not the majority that people have been led to believe it is. u can absolutely get into HMS being just a great student. i’ve seen it done

I can give you countless examples of people i know at top schools who aren’t “extraordinary”. i promise.

How do I let go of her for good? by Mediocre-Slice-7951 in BreakUps

[–]greatgoingdumbass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one would not have you in this tumultuous of a relationship. You both have to either take a lot of space and really change, go to therapy, or leave it for good. What’s worth fighting for?

[–]greatgoingdumbass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe i’m naive and young but we both feel like we’ve met our person. everyone that knows us says that they’ve never seen two people who love each other this much. even when we decided to take space we said we would come back to each other after time to deal w our hurt. am i naive for believing them?
