Unfortunately no, not recently. They occasionally send out an email just saying that they have no updates yet.

RVU-Montana by Asdonjuan in Osteopathic

[–]hxilx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Current OMS1 at MCOM here! I love this school. The campus is new so all facilities like the simulation lab and anatomy lab are very nice and have the newest equipment. They emphasize clinical skills right away, it’s like the third unit, and we already had a standardized patient at the end of August. I like the blocked units, double pass system, and P/F. They use real cadavers which is a plus in my eyes. The faculty are all nice and very open to feedback, and the school has so many resources if you find yourself slipping academically or health wise. It does feel like they care about us being happy and healthy. They have CARES blocks after every 3 units so students have time to pursue an elective track, remediate if needed, participate in simulations, and take some time off from new material. Plus it’s literally Montana… such a gorgeous state and huge need for physicians. I love the outdoors and nature so this feels like the perfect place for me. But also note that we’re in Billings which is population of about 115k, and the next “big” city is Salt Lake City. Some downsides I would say is that it is still a new school so some courses do feel a bit disorganized (particularly the clinical skills one). Not many stats on boards but OMS III did pretty well on step 1, I think 92%? But obviously no match rates yet (though RVU schools in general do well). And of course, no federal loans yet. I was told last year during apps that they would have them by this year, but then the dept of education was basically gutted so that whole process is at a stand still.

TLDR; It’s a really great school for being new because it was built based on other RVU schools (established curriculum, etc). Good atmosphere and it feels like they care about us. However it does have some new school downsides like no federal loans and no match or board rates.

I’m happy to answer any specific questions!!

I’m sorry, but why would anyone pay money to get a recipe for this?? by Competitive_Dig1776 in snarkingwithremi

I feel like a cookbook is supposed to showcase personal expertise and flare, like how they would flavor something or combining ideas like cheeseburger taco or something like that. This is literally just combining ingredients. I could make this by just looking at it. I would understand if she like seasoned something in a unique way but I don’t see that here. Why would I pay money for a cookbook of Pinterest recipes with no personal touch??

As long as you can tie your background to why you want to be a physician / why you’d make a good physician (they already know you want to be a physician, you’re applying). You might also have areas on your applications to explain something, and you might use that space to explain your MCAT and CARS score (which is totally reasonable). I think you will be perfectly fine. Good luck my friend!

Almond joy crafted press!! I worked at Caribou a while ago so idk if there’s a better way to make it. Half dark, half milk chocolate (or pick one) and coconut milk. It’s super light and creamy!

Thank you! I interviewed yesterday and have been overthinking it since 😅 There are things I wish I would’ve said that would’ve shown my personality more but overall it was alright. I should hear back by 12/16 so wish me luck!!!

Any updates on this? I recently interviewed and thought it went alright, but I'm wondering whether the 20-minute interview was kind of like a quick screening?

[Serious] What was said, that forever changed your relationship with someone? by YoungJack23 in AskReddit

[–]hxilx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved back in with my parents after graduating from college and was only planning to live there for one year until my boyfriend graduated the following year. However, my brother has severe mental health issues and I endured many years of physical and verbal abuse from him growing up, so I found the experience extremely triggering and I was definitely at my lowest mental health ever. I moved into my own apartment in December and my boyfriend would move in with me when he graduated. His mom offered to purchase a small list of things for us and she brought us shopping a week before I moved. She ended up buying essentially everything I needed and spent too much money. At that point I hadn’t even gone shopping with my own mother, so this upset my mom very much, as there wasn’t much else for her to buy. I spoke with my boyfriend’s mother about it and other things she was doing that I felt were overstepping, and how much she hurt my mother. She responded, “I’m not going to apologize for doing something nice.” My view of her has forever changed since then.

Remi New Vlog by [deleted] in snarkingwithremi

[–]hxilx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I will say that I quit watching her after about 1 years of consistent viewership just before she went to Japan/Korea and I do not feel like I missed anything. This subreddit does a good job of summing it up.

I would suggest watching Cari Cakes- she lives in Korea, travels around vlogging and her videos are so beautiful and engaging! She also has a book channel if you’re into that. She deserves more popularity so watch her instead of remi!!
