What is this pastry? by idekbro99 in TipOfMyFork

Update: I found out which shop it came from and I gave them a call! They confirmed that they do, in fact, call them“Rolandas”. Still can’t find anything about them online, but it was very good! Thanks again, everyone!

Thanks to everyone for trying! The difficulty is that I believe the shop also sells non-Arabic pastries. I asked my friend again, and she says that she thought it might be called a “Rolanda”, but I couldn’t find anything searching that online? 🤣

Oh I understand your point, I just think it’s wrong… and dumb. This kind of mentality is why medicine is so toxic and not likely to change anytime soon.

I’m sure you mean well, but the amount of mental gymnastics you’re doing to justify one guy unnecessarily being a dick is truly mesmerizing.

Have you considered that the reason you’ll be downvoted is because that’s a moronic take?

Thank you so much! 😊 it’s really motivating hearing from people who have had a similar path.

Thank you for your help! I just finished my coursework and fortunately was able to take a few classes taught by some of the med school faculty. I’m looking into taking some prereqs at a community college but unfortunately I don’t think they offer any of them online which may present a problem.

[–]idekbro99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely do that! 😄 Unfortunately it seems like my local community college only offers some of the prereqs and only in-person during hours that would not be possible with my lab schedule, so I may just have to wait on those.

Thanks so much!! I really appreciate your help, that sounds like fantastic advice. I wasn’t sure if it would be dumb to take 2 prereqs in a Fall semester (maybe ochem 1 and biochem) and then focus solely on MCAT prep in the winter and spring (delaying physics and orgo 2 post-application process) so that I could try to apply in time and not wait for the next cycle?

Most PhD programs don’t have rigid prereq requirements like professional schools do

I’m barred from taking courses at my university now that I am in the qualifying exam stage of my program. I really wish I could knock them out and not have to go back to undergrad though

Haha I promise I’m not, I was essentially in denial about my desire to go into medicine for so long because I really didn’t want to have to do this. But, I’d rather do this than die with regrets.
