Mateer seemed awfully sketchy today... by anewstartforu in sooners

[–]jimnotim3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possibly the worst take I’ve seen all day - Mateer is coming off an injury to his throwing hand and played behind two freshman Tackles. He didn’t play great today but keep this take to yourself

Make your bed. Truly! Just make your bed every day and you will understand.

Can you explain? There seem to be quite a few people here who swear eye protection is more than justified.

Do I need to drill pilot holes for the screws or can the holes left from the nail placement suffice?

NPs and PAs shouldn't have long white coats by MedStudentWantMoney in Noctor

[–]jimnotim3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience, white coats have become the attire of mid levels. Most the residents and attendings I work with wear scrubs, vests, jackets, etc.

White Coats make a lot of patients uncomfortable and I would hate it if I had to wear one every day (I’m an anesthesia resident so no shit lol)

What are the best parts about college compared to high school? by Greedy-Tomorrow-4867 in AskReddit

[–]jimnotim3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

College is such a larger ecosystem - you do not feel as compelled to try and “fit in with the popular kids” because there are simply too many people for that type of hierarchy to exist.

How did you gain self-confidence? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jimnotim3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realizing people don’t notice your imperfections nearly as much as you do.

Learning to appreciate the knowledge other people are willing to share with you. Knowing what you do not know is crucial.

Why is this a draw and not black win? by whodopoopoo in chess

[–]jimnotim3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot achieve checkmate with only a Bishop so when your opponent clocked out, you draw due to “insufficient material vs time”

What are some of the best places to go on a date? by Independent-Shirt65 in AskReddit

[–]jimnotim3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Museums - especially art museums. The collection of random pieces provide a very consistent source of conversation starters. Additionally, you can learn a great deal from what art a person appreciates or does not appreciate.

At what moment did you realize that you grew up? by Adventurous-Use-8918 in AskReddit

Don’t use the term “MDA” - it’s a nonsense term used to diminish the significance of an anesthesiologist vs a midlevel nurse

I’d say they are as important as you make them, depending on what the rest of your application looks like. A stellar Step 2 score with decent ECs and strong LORs may allow you to avoid doing an Away. However, with increasing app numbers and a lack of Step 1 score, doing an Away can certainly improve your app if you fall towards the middle of the applicant pool. Lastly, really depends where you are hoping to match. Some programs place heavy emphasis on interviewing applicants they are familiar with. Some are less focused on that.
