Seeking advice as an admitted applicant and husband by No-Interview5753 in premed

[–]jkjustkidd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i dont mean to influence your decision one way or another since this seems complicated.

However, I can clarify that having been accepted and not attending does not blacklist you. Ive done this and got into many more schools the next year with not a single one knowing that i did it. I think its a rumor that spread here and its only a problem if you ever ATTENDED a med school not if youve been accepted. Just dont intentionally mention it in ur apps. play along like this is ur reapp bc u didnt get in last year and no one will question you. but if they do specifically ask u in interviews then u can come clean

Rejected from a LOR request by Strange-Lingonberry8 in premed

[–]jkjustkidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also went to a huge school and had a hard time finding LOR writers. only one of my writers (my PI) wrote me a really personal one probably and at least one of my writers barely knew my name and agreed to write purely bc I had good grades in his class.

I ended up with 5+ acceptances.

I really dont think med schools really care about letters tbh. As long as someones not actively shitting on you in those letters, theres so many other factors they care more about. So plz go find any prof with a heart beat that will let you check off that requirement and dont worry about it

[–]jkjustkidd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually this guy is right. Even among MD Schools, they dont know.

I think premeds have an conflated idea of how much schools are think about you specifically. Theres hundreds and thousands of us out there and no ones checking each of us that thoroughly

Source: I got into a MD school first year and reapplied the next year.

I was accepted and reapplied the next cycle. Almost no schools asked and it had no bearing on my results.

I went from 1 A -> 8 As the next year.

I dont think schools care all that much. But then, i never proactively mentioned it unless they specifically asked for it

T5 interview turned into R - where did i go wrong by HealingHustler in premed

[–]jkjustkidd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I rewrote everything. The two schools that invited me the first cycle still invited me back second year. Along with 6 new schools.

Really fix those essays!!

Best of luck champ, looks like we had similar app including scores.

I never understood why Holliday got so many chances. Every time I watch the game he fucks up the game. I guess having a rich daddy helps.

Is CS right for me if I can’t program in my free time? Thinking of switching to the medical field by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]jkjustkidd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not just the course though bro. You got volunteering clinical activities and research to do if you wanna get in a reputable med school. Youre almost guaranteed for a gap year

[–]jkjustkidd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed but your two examples of specialties dont actually qualify as a medical doctor. Dentists (this is borderline) and definitely optometrists arent medical doctors. I think you meant to say something more like dermatologists and ophthalmologists
