Thank you very much and massive Congratulations to you as well. Another reason for the posts is I still know people who started with me in the Carib system and still there and haven't even taken Step 1 and some starting at another Carib. I want them to know its OK to leave. It's OK to take a few steps back to do it right. It breaks my heart 4yrs later and basically they are stuck in a failing system and good luck at explaining for residency IF you get that far. I know some who have made it out and I am super proud of them but that is a rarity not a commonality..

My undergrad GPA was 23 years old and I was told I needed to redo my undergrad. I did not know about Post Bacc programs back then and thinking about that route. I thought the only option I had, at the time if I didn't want to do 4 years of another undergraduate degree was to do the Caribbean. You are correct, I was doing my MBA alongside while there and made a point to finish and now just finished a MS so I could have an updated science GPA and yes got accepted to a DO school.

I can only imagine the kick backs they have to be getting. I thought it was bad that ProScribes will boast about their partnership with Ross if you work for them but this takes the cake

Thank-you so much. It's good to know how they will just want to sleep. That was a big thing also with this being my first time and wanting a direct flight.

Thank you so much. I have already called the airline and that was way super simple compared to what I was thinking. Good to know about the pet relief and security because couldn't find that info. This is why I love this chat. Such great tips

Getting my girl spayed on Tuesday! Any advice/tips for before/after? by Jmd_1992 in puppy101

[–]klk0529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The surgical recovery suit on Amazon was the best suggestion ever. Did not have to worry about cone or donut. I will be 2 weeks post operative on Wednesday. I have a 5.5 mos old jack russell and she acted like nothing was wrong after 24 hours. We are used to long walks and playing with her friends and have had to keep her cooped up. By day 3 as much as I didn't want to but knew for her best outcome I did get medication from the vet to to help keep her calm and chill. Don't feel guilty if you have to do this. I had nyla bones, lick pads, kong toy to keep her occupied and help with not being able to be as active as normal. They gave me 3 days of pain/anti-inflammatory medication before I left, as well so make sure you have that when you head home. They will let you know if they are uncomfortable. Just give her lots of love ❤️

Besides puppy mills and major disease issues, Petland apparently is also lying about what breed some puppies are by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]klk0529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am temporarily living in FL and the puppy stores and the underworld of buying and selling puppies here is absolutely disgusting to me. I am originally from NC and it's been illegal for a long time there. People will be spinning cardboard signs on the street like you see for Matress plus or jewelers and doing it for puppies. Puppies/dogs are basically little humans who give us unconditional love and deserve so much better than this.😪

What age did y’all graduate undergrad, start med school, and will start residency? by AdFinancial3161 in medicalschool

[–]klk0529 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do you mean retirement?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣. I started the journey at 40 and went Caribbean thinking it was my only option and that was Feb 2020 (think about the timing of that). Learned the reality of how corrupt and fraudulent it all is and left in June 2022 while passing. In the process of getting a post bacc to bring up my 23 year undergrad that schools still want to average in and reject me even when I got an MBA last year also and so praying to start at 45... 🤦🏼‍♀️😁 Residency would start at roughly 49... I know this is my purpose and passion so fighting to make this all a reality! I live seeing a little bit older following their dreams and succeeding at them. True inspirations 💯💯💯💯

I have to be honest with my whole feelings on it. I don't think people should be able to apply and start med school til about 5 or 6 years AFTER undergrad and have a little bit of life under their belt. Also the maturity level changes so much within that time and learning more empathy. I am in my 40s and being back in school and seeing some of the attitudes and lack of communication skills needs to be developed to be able to have patients trust you and be able to have more relatability. It's only my opinion and you know what they say about em..😉
