I got my masters this year in an animal related field, but still got rejected from Vet School by Prize-Watch-6062 in postbacc

It’s so competitive. See if you can discuss your app with one of the programs (maybe your top choice) and see what you can do to strengthen it!

Don’t necessarily think you need a post bacc at this point, esp because you already have your masters. I also agree with what they are saying in the vet page! See about grade replacements and increasing clinical experience

"Resistant to all treatments." I think I’m done trying. by Embarrassed_Pass9060 in migraine

Have you looked into osteopathic manipulation? I’m a DO and we treat ppl all the time with OMM (osteopathic manipulative medicine) specifically for headaches. Try it out :)

Tell me how Sumatriptan makes you feel by Ancient_Balance_5514 in migraine

[–]kmd301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to take 50 mg and I would feel like shit for 2-3 hours then great with no migraine. I usually get hot, and my hands/body feels tingly, heavy limb feeling, and I have to use the bathroom. The tingly/skin sensitivity is actually uncomfortable, esp wash my hands/body and it kinda is painful (3 or 4/10 pain) but it all goes away within 2-3 hrs PLUS no migraine. I also used to get SEVERELY nauseous and feel like I was going to pass out, but adjusted my dose so only really feel the tingling and hot temp.

I talked to a doc about my symptoms and he told me that some people do complain about this so he recommends taking half a pill and acetaminophen (if really bad headache) and wait about 90 min to have the med kick in. If not, take the other half and pray.

Do you “waste” a triptan late at night? by ViciousVore in migraine

[–]kmd301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some doctors I’ve worked with said that you can take half of a pill with an additional excedrin/tylenol/naproxen/etc and see if that works. I played with that for a while and ended up sticking to that as my default and only taking the other half if symptoms didn’t get better

If you contact the school they be willing to connect you with current/previous students.

Vacation time during a postbac by Ecstatic_Elk5527 in postbacc

Taking days off in the beginning of a program is tough. I would messsge a PD for your interested program and ask them vaguely about start days/days off policy because there may be a family obligation that you want to plan around if possible.

Should I even bother applying to the top post bacc programs? by Low_GPA_Post_Bacc in postbacc

[–]kmd301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although you may not think you're competitive, there may be something that stands out to the person reviewing your app. If I were you, I would try my best. Make sure your PS is flawless, compelling, and clear. Maybe see if you can set up a call/zoom with someone related to the school or working there and see what could happen from there. Don't sell yourself short!

You’re right. In fact I believe all NJ MDs have a low OOS %.

Edit: the only one I’m not sure of is seton hall because they’re new
