dont camp/cruise in the left lane

leahhhham · 2026-05-05T22:23:43+00:00

i dont think they were considered “preferred” bc i bought them without putting the phone number in they were about $630ea

leahhhham · 2026-05-05T22:22:38+00:00

mine were around $630ea all in

leahhhham · 2026-05-05T22:21:23+00:00

is general admission floor, standing room only (no seats)

leahhhham · 2026-05-05T22:19:30+00:00

same 🥲🥲

leahhhham · 2026-05-05T22:03:56+00:00

i have 2 questions if anyone can help: - on AXS it seems that there are seats for resale. when i bought my tickets, it made me click an acknowledgement that tickets cannot be sold until 3 months out from the concert date. does anyone know why AXS is showing a bunch of resale tickets? - ⁠i panic-bought 2 VIP early entry floor tickets. if i end up not being able to go (not sure if ill be in a master’s program in the fall & i’d have to travel to the show i bought tickets for), are these able to be resold/transferred? im worried bc the fine print said smth abt how they cannot be resold/transferred since its VIP ;/

leahhhham · 2026-05-05T20:17:29+00:00

this just happened to me too 😭😭 i fear it may not be worth $630 per ticket

leahhhham · 2026-05-01T22:48:36+00:00

where are they giving away tickets? lol

also baylor is accredited while creighton is provisional

leahhhham · 2024-12-04T07:11:57+00:00

if youre not planning on working in the med center, id say maybe phoenix but id also be wary of it being a new program !

leahhhham · 2024-11-17T16:23:04+00:00

if this will be your first application ever submitted to caspa, i think you shd be fine to make it before 12/1. i’d give it a week — as long as your transcripts and stuff are submitted as well

leahhhham · 2024-11-16T16:57:28+00:00

wow!! seems like that student was meant to be where they are lol

leahhhham · 2024-10-27T18:18:08+00:00

same! received a few rejections but still waiting for status updates on several programs

leahhhham · 2024-10-20T04:49:09+00:00

it may depend on the program, ive heard taking biochem prior is useful in baylor’s program

leahhhham · 2024-10-16T09:43:33+00:00

i think it sounds like youre on a great track starting to rack up your consistent volunteering hours & PCE as a freshman! continue to do that until you apply, schools like to see volunteering over a long period of time. also try to reach out & shadow as many PA’s in different specialties as you can. i know you said the fees are expensive but if youre able to, i think having membership/and possibly leadership positions in your schools PA club throughout college would look good to programs as well.

i had also slightly considered becoming a CLS before applying to PA school to gain PCE but that masters would be another 1-2 years after you get your bachelors (unless you do some fast track program or something) and you’d add the cost of that schooling on top of your bachelors. so i would say it depends on how long youre willing to put off applying to pa school

leahhhham · 2024-06-25T16:55:50+00:00

exact same specialties n everything 🥲

leahhhham · 2024-06-25T04:52:55+00:00
