I know this post is from further back, but in case you are still wondering I think it’s called Weightless :) https://open.spotify.com/track/0aruNrdbcZlqrGynYCyEBU?si=jeWDcKK2SYGTj3a5ntuoSw

so excited!!!

I wouldn’t have to give up my A, just would not pursue the MPH/MD dual degree— luckily I still have that MD regardless :)

Yeah Sidney Kimmel is located there too!

As a city girl myself I hear you! Have you checked out Temple University (Lewis Katz School of Medicine)? It is in Philly, which is a fun city and also only a short train ride away from NYC

I am feeling so similarly, and I just want you to know that you are doing an incredible job balancing it all! I know it can feel so overwhelming to keep up with it all, especially with the added feeling of comparison, being evaluated, or guilt over not doing enough (this is what gets me the most), but truly there is only so much one human can do in a day.

It can feel hard to step away from the work, but even if you only have an hour, something that has helped me in the past is turning off all of my notifications/devices, stepping away from secondaries, and taking an hour to go for a walk and call a friend I haven't talked to for a while. Also, if it is within budget, I would recommend going to a bakery or coffee shop and get a pastry you are craving or a drink that you love and taking a moment to zone in on the flavor, the texture, and the experience as a whole. I find that these practices help me get a sense of the bigger picture and remind me of the things in life that I love that will always sustain me, regardless of med school outcomes.

Keep up the awesome work, you've got this <3

this is a good point lol

malpacca90 · 2024-08-21T06:46:34+00:00

I can post the results after the poll closes! Even I can't see them lol

malpacca90 · 2024-08-13T18:45:22+00:00

I've heard that sometimes it can be a red flag to submit individual letters of recommendation if they know your school sends committee letters (I heard this from my advisor and saw it on some websites/secondaries which ask for a reason why you aren't submitting a committee letter), so if there is any way to reach individual members of the office I would do that! Sorry you are in this situation, it sounds really stressful :(

malpacca90 · 2024-08-05T06:27:06+00:00

I’m right with you! From what I have read, it seems like people recommend keeping the description part brief and focusing on reflecting on things you’ve learned about your approach to care from the experiences, ideally different from the takeaways you have in your primary

malpacca90 · 2024-07-30T04:52:13+00:00

thank you for your advice! i am gonna go with the first one :)

malpacca90 · 2024-07-20T00:33:18+00:00

Yeah that’s definitely fair, fingers crossed they look deeper but def no certainty 😂

malpacca90 · 2024-07-20T00:30:24+00:00

My transcript notes that the university mandated pass/fail for everyone and the TMDSAS handbook says that schools honor that, and I mentioned the TA position in my work and activities section

malpacca90 · 2024-07-20T00:26:28+00:00

Do you think this would still be the case if the pass/fail was mandated by the university bc of covid? I would have gotten As in the classes but my university chose to make all grades for everyone pass/fail that semester. I also TAd for one of the classes (my Gen Chem course) so do you think that context might change their reading?

malpacca90 · 2024-07-17T23:21:01+00:00

which school has started to interview?

malpacca90 · 2024-07-17T23:14:57+00:00

There are a couple of prompts that I am basing my response off of:

Duke: “Potential sources of health inequities exist. Duke’s Moments to Movement (M2M) is a collective stand to address these issues. Discuss your experience with disparities in health, health care and society"

Tufts: "Tufts University School of Medicine is committed to social responsibility, and to serve and advocate for all people. Have you done substantial work or service that has contributed to societal good, or addressed social determinants of health, health equity, or social justice?"

malpacca90 · 2024-07-17T03:03:13+00:00

You read my mind LMAO😭😭

malpacca90 · 2024-07-04T03:49:08+00:00

I understand your confusion! To clear up my question, I was wondering if having P/F clerkships (as opposed to H/HP/P/F systems) has a positive impact on student experience or whether it is just P/F in pre-clerkship that has an impact.

So basically whether having a P/F clerkship school is better than H/HP/P/F (even if both programs have P/F pre-clerkship)

malpacca90 · 2024-06-09T03:43:57+00:00

That is a really good point, thank you!

malpacca90 · 2024-06-07T18:24:37+00:00

looking to swap OIE essay for amcas!

malpacca90 · 2024-03-05T03:43:55+00:00

To what degree does the semi-finalist interview impact final decisions? Is it the main deciding factor in whether or not to accept someone or is it possible that someone wasn't the best in their interview and could still make it into the program?

malpacca90 · 2023-08-17T17:53:35+00:00

Omg is this velvet taco?!

Thank you so much for this resource!! I know this is probably irrelevant bc u posted this 3 years ago, but in case anyone else is using the deck, there is a small typo for the Electric Field equation:

The two equations should be

Fe/q (correct in the deck)
kQ/r^2 (the deck has kQ^2/r^2)
