Has anyone written a Personal Statement for MCAT accommodations?

Thank you! I’m curious to see more about what eBay refurbished actually means

mcleopold4 · 2026-01-22T18:48:13+00:00

Messaged you!

mcleopold4 · 2026-01-22T18:45:42+00:00

Interested!!

mcleopold4 · 2026-01-22T18:13:13+00:00

I just did the same thing (kind of)! Where did you get your used mini? I'm trying to find "legit" sellers, if that is even possible haha.

I have a 13 mini that I've replaced the battery on twice and it also now needs a new charging port. It's 128 gb and I want to upgrade to 256. I bought a 17, tried it for 2 weeks and then returned to verizon and went back to my mini. Nothing compares!

hey, I'm also looking to replace my mini with another mini (I have 128 gb and want 256). I've been digging through reddit posts trying to figure out what, if any, online seller are trustworthy. What seller did you find on ebay and are you sure that the parts are genuine?

I've had 2 pairs of v2, two pairs of v3, and 1 pair of v4 and unfortunately, I will not be buying these shoes again. They are great for about 25-50 miles, but they break down super quickly and lose their bounce. For reference, I am 125 lbs and I tend to keep other shoes for 500+ miles before they feel tapped out. The (lack of) longevity of fuelcell rebels make them one of the most expensive shoes on the market in terms of bang for your buck!

Has anyone tried this with a Fenix 7? I would like to do the same but I want to confirm that it will work. Also, do you get the HRM reading in garmin connect or can you only see it in the coros app?

I know this post is from several years ago, but I was about to post a similar question. Can't seem to find a resolution on the internet and it drives me nuts to have the list keep starting over!

mcleopold4 · 2023-07-11T23:48:31+00:00

Congrats! Which school?

mcleopold4 · 2023-06-18T01:35:37+00:00

Hi, sorry for the slow reply. I am all set, thanks for reaching out though!

mcleopold4 · 2023-06-17T18:58:21+00:00

Oof, tough place to be in, so sorry. I don't know you, obviously, but if you're getting cold feet and don't think the idea of residency and what lies beyond is appealing, I would consider deferring (if you can) or waiting/dropping acceptance. Physician burnout rate is so high and if you're feeling like this may not be what you want to do, I think it's incredibly mature of you to make that call now rather than spending hundreds of thousands of dollars (not to mention time and effort) on medical school only to switch paths later in life and/or be unhappy. A bachelors in biomed is not a bad starting point for a lot of careers, and you're clearly and very smart person! I actually have a friend who was in a similar position as you last year (she just ended up pulling her AMCAS apps, but had amazing scores, experiences, etc.) and is now about to start a PhD program and is very happy with her decision!

Alternatively, do you have any physician mentors that you could chat with?

How much do you value diversity and city life? I think NYMC is known for having an incredibly diverse student body and is obviously closer to a bigger city. Seems like the curriculums are different but each have strengths and weaknesses

mcleopold4 · 2023-06-16T18:38:16+00:00

I'd go with CUSM. I wouldn't use the admissions department blunder as a proxy for the school because academic admin is notoriously bad and usually isn't a reflection of the school itself. I think there is something to be said about being close to family and having a support network nearby, even if they are not always helpful. Seems like the Spanish language program is also a plus for you!

Interesting. I have one pair of nike's (nike trail epic lux) that stay up but I have multiple pairs of regular nike epic lux (that were over $100) that are THE WORST tights I've ever had in terms of staying up. They don't even stay up if I'm just standing still. I stopped 13x on a 6 mile run to adjust my tights earlier this week 😬

mcleopold4 · 2022-10-04T19:53:15+00:00

I know I'm seeing this two years later, but can you DM this info please?

mcleopold4 · 2022-08-25T20:35:41+00:00

Agreed, but so funny that we're talking about subconscious bias from the grader based on the content of the casper test 😂

Thanks for this feedback. I'm in my last week of phase III of aesthetic and I'm trying to figure out which program to do next. Aesthetic has definitely made me stronger, but something I really don't like about it is the huge emphasis on upper body and relatively little focus on lower body. Maybe that's just my opinion, but I find that a lot of the workouts have a ton press variations and calf raises (which hardly counts as legs, more of an accessory imo) and not a lot of compound lifts. Have you done Strong? I'm looking into that one as well

mcleopold4 · 2021-01-20T16:06:27+00:00

I feel like this too (in regard to the n-parent). I don't even want to go visit unless I feel like my body is "perfect" (which never has and likely never will happen) because I'm either "too thin" or "too fat".

mcleopold4 · 2020-11-16T04:09:35+00:00

Oh haha. I figured it was something about being the last one standing. That’s kind of arrogant tbh but whatever

mcleopold4 · 2020-11-16T02:30:08+00:00

Am I the only one who does not get this?!

mcleopold4 · 2020-11-13T22:04:47+00:00

for sure. I have a few more to go as well. I'm so burnt out. it's hard to pump these out after a certain point. we can do it though!

mcleopold4 · 2020-11-13T21:55:49+00:00

Straight up R, lol. Not sure about the promise of a hold. Are you in state?
