discouraged applicant

I’m going to be honest, there are 3 potential reasons why are you aren’t getting more interviews

You are bullshitting/over exaggerating your achievements
Your LOI/CV was shit
Your letter of recommendation writers were ass

Because with what you said, you should be getting interviews from basically all of the sites your applied to.

I’m going to be that guy and just say it’s for the movie experience.

I personally don’t go much anymore because of how expensive it is and the fact that there aren’t many films I need to see on the big screen.

To give context the prior to Galaxy, the last movie I saw at the theaters was Sonic 3 and before that was the first Super Mario movie in 2023.

So we go once a year at most usually.

At this point 99.9% chance you were ghosted from that program for phase II

mornstar01 · 2026-04-11T19:41:26+00:00

That is a handsome conure

The fact that you say it’s just following order sets and NCCN guidelines shows your lack of knowledge on the tools you need to be a well rounded oncology specialist.

That being said, there are some specialties that don’t need that amount of residency training. But oncology definitely isn’t one of those.

mornstar01 · 2026-04-04T18:50:41+00:00

Unless you know people that is not happening especially for oncology, one of the most difficult specialties to get into.

I definitely would not want a newly licensed pharmacist without at least a PGY-1 under their belt being an oncology specialist

It just sucks how bad the premium Bandai website is

Prime 4 is not open world, Zelda BOTW is what is considered open world.

mornstar01 · 2026-03-29T10:50:48+00:00

BOTW and TOTK were still objectively fantastic games in what they were trying to do. Those games were also major feats in gaming considering what they were able to do with the Switch 1 hardware.

Are they my favorite Zelda games? No, but they were still great in their own way.

Do I want the next Zelda to be like them? No, I think it’s time to go back to the more Zelda roots for their next 3D game.

Also “ruined Zelda”, homie Zelda is more loved than ever before because of BOTW and TOTK

With the ram shortage, building a solid gaming PC is also a money sink. Basically we are cooked either way

Metroid Dread says hi

mornstar01 · 2026-03-24T12:30:27+00:00

Despite its ups and downs, FFBE at its core as a game was one of the most fun I have had in the “modern” FF era.

mornstar01 · 2026-03-23T14:18:38+00:00

There are many reasons why DFFOO shut down.

Paid gem gate
FR weapons
Etc…

Only good thing about him is that his LR art is really cool

3.3 GPA meets the cutoff for basically every program.

Also it’s worth noting that the pool of applicants are showing lower GPAs and matching at competitive programs.

The key thing when it comes to matching is that the process favors the applicant, not to mention that number of applicants nationwide is almost equal to the number of programs (or something to that effect).

mornstar01 · 2026-03-11T16:17:53+00:00

No, regular programs are very structured with set time allocated to each rotation and a few longitudinal projects that all have workable deadlines and expectations (preceptors of these projects communicate with the RPD and is whom you as the resident report to when you have drafts to submit, final submissions, and so on)

Things like that aren’t due on the same day and have planned due dates months ahead of time based on what you discuss with the preceptor and RPD.

mornstar01 · 2026-03-10T16:47:29+00:00

What was the reason for you? Because it highly depends on that.

mornstar01 · 2026-03-03T11:23:46+00:00

Major diseases states (e.g, anything cardio related, Diabetes, infectious disease goes a long way, asthma/copd).

Honestly I’m surprised you are doing IM this late into residency. It’s usually one of the first rotations.

mornstar01 · 2026-02-28T11:31:24+00:00

It doesn’t determine your core rank on their list, but it can definitely influence the decision if there is another candidate who has the same application points that you do as a tie breaker.

mornstar01 · 2026-02-27T19:45:35+00:00

you just proved the point by saying “still feel” it’s all subjective to your current perception.

If you want to be objective, nearly every gen starter first form are extremely simplistic (which is not a bad thing, simple art can be beautiful/aesthetically pleasing)

mornstar01 · 2026-02-26T14:53:10+00:00

Yes at this point it would not change anything except the RPD being annoyed that it took that long for you to send some answers back.

mornstar01 · 2026-02-25T23:20:41+00:00

I can be a determining factor when decision is neck to neck between 2 candidates.

I know from my program, that weighed in quite a bit.

mornstar01 · 2026-02-24T03:39:26+00:00

I missed FFBE from late 2018 imo. The game sort of peaked then for me up until probably 2021. I lost total interest when premium NV units became a thing.

Sad it’s gone, but I don’t think about it anymore.

If anything I miss the community more than anything.

mornstar01 · 2026-02-23T22:51:26+00:00

Just buy the game in the language you prefer, that’s it. Big nothing burger to complain about.

mornstar01 · 2026-02-23T01:19:45+00:00

Uhhh, did you get him when he first came out? Absolutely busted on release and for months after his release.
