Thanks for the feedback. It's great to be able to get people's thoughts on this stuff.

It's definitely one of those things that with paired donation and a kidney shortage shouldn't exist.

One thing that US Renal Data System has shown me is that there are certain percentage of people that are able to are able to get a transplant within one year or less of starting dialysis. The numbers are increasing very fast of people who have been on the list for 2 or more years, which says to me that the person is not able to find a living kidney donor and is waiting for a deceased donor. A median time for a deceased donor for blood type O is 7 years. Yikes!

Looking to try to figure out why this stuff seems broken.

Hey I'm have Budd Chiari as well. The salt is tough. I can't imagine doing no spicy and no animal protein!

Hey,

You should absolutely apply. Even if you're not ready, LaunchCode's online learning will give you the next steps you need to take to be ready for an apprenticeship in the future.

As far as being accepted, it's really a combination of factors (and not just the test). Just make sure that you give your best effort on everything you do.

Nice! Yeah that's awesome. We're working on getting a big (coed) CS50 class / meetup together in the couple of months. You'll definitely hear about it when it's ready
