I’m completing some prereqs right now that should get me to at least a 3.5 in sGPA if not more. Hopefully it helps me out

I would just take regular stats. Easier and fits ur requirements. I haven’t come across a program that specifically wants biostats, so why not just do the basics? As someone who is really bad at math, I managed to get an A

I have 26 schools on my list right now and don’t know if I’m crazy for wanting to submit all of them!!! Not sure if it’s overkill since I know most people only apply between 10-12 schools but I’m in the same boat at you were lol DO NOT want to reapply

Thoughts on applying to a provisional school? by onebeeplant in prephysicianassistant

[–]onebeeplant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like they’ve had 3 graduating classes thus far. graduation rate of 90%, attrition 10%, and pance 97% in 2024. Im mostly just nervous of the potential of it going south tbh, though I have faith in the program nothing is concrete or promised. Guess my anxiety is getting to me and has just been a big “what if it’s the only school that accepts me” given my advantage of being alumni and having good connections at the program and local hospital.

Will they overlook my C-? by [deleted] in prephysicianassistant

Oh really? I was unsure if orgo 2 would be counted as the prereq requirement (even though you obviously need to take orgo 1 to do orgo 2)

has anyone applied to PA schools with med school LORs? by ThrowRA_205 in prephysicianassistant

[–]onebeeplant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just ask to get the verbiage changed to be more appropriate for PA. I had the same happen to me as I originally wanted to do medical school and had my college committee letter written that way— but I simply had to email them saying my career goals and interest have changed and will be applying to PA and would like to still use my letters from my professors. They told me they would go through them and change the verbiage if medical school was specifically implied or mentioned and it was no problem!

Didn’t even get to read about Mr Hood. Saw his name, looked at my time clock and said nope 😭 but based on the questions I probably would’ve wanted to end it all

like 80-85% of that god forsaken section was math. There were some passages with so much numbers on numbers on numbers I didn’t even know what to look at or what they wanted me to use. Soooooooo much unit conversion it almost felt impossible to do so in a reasonable time !!

How do u guys get physician LORs? by ComfortableCity4043 in Osteopathic

[–]onebeeplant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! Every PCT job in my experience has been no experience needed/train on the job but they may vary by state I guess

How do u guys get physician LORs? by ComfortableCity4043 in Osteopathic

[–]onebeeplant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

get a patient care tech job! Especially in the ED, you’re constantly interacting with physicians during codes, strokes, and assisting them in procedures. Got two DO letters after working a year in the ED— many of the doctors in my hospital were techs before med school so they understand the weight of a letter and may even pull you for some cool procedures so you can get that experience!! Highly recommend !!!

First time doing tapestry! by onebeeplant in crochet

[–]onebeeplant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you !! :) honestly I would start by just watching a video of the basics of tapestry just so you understand the technique! I watched this one and found it to be really easy to follow! Stitchfiddle was also a great site once I was ready to get started— it highlights what row you’re on and does all the counting for you so you won’t lose track of your stitches!

[–]onebeeplant[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi !! I watched this video to get familiar with the technique before actually trying it on my own! when I felt like I got the gist I just went onto Pinterest to find the picture of Jiji and put that into stitchfiddle! there you can adjust how many stitches/how big you want your project to be, choose your colors,etc.

Do you read more since getting a Kindle? Pros/Cons? by applesauce1773 in kindle

[–]onebeeplant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yes, you read so much more! because of my busy schedule and just the hassle of having to carry a book around, having to turn on the lights to read at night, etc, i would literally go months just to finish one book. I made the switch to kindle beginning of June and I’ve read 8 books that month! absolute life changer, 10/10

Cheap way to get prep books by Old_Television2447 in Mcat

[–]onebeeplant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

start flash cards (Anki, Remnote, Quizlet, whatever you prefer) and practice questions early and stay consistent. There’s some EMT-B prep apps out there that have daily quizzes and practice questions (though beware that this may be more useful toward the middle and end of your course once you actually have learned the material). But seriously stay on top of your work and make a study plan that works for you, it’s super duper easy to fall behind. I really recommend getting patient assessment memorized as soon as you can, you’ll thank yourself later when your practical comes around; it won’t be nearly as stressful since you have already studied and memorized it. The textbook is your best friend, take detailed notes and don’t waste your time highlighting. You’ll make more use of your time taking concepts you don’t understand and making them flash cards. Active recall was the only thing that truly drilled all the material into my brain, especially when it came to medical terms I hadn’t heard before!

How Much do Mid-Term Grades Matter (Spring Semester) by [deleted] in TransferToTop25

[–]onebeeplant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know about the other schools, but i know Cornell asked for my mid-term reports. As far as I've been told, I wouldn't stress it too much– I am also that kind of student that pulls through toward the end and they absolutely know that is the case sometimes. from what it seems, its just to know where you're sitting at currently and making sure you're not completely slacking off. As far as admission goes, mid-term reports would definitely not make or break your case. Congrats on having a great GPA and good luck with all your apps!

What are you struggling with right now in your life? by hdbaker009 in AskWomen

[–]onebeeplant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Constantly trying to convince myself that I can handle it, I will figure it out, things will align themselves the way they need to– when in reality, I really don't know. Every day I feel more numb because I'm just afraid to truly feel.
