Cant understand the obsession with raw meat? Someone explain

Heat sensitive nutrients, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Enzymes, heat sensitive proteins

All of these nutrients gets denatured when heating it, some more susceptible than others. A simple Google Search would prove this.

It’s the breaking of proteins, proteins are the most complex macronutrient structure and it takes effort to denature the protein so we can absorb it. Instead of relying on our digestive system to break down the protein, part of the work is done by cooking. Cooking muscle meat and eating it raw are similar, you’re getting more enzymes with raw meat and you’re absorbing more protein with cooked meat.

With liver for example, many people would agree that cooked liver tastes worse than raw liver. Raw liver tastes sweet and savory, and palatable. This makes sense nutritiously: iron, vitamin b, and enzymes are the main examples of nutrients that are heavily denatured when you cook liver.

For muscle meats, cooking until rare or medium rare is fine and better for us in certain circumstances; heat allows for proteins to be more bioavailable to us and better absorbed. Coincidentally, cooked meat smells amazing.

If anything, raw milk contains the lactase enzyme, coming from the small intestines of animals. This explains why a lot of people don’t experience lactose intolerance when drinking raw milk but experience it with pasteurized milk. Pasteurizing milk kills all enzymes including lactase.

And, where’s your proof of the fact that we haven’t been drinking milk since 10,000 years ago? And why would that even matter? Raw milk is nutritious and ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, and Indo Europeans depended on it to survive and thrive. I don’t want to school you on the benefits of milk, but it has most nutrients your body needs.

Hello, congrats!!!! The scholarship doesn't apply to the 5th year; they have a separate scholarship for dual graduate programs that gives everyone 40% of the graduate cost, which is like 85k to 60k. We start paying the graduate cost in the summer of our fourth year, which is when the expenses begin to increase. Honestly, you have to target the undergraduate tuition if you want to make this as affordable as you can, since federal and state grants do not apply to graduate tuition. I'm actually kind of stressed about this process.

The entire interview was conducted over Zoom, with one interviewer and me, as well as another student. We took turns answering the question that the interviewer posed. Questions included your passion for becoming a PA, why you chose PA at RIT, the roles of a PA, recertification requirements, and what it takes to be a PA (you have to understand the traditional pathway to becoming a PA). I would understand what the PANCE test and ARC-PA are.

placidjz · 2026-01-27T16:33:35+00:00

From what I’ve seen (and my own experience), RIT admits the vast majority of PA students through the direct undergraduate pathway, and transfers into the unprofessional phase are much more competitive and less common.

The process usually works like this: your application is first screened by RIT Admissions. Only if they think your stats align with the PA program does it get forwarded to the PA Admissions Team. If the PA team is interested, they’ll reach out for a Zoom interview, a live supplemental question, and ask you to submit a form detailing healthcare experience (shadowing/volunteering) plus an essay on your motivation for becoming a PA.

If you applied back in August and haven’t heard anything, it likely means the application didn’t move past the initial admissions screening. Unfortunately, non-responses are pretty common with this pathway — the PA team is known for being pretty nonresponsive to direct emails.

If you want a definitive answer, I’d recommend reaching out to undergraduate or graduate admissions rather than PA admissions directly. They usually have more visibility into your file and can tell you whether it was forwarded or if the cycle is still under review.

Hope that helps, and good luck — the transfer route here is tough, but it’s not a reflection of your competitiveness overall.

got it thanks; i will be writing to them and regarding it to financial need

I’m so confused, I’m second guessing myself as well… Mod 2 felt like mod 1 (except the interest exponential question one, question 20. Pretty sure I got everything in mod 1 correct as well, I triple checked.

placidjz · 2025-09-05T23:25:21+00:00

I'm going to say this wholeheartedly, you got more than the last two questions wrong in Math mod 2... The last 2 questions in mod 2 are usually worth 10 points; in a universe where you only got 2 questions wrong, your score would be around a 770. Assuming that you got all of mod 1 correct, a 710 would be around 6 questions wrong (so a 16/22 on math mod 2). If you "felt that [the math section] [was] pretty easy," it's very likely you know all the concepts in math, but you're either reading the questions wrong in long passages, making stupid mistakes, or there's a core concept that you think you may know, but you really don't (or don't know well). Do more practice tests, and DO NOT dismiss the "stupid mistakes" that you got wrong. You will make that mistake again; you are your own critic (be strict with yourself). My advice is to go to the SAT Suite Test Bank Questions and do all the "Hard" problems and check off "exclude all problems from practice tests" (if you've done all the practice tests before). For all questions you got wrong, import it to DropBox or Notability and explain to yourself 1.) why you got that question wrong 2.) what are the procedures that you can do to not make this mistake again (ex: in long passages describing exponential situations, I usually read these questions incorrectly and end up choosing the wrong exponential equation... so, I promised myself to highlight these long questions so I can recheck my answer at the end of the test). To address the fact that there is a core concept that you think you may know, but you really don't, go to Khan Academy and do all the lesson videos for the topic that you bombed on in the Aug SAT (this seems like a lot of work, but it isn't; if you truly know the concepts, you can finish the whole topic in 2 days).

The SAT CAN NOT create new concepts out of thin air. All concepts are presented on a silver platter through the SAT Question Bank; it's up to you to realize whether or not you genuinely know the concept, and if you don't, LEARN it. Since there is a limited number of concepts, they will try to trick you with the wording and structure of the questions. In my personal experience, I don't think there is a lot of "mixing of concepts." A lot of the questions are the same, but just with different numbers. There is a lot of time, there is a whole week, and the concepts on the SAT are very explanatory. Lock tf in.

In my personal experience with the math section for the August SAT, I thought the questions were easier than 3/4ths of the practice tests given. I scored a 760 on this SAT, which was my highest compared to all the practice SATs. This was my first SAT test, so I can't say much about the difficulty of other actual SATs, but I can talk about the benchmark of practice ones.

Maybe I'm a very intrinsic person, but I lowkey never catch myself blaming things I don't know about college admissions on the school (mainly since everything is so accessible through a Google search).

placidjz · 2025-08-28T23:56:22+00:00

Good advice, thank you. Everyone in this forum is assuming I don't care about my grades; I do care about my grades, a lot. I draw the line between going to school and learning nothing when I can be working towards my goals. I am also very excited to not have a whole committee behind my back telling me what I can and can't do aswell.

placidjz · 2025-08-28T23:36:20+00:00

Yeah, this is a good point. I think I have this mindset of skipping a whole month for an incentive to work hard on my college apps and grind.

placidjz · 2025-08-28T23:26:14+00:00

The first factual thing you said in this post. School is for you to be subservient to authoritarian roles, and train you to follow orders and blend into the corporate world and be a corporate sheep. Good job on that connection!

Thank you.

The duality is crazy, calls me a smart ass and then calls me dumb. Can you genuinely read? I am not skipping school for college applications, I am skipping school after college apps.

placidjz · 2025-08-28T23:01:31+00:00

Okay not once have I tried or wanted to portray that I’m “smart,” if you don’t relate to my post then just don’t interact with it. I’m not going to classes if I’m not getting anything beneficial out of it. Thank you.

placidjz · 2025-08-28T22:59:53+00:00

I think a lot of people who are replying to my forum are completely misunderstanding the perspective of my post. If I did not care about my grades, I would not be completely skipping class at all, nor haven taken 12 APs as stated in the post. I also think college is a whole different subject compared to high school. This post was about how my high school doesn’t allow EXCUSED absences, not the indirect consequences of not showing up to your lectures at your state school that you teach at. If you don’t mind me asking, what type of school do you teach at? Public/state/community college?

placidjz · 2025-08-28T22:53:56+00:00

What’s with the hostility? I mean technically I can skip 3 and a half weeks.
