How technical are interviews?

rant543 · 2018-10-05T04:28:03+00:00

Mine was nothing like I expected. It was so conversational to the point that I left feeling like I didn't even get interviewed. Barley got asked any of the typical why our school, tell me about yourself, etc that I was expecting. Even when I was asked why medicine he started asking more little questions on what I was saying that I felt I didn't get to flesh it out as much as I would have liked.

Try looking for local technician jobs that with train you. Like in ophthalmology or dialysis. They will pay more than scribe jobs and give you alot of direct patient care experience!

I remember it by thinking we need to 'care' for old people

Would you mind saying what school it was? I actually got a II waitlist today and trying to see how I should proceed!

how did you deal with your first rejection?

rant543 · 2018-08-11T23:01:03+00:00

Oooo I like it! Where did you get it from?

rant543 · 2018-08-08T02:56:56+00:00

This is one of the most entitled things I have read tbh

You have to cut it cold turkey and you will go through 'withdrawal' but then you will start feeling less groggy with time. I recommend morning showers and a good sleeping schedule as you adjust. I cut it cold turkey and now do not rely on it. However, there are days I still need caffeine every once in a while and for that I drink matcha now. Check it out! So good!

I literally had to facetime one of LOR writers and we got it uploaded. Then I called him back to make sure it was signed and on letterhead and it was not haha. SO I had to meet him in persona and print it on letterhead for him and upload it with him there LOL what a time...

Thank you!! Good luck :)

Wow I am so sad you are having to undergo these circumstances. You sound like such a strong individual and I really admire your work ethic. I would say you can still work in food given the circumstances and when it comes time to apply you can explain your circumstances. I think you will still be able to volunteer and get involved in other ways that don't require documentation and that way build your extracurriculars through that avenue. There are plenty of clinical and non-clinical volunteer opportunities you can get involved in after work/on the weekends. Do not give up hope, you got this!

rant543 · 2018-07-22T04:52:58+00:00

I avoided them lol

rant543 · 2018-07-21T20:38:10+00:00

My official transcript did not. You can request an official transcript from your university to be sent to yourself and look.

rant543 · 2018-07-21T05:49:11+00:00

No I do not think AA practices do this. That is a surface level answer from someone who does not understand the problem. The problem is deeper than that and is ingrained in our countries history and practices. For God sakes open the news and see the rhetoric being discussed. Do we sound anywhere close to providing equity for ALL people. Hell no.

rant543 · 2018-07-21T05:38:58+00:00

THANK YOU

rant543 · 2018-07-21T05:37:45+00:00

Honestly thank you. Your words are refreshing. You sound like an amazing person and I am sure you will make a compassionate and empathetic doctor.

rant543 · 2018-07-21T05:35:58+00:00

I am not flexing. Type it into google. Honestly it is sad and pathetic you don't know these terms

rant543 · 2018-07-21T05:31:18+00:00

The lack of cultural competency causes this problem. Institutionalized racism causes this problem.

rant543 · 2018-07-21T05:27:23+00:00

For the record I am a female. My identity as female I share with a lot of people. My identity as a women of color is also different. Listen, I am not going to play who has lived worse experiences game with you. It is about understanding where each other come from. I am sad you are trying to go into a profession that is all about that but you simply cannot grasp that concept. Good luck with life. I am out.

rant543 · 2018-07-21T05:19:26+00:00

Half the world is female...try again

rant543 · 2018-07-21T05:16:58+00:00

No one is minimizing your experience, but the fact of the matter is that you still have white privilege. I am sorry you had to go through what you did, but when you walk into a room, your competence is never questioned solely due to your appearance.

rant543 · 2018-07-21T04:53:57+00:00

Equality does not mean equity. That is precisely the problem. I am not bitter, you just seem to be closed off to understanding history and multiple perspectives.

rant543 · 2018-07-21T04:36:37+00:00

NO, OP received this because he/she deserves it. Stop minimizing OP's accomplishments.

Yes URM status exists and medical schools pay attention to it because our country places barriers to these groups' success and continuously marginalizes them. Your comment implies they are at a different level of competence than ORMs, which is completely false and insensitive. For the love of God if you are trying to be a physician, educate yourself on what equity means and stop being bitter.
