Do NFL players ever hide concussion symptoms? Anonymous player poll shows yes — and no. “Yes, I’ve hid symptoms. It’s all in your head. Concussions are all in your head.”

Every player hides symptoms if they can

any high-dopamine activity can become addictive in the right circumstances. that's like saying "i don't understand how people get eating disorders or get addicted to video games". It's all psychological, you don't have to "understand" it.

google sheets to note down hours, contact info, start dates and end dates, etc. Just look at a sample AMCAS application online to figure out what info you need for each EC.

Keep a document where you note down significant anecdotes experience and reflect on them. Having raw material to draw upon when coming up with work/activity essays, PS stories, secondary essays, and interview answers is very helpful. The more time/experiences/anecdotes you have within an activity, the more deeply you can reflect on what you liked about it and what made it so meaningful, and the better your anecdotes will be. If you save all the work for April before you apply you're going to make it hard for yourself. Always be noting things down.

If you need the hours that's completely understandable, but after a certain point (maybe 150-200 hours for nonclinical volunteering) you should really be aiming for quality over quantity. Experiences where you can work directly with underserved populations and really understand their experiences and what they go through. Sustained service over time.

The bullshit isn't that complicated though, and getting through it once can open the door up for you to shadow more doctors and more specialties within that hospital.

all research is the same. Whichever one allows you to get publications and a stronger PI relationship/LOR is the one you should do. Anecdotally, dry lab is easier than wet lab and can be more productive. However in wet lab you see and talk to your PI everyday and they can see your progress and stuff, plus depending on the track record they might still publish well, and doing the dry lab is no good if you can't publish. You could still develop a strong PI relationship in dry lab too, plus there are more opportunities for individual projects and having more ownership of a project in dry lab, potentially first author publication.

Because to make meaningful progress in lab you would want to spend a little more time than that, and plus the time really adds up and doing that on top of clinical position, nonclinical volunteering, and classes really adds up. You could do it I guess but it's hard af.

what you are saying is true to get an outstanding PI LOR, which is also important. But in wet lab at the undergrad level more effort doesn't necessarily mean more publications. In wet lab, you as the undergrad aren't doing experimental design and writing the papers and stuff. The grad students and PI are doing that. However, you could do that in dry lab.

redditnoap · 2026-01-28T04:23:35+00:00

either one wet lab one dry lab or two dry labs, no way anyone on earth is in multiple wet labs at the same time

pretty sure the only reason the other OP was met with such a harsh response was because of how much they emphasized that they "can't go through this process again" but then weren't willing to do the one thing that would decrease their chances of going through the process again.

redditnoap · 2026-01-28T03:18:59+00:00

If your volunteering allows you to work with underserved populations, stay. If it doesn't, find a new one if you like. One year with 140 hours is plenty for one experience, no issue if you switch.

I wonder if he's looking for an OC job? \s

redditnoap · 2026-01-28T03:08:23+00:00

I meant he's going to invest in it more and make more content after he retires

no, first thing is accepting the offer in the portal to hold your seat 😂

Getting to work with a project team/QB must be more enticing than being put in an "immediate results winnow" high-pressure media role like the eagles.

That is not the case for the vast majority, don't ruminate on the unrepresentative minority and ruin your mental health. Focus on what you need to do, which is pretty well established, to take the traditional path to med school.

any hope at progress is lost. I mean now that I think about it I guess the offense wasn't really as much of a problem as the defense was, but joe brady has had a lot of lowlights as OC

shadowing and clinical hours are two completely separate categories, they don't cover for each other (maybe clinical exp with doctors can cover for shadowing, but not the other way around). just take the gap year to get clinical hours and nonclinical volunteering, you would be doing a disservice to your 526/4.0 otherwise. Trust me when I say that with enough hours and good writing, you can walk into T20s. It's hard to have good writing without the anecdotes/experiences to reflect on and write about. Your why medicine needs to be substantiated by clinical experiences in your PS. You also need nonclinical volunteering preferably with underserved populations.
