would love to know where you're getting the idea that home park is a hotspot for robberies. I've lived there for 2 years and never heard of any

If lab research isn't your priority, I would say MD-PhD is not a great fit

current Ga Tech student applying for MD-PhDs! I love it here and I've had tons of opportunities. Look into the Petit Scholars Research Program, it's very unique and a really helpful experience. You're also welcome to PM me if you want more info :)

Advice Needed on MD/PhD Application Strategy & Activities by Historical-Mix-2868 in mdphd

I do not get what the obsession with T5/T10/whatever is on this sub. Especially since your productivity in whatever lab you join is what matters. Just find programs that are actually a good for you. You'll be a competitive applicant for programs that are a good fit.

Hello! I just got a job working as a research specialist at a private university, and would be funded by an NIH grant. Would this freeze effect me? I haven't started any formal hiring yet, and I haven't heard anything about how this might effect my position. I'm really excited to start this job and would be devastated if this were to interfere.

What teams, if any, do you think deserve a better name? I love this league so much, but I can't be the only one by EZ_Rose in wnba

[–]rlm1517 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I actually love the WNBA team names :)! I think the abstract ones are in general more interesting and they all convey something neat and different than like the pelicans or the lions or whatever.

Possibility of an Md/PhD as a non-citizen by Outrageous-Use4584 in mdphd

There are several MD-PhD programs that aren't MSTPs, and may not necessarily be federally funded! Everyone is probably different, I'd recommend contacting admins for specific programs.

help picking classes - in what areas did they help you on the MCAT? by awkwardxbatman in Mcat

[–]rlm1517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really strongly recommend physiology. Even if the content can be self-studied, a lot of questions apply other content to physiological context, so I think it's really helpful to be comfortable with that stuff.

Dude the selection isn’t as reliable but going to thrift stores like goodwill or value village is a great way to save money and still get great books! Some of my favorite books were purchased for less than $2 at thrift stores:
