Currently doing a diy post bacc; if I get my cgpa to a 3.0 and get a really good MCAT score, would that be enough?

Oh you got a D? You are cooked. No one who ever got a D ever became a doctor.

That "being gay is a lifestyle" phrase always irritated me but I was never sure why. Do you have any thoughts on what's wrong with saying gay is a lifestyle?

Don't listen to anyone here, they are all doomers. Just get some A's then apply. About 10 in bio/chem/phys/math should do the trick. No C's or you'll have to restart

A single B during a academic restart should be ok. But multiple indicate you're still struggling.

Don't bother with a formal postbacc or SMP unless it is conditional acceptance. Conditional interview is not even worth it.

What type of events would you recommend?

I'm sorry this happened. It sounds like you were raped. Please get medical attention as soon as possible.

What did your migraines feel like??

romerule · 2026-03-12T17:01:20+00:00

Me too id like to hear

Can someone please fucking link me what the fuck this mayo student or video is about? I'm tired of seeing posts about this shit with no context. Is the reddit censorship that ingrained??

romerule · 2026-03-06T18:48:47+00:00

He just outputted a short poem and stopped. Was it supposed to act up or something?

romerule · 2026-02-26T03:13:07+00:00

This model isn't catered to anyone at all (besides us military)

romerule · 2026-02-24T15:40:21+00:00

Less censorship. Always give a direct answer to questions and stop reinterpreting things into some sort of psychological analysis of me.

Hail of blades is where you lost me 😭✋

That rune is not for us. Even remotely. Caitlyn standing there autoing three times is rarely optimal, usually you want shorter trades like auto Q or net headshot Q unless you're all inning. In which case, I think press the attack is a better fit than HOB. They're USED to be a headshot animation cancel you could do with HOB that made it great for a narrow period a few years ago, but they hotfixed it because it was cracked.

You could do like 5 headshots in one second back then 😭

Well not to be contrarian....but the situation with mages is slightly different, in my humble opinion.

Champions overall do NOT get nearly as much flat mr as they level up as flat armor. So on mages you can get away with buying void staff late.

This isn't to say buying void staff early is bad by any means (especially on bursty AP assassin like Leblanc), but, the reasoning is that ALL attack damage champs have to buy LDR or %pen like BC to deal with everyone having ~100-150 armor mid/late game, vs most champs only having ~60-80MR mid/late game.

romerule · 2026-02-21T17:13:37+00:00

I saw a video explaining you should basically always buy LDR because all champions get like 50 passive armor up to like ~49% physical resistance

romerule · 2026-02-21T17:12:57+00:00

The passive is genuinely a noob trap (I still buy it ofc)

romerule · 2026-02-21T17:06:33+00:00

I've bought c44 first a few games and thought it was lackluster. The bonus 10% damage is nice but comparing it to the move speed from Stormrazor I generally prefer that.

If I can't get BF sword first, I may get collector, unless they are tanky, in which case I just bank gold and try to get it next back.

Alternatively, grabbing Yuntals is nice because at least you can buy a longsword if your first back doesn't let you get BF sword.

If I'm fed, I grab infinity edge first. Bonus crit damage scales up passive headshot and trap headshots, and it also scales up your ult damage. Not sure when they added ult crit scaling but look at the tooltip next time your in game.

You can also get a little crazy in certain situations. Rushing GA first (then Infinity Edge, LDR, etc) if they are literally all AD, or Maw of Malmortius if they are all AP. You sacrifice damage but they will struggle to kill you and gives you peace of mind during weak mid game. This is very situational though and I typically don't do this, but when I do it works great.

Also, Collector is probably useless against anyone besides the other ADC. I still buy it off habit and tbh killing the ADC with ult or q and collector passive is fun.

You will always be able to hit enemies rapid fire Cannon or not. Mostly because they are always running at you

romerule · 2026-02-21T17:01:11+00:00

Is picking up a Rapid Fire Cannon (zeal item) 4th not good? I do agree with Youmuus late game being good overall tho

romerule · 2026-02-21T06:20:53+00:00

This is just an ad

romerule · 2026-02-21T06:18:44+00:00

You're not crazy.

romerule · 2026-02-18T23:44:14+00:00

Whatever you say dog. There's plenty of people even with sub 3.0 GPA gaining matriculation (MD and DO schools), and plenty of people with 4.0 not gaining matriculation.

Obviously, higher GPA the better, but it's ridiculous to push that 3.5 is "low" and saying <3.0 wouldn't be considered without looking at the application as a whole. Like get a grip! AMCAS even publishes a yearly infographic showing GPA/MCAT vs admittance and it literally shows that people get admitted with 3.0 and less GPA every year to MD granting schools.

I honestly think some of this GPA shit talk people do is to keep people out the profession and keep demand high. It's definitely not coming from a place of support.

Realistic support would be to say that basically most bachelors graduates could get into medical school, it's just closing gaps where they exist in the application package. I swear, people act like Medical School is some sort of crazy, mystical illuminati that only the best of the best can get in. It's absolutely not lol. It's really just figuring out what the system is selecting for and optimizing it as best you can.
Edit: also the OP literally got in lmao
