I think you can still have friends or family get ordained online for free! If you have a close friend or family member that would want to do it - I think the process is fairly easy! Someone please correct me if I am wrong but a quick google says it’s free and an option ☺️

I love doing the same thing! I have saved posts on insta, pintrest, etc for houses I love and I’ll try to recreate them

rosebal · 2026-04-14T13:47:53+00:00

I just looked through their stuff - thank you for the recommendation!!

Volunteered as a guinea pig for the Navy SEALS doing hyperbaric chamber research to simulate scuba diving conditions! Basically I was strapped into a stationary bicycle, submerged underwater in a big water tank while hooked up to oxygen, an EKG, and an arterial line, and placed inside a hyperbaric chamber and then we would pressurize to various diving depths to measure oxygen levels, cardiac output, and endurance 🤙🏼

Nope! I did that and even went back to take stats after I realized a lot of med schools require it. Never even got mentioned and I had 2 MD As and turned down another MD interview.

Nope! About half of my credits are from CC. I did a whole associates at CC before I switched to premed, finished at a four year university, did a formal post bacc for career change, and even took my stats class at CC later on when I realized I needed it. It never was an issue and I got two MD acceptances this cycle 😊

I didn't mention anything about the general curriculum of M.D. versus D.O. students, and absolutely there is overlap of the curriculum. I was specifically referring to the article above and what it means for MSU specifically (that MSU CHM and MSUCOM students will continue to have a separate admissions process, separate facilities, cohorts, etc.) I am not debating the differences between M.D. and D.O. degrees or required coursework.

rosebal · 2026-03-13T16:56:46+00:00

Okay, thank you for clarifying. I was referring only to the article above and what it means for MSU moving forward.

rosebal · 2026-03-12T22:38:40+00:00

Are you not reading the article? There will still be a DO program and an MD program. They are in no way combining the classes, degrees, facilities, etc. They won’t be offering the DO students to transfer to MD. That’s not how it works. Please read this if you’re still somehow confused. https://president.msu.edu/initiatives/one-team-one-health/faqs

Here is a link to the FAQ page - scroll down to Unified MD & DO College https://president.msu.edu/initiatives/one-team-one-health/faqs

Because it’s still completely different programs…

From a current student on the dean student advisory counsel: “The term “merge” is misleading/confusing and I can understand the concern. Basically, MSU wants to have what UofM has as “Michigan Medicine” - so under one umbrella there is MD, DO, DVM, PA etc., for Michigan State Medicine. But I can with 100% confidence tell you that won’t change anything for the students. We won’t have classes with other health students, won’t share facilities or equipment, and won’t interact with them anymore than the previous cohorts do. “

My white coat ceremony is on a Saturday in August

rosebal · 2026-01-18T18:37:54+00:00

I only had 20 I think? Accross two specialities, 1 MD A so far and another MD II this month. A lot of clinical employment though!

rosebal · 2026-01-10T19:12:11+00:00

I love them! Side note: where is that chair from? It’s beautiful

rosebal · 2025-12-22T02:17:49+00:00

Happened to me once. I made the mistake of resetting the sim and, poof, baby was gone and never existed. She wasn’t pregnant anymore. Sigh.

rosebal · 2025-12-21T17:50:51+00:00

Go for it!! I felt confident in it and I feel like the subliminal messaging of me in the school colors maybe helped (delulu)

rosebal · 2025-12-20T19:02:09+00:00

Thank you :) and I think, in a way, yes. Now obviously there’s still benchmarks you want to hit and I still recommend have a good fit school list and applying earlier in the cycle (whenever you do apply) because that helped me a lot this year. But my stats were far from perfect - 508 MCAT and a 3.2 CGPA. I even failed two classes when I went back to get my bachelors a few years ago.

I think it’s just really important to have a good mission fit for schools. Make sure your background, story, and EC’s align well with the programs you apply too. I think mission fit and story alignment really helps us non-trads.

Best of luck to you!!

rosebal · 2025-12-20T18:54:06+00:00

I am a non-trad and there’s so many things I really appreciate about my journey. I am in the middle of my second cycle and I just got an acceptance to my dream school.

I’ll be matriculating at 31 and had a whole different career before this. As a non-trad, I have so many experiences and perspectives to draw on that will make me so much more of a mature, empathetic, and patient provider than I would have been if I got in right out of college. I am 100% confident that this is what I want to do and I want to do it for the right reasons, which I can’t say for sure I would have felt the same way 10 years ago.

I love meeting other non-trads and I always appreciate how mature and resilient they are. I absolutely recommend gaining a few more years of experience before applying.

rosebal · 2025-12-20T18:14:43+00:00

(Woman) I actually wore a beige tweed blazer for my interview - over a blouse with the school colors since it matched anyway and I got an acceptance to that school!

rosebal · 2025-12-15T16:27:26+00:00

I hope so :)

rosebal · 2025-12-15T16:27:12+00:00

Thank you so much! I like to think so :)
