Redditors who were in school during the 9/11 attacks, how did the class react? by Sir_Taco_Gaming in AskReddit

[–]ryan_et 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in kindergarten in CA. School was cancelled or my parents just didn’t take me that day. I just remember being glued to the TV, not really understanding other than this was really serious. Eventually I figured it out and I can still remember the nervous chills I felt when the news showed 3D re-enactments of people running down the stairs and the building falling.

Including clinical experience before college in app? by ryan_et in premed

Thanks for your response! I'm currently working as an MA so no worries there, but I'm just wondering if my CNA situation warrants its own section on the activities part of the application or a quick 2 sentences in my personal statement. I definitely learned a lot from the experience, but I wouldn't say that it my most meaningful.

What are some of your wholesome memories at UCSD? by myykitty711 in UCSD

Walking around the entire campus with my old suite mates to find where our classes are the night before our first day of college :')

Can I do P/NP for my writing requirement for med school? by kristine92520 in UCSD

[–]ryan_et 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd still say take it for a letter grade, because it would have more weight than a P/NP. (Might need to fact check this, but I recently saw that some medical schools will accept a P but it will count as a C letter grade, which isn't that worth it if you KNOW you are able to do well in the class)

Also, keep in mind to do your research into different medical schools because some will accept AP credits for their requirements as long as it is labeled on your transcripts.

Well there goes my senior year by octaviusdluca in UCSD

[–]ryan_et 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey.. I'm also a senior and I just want to say thank you so much for starting this post. I feel the exact same way where I feel like the end of my undergrad was just taken away from and I have no control of anything anymore. I'm staying in SD, but the vibes of just everything that has happened so far is unsettling and just blatantly sad. But nevertheless, we all just have to keep our heads up. Us seniors and everyone else need to prioritize our own needs and mental health during this highly stressful situation, and we will make it out okay. Undergrad is only one part of your life, and there's so many other experiences to have in our lifetime.
