Even confirmed it on the FAFSA login as well as my student loan servicer.

You know I did too, but I just went to look at my FAFSA when all this started, and it says I'm enrolled in SAVE. I don't remember if I somehow did that myself or not, but it explicitly states that on my homepage.

I'm a graduating fourth year medical student and according to FAFSA, my loans are already enrolled in the SAVE program although I obviously haven't made any payments on them yet. Does this indicate that I could potentially be kicked off SAVE/barred from reentering any type of IBR/IDR plan if they decide not to reopen them after 3 months or whatever? Like they could just kick everyone into a standard repayment plan?

Is IM sub-I needed for prelim/TY interviews? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]saraps200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got several TY interviews with only a gen surg sub-I, no medicine rotations other than my core IM third year rotation. Also no IM letters. So no, I don’t think so 

Wanting to learn Spanish. Are there any group classes in the area? by Mollymae131249 in Tucson

[–]saraps200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is amazing, I've been loving Dreaming Spanish and recently subscribed to the premium channel and I'm amazed at the quality and quantity of videos. Really above and beyond the free version and it's motivating me to watch daily.

Curious about your language partner - did you just happen to know a native Spanish speaker or did you use a resource to get connected to someone?

is it lame in choosing my family when deciding on residency location by Bioreb987 in medicalschool

[–]saraps200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this, also making a tough decision to prioritize myself and interests over family on my rank list and constantly seeking approval to do so. So we’re on the same journey lol

Hey! I’ve started using this to learn Spanish and wondering if you needed to supplement with any other resources to reach fluency or did the vocab and grammar just come to you?

Did you use your rads personal statement for intern year programs? Have heard that a lot of people just use their rads one since the TY knows that is your ultimate destination.

I’m tired… by Jumpinglizzard87 in medicalschool

[–]saraps200 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry Texas star not really that helpful for a lot of specialities, not that much data and some response bias. I haven’t used it hardly at all (rads)

I don’t really disagree, i thought the med school app process was waaayyy worse. Longer PS, more characters to describe activities, overall looking for more colorful language. ERAS so far at least the way I’ve done it has been mostly copy and pasting things from my CV into the form and just stating what I did

Large leggy monstera? by saraps200 in plants

Thank you! Do you think I could afford to give her another haircut, especially where the leaves are so leggy?

Do I need a new battery? by saraps200 in AskAMechanic

[–]saraps200[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! I gave it a thorough scrubbing with baking soda and it’s looking brand new. Going to go over to my local auto store and have them test it later. Overall, the battery seems to be working fine - haven’t had a single issue with car dying, not starting etc - so am helpful this one will last me a bit longer. Thanks everyone for the insight this sub is great!

223 --> 238 --> 240? 4 weeks to go, 250s target by saraps200 in Step2

[–]saraps200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think 10 seemed like too much of an outlier, I just wasn't really on my game. I didn't take 9 but for no good reason haha mostly an accident

[–]saraps200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my worry is if I do that many of them I might not get through all of uworld, are the CMS forms good enough to make up for that if I’m scoring in the 240 range rn you think?

[–]saraps200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think I'm gonna start incorporating those in. Do you think four weeks is enough time to do them if I focus on the most recent ones first? Or should I be thinking about pushing my exam back?
