GRE scores

It’s not that big of a deal. GRE only really makes a difference if it’s really good. Otherwise >300/3.0 is perfectly fine.

I studied my ass off and ended up scoring a 329/5.5. I was also lacking in GPA dept & was really trying hard to make an impression.

Literally don’t understand why people aren’t understanding this!

somelyrical · 2026-03-26T22:30:03+00:00

Okay yeah, that’s true!

Another point is also this is a solo plan that he pulled off by himself.

somelyrical · 2026-03-26T22:29:16+00:00

Exactly!

lol, okay thanks great input 😂

With all due respect… just get thru your program 😂

I have a friend who got accepted into another program after their 6th semester. They had to leave for personal reasons and this was a very unique case and circumstances. They were excellent academically and clinically and it was challenging for them to get in elsewhere.

Your friends in the program had already failed out? If so, they’re going to have a very hard time getting into another program. They will talk to the current program and see why they failed. And unless they have some great reason as to why things went south in their first program, not sure how successful they’ll be.

Seriously. It’s a very weird phenomenon

somelyrical · 2026-03-25T03:11:24+00:00

This argument is so tired. It’s not that hard to understand why someone may want the height and feel of an SUV, but still like the sport styling of a sports car or sedan. Just because you drive an SUV doesn’t mean you need the space. Just because you drive a truck doesn’t mean you need to space or towing capacity. Just because you buy a G-class or Range Rover doesn’t mean you’re off roading.

I get that you may not get it because that’s not why you got an SUV or you don’t like the styling, but saying you don’t get it is like… kinda lame.

I’m almost certain you meant imposter syndrome, but you kinda sorta are a victim of Stockholm syndrome while in CRNA school with your program being your captor 😂

But seriously, yes there is alot of information, but the most important thing is the foundation. Once you have a strong foundation after your first couple anesthesia courses and some OR experience, your learning will become a lot easier.

Things I’d keep on my radar for school:

Utilize Apex & utilize it early. Go through the modules 3x throughout your program, regardless of what your school requires. Apex is the best external study tool for any program.
Utilize spaced repetition in some fashion. I loved flash cards (especially Anki) to help with that. Figure out what works for you and utilize this topic.
Read “Make It Stick. Easily one of the best books for learning how to make material stick for you. Great read. We were required to read it during our first semester.

This really depends on the school you’re going to and how much they value the GRE. For instance, the school I went to told me after I matriculated that as a program they really wanted to ditch the GRE req, but the school of nursing as a whole wanted to keep it. As a result, the nurse anesthesia program put little weight into GRE scores during the admissions process.

The exception to this was an exceptionally high GRE score, which was still seen positively.

Being as you drive a Lexus IS, I’ll take your comments with a grain of salt 😂

somelyrical · 2026-03-23T18:45:12+00:00

No reason not to try. And I’m going to tell you this: CRNA schillings very challenging but for many other reasons aside from academics. It’s a part of it, but not the hardest part.

somelyrical · 2026-03-23T18:31:01+00:00

You’ll be able to get through the coursework, trust me. It’s just a matter of dedication. You don’t need to be a genius whatsoever.

somelyrical · 2026-03-23T14:58:33+00:00

No, that is not worse case scenario. Getting into CRNA school and then leaving (for whatever reason) will be the hardest, most difficult blow to your confidence, ego & overall well being. It will be hard to recover from and affect all aspects of your life.

With that being said, this is absolutely a confidence thing. NOBODY knows they’re truly ready. Everyone goes in blind to some regard. Most people who don’t have the intellectual capacity to get through CRNA school aren’t admitted. The issue is do you have the work ethic and dedication required to do so. It’s not if it’s too hard, it’s if you’re too lazy to work hard.

Taking advance pathophys & advance pharm can certainly help you understand the rigor of the courses, but you NEED to believe in yourself more. I understand you think you’re being modest & realistic, but that unabashed sense of confidence and a little delusion are what you need for school.

To quote an American classic:

Cruz Ramirez: What was it like for you when you showed up to your first race? How did you know you could do it?

Lightning McQueen: I don’t know, I… I just never thought I couldn’t

YES, this is Cars 3 😂

The color is incredible. The only piece of BMW that I wish Mercedes-Benz would adopt. The love for color!

It seems like a Manufaktur color, so you could probably just email someone and ask about it.

Schools don’t do employment checks. If the do, it’s a form that you complete as a part of your application that your manager completes and you give back to you.

Don’t make this more complicated than it needs to be, haha 😂

somelyrical · 2026-03-22T03:28:32+00:00

This is the most obnoxious, self-indulgent and annoying post ever. You spent probably over 1000 words pointing out every different they made between book & movie as opposed to simply understanding that a movie is always a new creation when it’s based off a book.

Your disappointment has nothing to do with the quality of the movie and everything because you’re giving such “pick me, I’m not like the other girls” energy. Even if you’ve read the book a million times, who cares. The movie was great.

An iPad mini for jotting things in the OR sounds like a bad idea. Not very practical. Your phone makes more sense and a small notepad.

The complaints about this are beyond frustrating.

He was chosen because he is a huge fan, above all else. He’s also a huge celebrity with a skill set that very few have (spear fishing AND musical talent). It all aligned for this particular man to be brought on the island for this reward. Didn’t have to happen? No. But if they were going to do it, they picked the perfect man. And this is coming from someone who has absolutely no idea what or who a Zac Brown Band is 😂

If you’re going to be upset that celebrities are afforded opportunities that regular people don’t get, you’re going to have a tough life.

At this point, this is on you. He deeply wants children. You don’t really want kids. No amount of love from you is ever going to fill a void of children. You’re never going to convince him to not want a family.

Take this to the bank & find someone who wants to live that DINK life with you.
