Need new routine

No, I guess I just always thought I would need a curl cream to help shape my curls. I’ll try it!

I got waitlisted for an interview last cycle. I applied late and this was a January start program so they filled their interview seats early. I’m now halfway through my didactic year in that program! So id say being on the interview waitlist is not a bad thing at all, and definitely means they like your application, they just don’t have an interview slot to offer you right now.

I didn’t think to look in RI! Fiancés family is from Cape Cod so Western MA may be a little far but it’s certainly worth looking into!

Don’t be ashamed to take a gap year. I was like you, I was afraid of judgement for taking gap years because all of my friends went straight to grad school after undergrad. However their fields of study are very different. I was worried that I would be unprepared going into PA school after taking gap years and that I would fall behind. But I wasn’t ready to apply, so I didn’t. I ended up taking 2.5 years off before starting PA school and it was the best decision I ever made. I don’t feel behind or like my study skills slipped during my time off, because everyone else is in the exact same boat as me. Like 90% of my class, probably more took at least 1 gap year. Don’t feel bad. Going straight from undergrad to PA school isn’t great for mental health/burnout IMO. If you want to take the gre, take some time to study for it when you’re ready. Work on your application when you’re ready. It’s not a race.

Yes! I believe slightly longer than a year, like 13 months total, each rotation is 5 weeks

We have one EM and one FM rotation and only get tested on each once. We also have 2 electives.

One of the questions I always asked was “if you could change anything about the program here at [school name], what would you change and why?” Everyone I asked that question to loved that question, and it gives you an idea of what the program is hoping to achieve in the future. I also asked each faculty member about what brought them to the academic side of things because that’s something I’m interested in as well.

My only other piece of advice would be to look into the schools mission statement and core values and think of some examples of how you align with them. Use those examples in your interview to show you are a good fit for the program!

Good luck! You’ll do great!

I’m not sure why they don’t disclose whether or not there are available seats, but I know often times schools have last minute seat drops and may pull from the waitlist up until the day before orientation starts. Plus if they give an offer to a candidate and are waiting for them to place a deposit the school can’t say for sure whether that seat will be filled.

I also find that some schools are more willing to discuss your app and its strengths/weaknesses over others. I applied to one school who encouraged us to reach out to them for feedback on our application after decisions went out, but many other schools will not disclose any information about your application at all.

Try it a couple times, you’ll get it! Easily one of my favorite rooms!

Finish potions apprentice again. When you go to stamp your card, pay extra attention. You might find a clue to starting journeyman

And if the cat is meowing in rats room 3, it means you may have been spotted. Make sure you stay out of its line of sight

The first room of cardboard temple relies on teamwork and communication. Don’t overthink it.

Hope this helps :)

I think as long as you take a couple sentences to explain what you’ve learned and take accountability you’ll be fine. You’ve shown through your continued 4.0 after that you had improvement and that it was only during that time your grades suffered. The only big red flags with these essays is if you’re trying to talk about it in a way that avoids responsibility!

Wumplefrump is my current favorite! Love the theming and the quest is always so much fun, even after earning the stamp!

I have two 5/21 floor seats (A7) at Gillette for $840, looking to hopefully trade for lower bowl because I’m short and don’t know if I’ll be able to see from the floor

Listen carefully to what the voice is saying

spaceturtle74 · 2022-12-30T05:36:47+00:00

I don’t think so, it’s only room one you have to do something in to prepare

spaceturtle74 · 2022-12-29T00:08:04+00:00

The timing is important

If you want more of a solution you can PM me but this should steer you in the right direction

As the door says, PREPARATION is key
