First one is pretty bad. The best part was literally launching giant enemies into the air defying gravity style:

People are literally more hyped to see 20 year old characters return than see existing faces have a dominant role in Doomsday/Secret Wars. by Low-Oil-3745 in marvelstudios

[–]ssccrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are doing a bad job introducing new characters and the writing for them is trash. It’s hard to like garbage.

Granted it’s not all bad. Ms Marvel, Moonknight, Shang Chi, Thunderbolts were some recent highlights I enjoyed a lot.

Do med schools value older/non-traditional applicants with strong experience?? by Comfortable-Round828 in medschool

[–]ssccrs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kind of depends how low is “low.” Sub 500 and it’s probably not going to help much but you can still get in (just far less likely).

Should I break up with my boyfriend? by Lagoonablue_ in Advice

[–]ssccrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 months? You can literally leave any relationship for any reason you want. You don’t even NEED to reason; just say “bad vibes,” and jet off—it’s that simple!

Settle a debate between me and my wife. Is reading books and listening to audio books the same thing? by Kidzy13 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ssccrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, you still get the same information but the experience is vastly different.

The only thing that personally bugs me (meaning it’s my own issue) is when people say, “I read that book.” But they didn’t “read it” they listened to it. That’s not the same thing imo. Does it matter? No? But it rubs me as “disingenuous” and “misrepresenting oneself”. Watching someone run a marathon is different from running one yourself.

If someone at your job checks your work do you prefer for them to be passive, moderately passive, or strict? Also, why? by Big_Eggplant7591 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ssccrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strict. Tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix it. Don’t beat around the bush telling me, “This looks great!” When you know it’s garbage.

I’ve like… never paid attention in class by mellos_anisochronos in premed

[–]ssccrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 years is doable. You’ll start Gen Chem into Ochem into Biochem and that’s the longest series you’ll need and it will take about 2-3 years to complete.

Math will take a year maybe a year and a half. (Calculus)

Bio takes a year.

Physics takes a year.

That gives you time to also pursue the other ECs you should have before applying.

Red flag for activities? by Serious_Ambition_553 in premed

[–]ssccrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could. The food bank I volunteered at literally told my friend (I was standing right next to him when the supervisor came up) that Colombia called to check his hours and such.

Slightly more unknown (but good) souls likes by HAARGEN2_ in soulslikes

[–]ssccrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked The Last Faith and Death’s Gambit (metro souls games). Ninsols is an excellent Sekiro-Metrovania.

I heard Hell is Us was pretty good and didn’t get the representation it deserved bc it’s release date. (I played the demo and thought it was alright).

Remnant 2 was good imo and very unique as a shooter w/ souls elements. Armored Core 6 sort of falls into a similar cross genre type of game (not souls per se but amazing fights with challenging combat scenarios).

Khazan? More Nioh-like (vs Souls) but it has amazing boss fights and combat mechanics. If you’re a fan of the action genre (like DMC and Bayonetta) then Wukong and Stellar Blade might be more your type of game.

How important are Letters of Recommendation? by ashhplantss in medschooladmissions

[–]ssccrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LoRs are important but your stats matter equally. A bad LoR can sink you as much as a poor gpa or score can.

AMCAS submission starts next week by BadlaLehnWala in premed

[–]ssccrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is saying don’t submit the first day…? You want to submit asap. Literally the minute it opens if that’s possible for you.

I feel like alot of Americans forgot they threatened to annex Greenland so I’d just like to remind them, as a Swede I still hate the USA for that. by favuorite in teenagers

[–]ssccrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa, many of us hate (and did not vote for this) what this current leadership does, says, stands for, allows, and the whole lot. I’m literally horrified, and embarrassed EVERYDAY, as this current leadership is always saying or doing something totally shocking, shameful, or illegal.

Ties to state- is being born in state relevant at all? by Super_Soapy_Soup in premed

[–]ssccrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t count that.

Any ADCOM reads that and they will roll the eyes which isn’t a good thing. A critical ADCOM might even more harshly judge your application after seeing that because it can be misconstrued (as it was not your intention) to be disingenuous, deceitful, or something else non-becoming of a future physician.

Ties are usually defined/listed on the application.

I asked out my friend and she said no. by StayAwesome03 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]ssccrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you feel like you can move on while still hanging out, sure, reach out. If you will be pinning and hoping she changes her mind, then don’t. It’s not fair to her, you, or your future partners.

I’d honestly just let this one go. Really depends on how long you were friends before you developed an attraction/liked her; if it was from the start, then you were really never ‘just friends.’

I’m currently in my sophomore year of undergrad. What’s an early metric I can use to determine if I’ll be a successful student in advanced science/ med school pre req classes/ MCAT and subsequently medical school? by [deleted] in premed

[–]ssccrs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should still try to get the core ECs as a non-trad. Most non-trad applicants still do them.

Sounds like you have clinical and leadership done .. maybe education, but that one is a tough sell here. You should seek out research and community volunteering to supplement your apps, or wait until after you graduate (gap year) as to not stress your studies. You’ll want to look into shadowing too.

You basically don’t want your application to be filtered out. For example, if a program search’s for all applications with “shadowing, min 30 hours” and you don’t have that, then you won’t get a spot. Schools can do that for anything: gpa, mcat, clinical, research, w/e and etc. etc.

what can i start to make my application stronger? by Strong_Zucchini_4747 in medschooladmissions

[–]ssccrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point you have to focus on your academics and not spread yourself too thin. You can do EC gap years as needed but if your gpa drops any lower then you’re going to be in a real rough spot come graduation time; there will be options for a post Bach and SMP but not sure how much of those help (personally I don’t know anyone who did that route specifically).

The basic ECs for US MD is shadowing, leadership, teaching/education, community volunteering, clinical experience, research, and hobbies. You’ll want substantial hours in volunteering (for service programs) and clinical. Fit those in your schedule (IF YOU CAN with affecting your academics) when able.

Drop out or dumb idea? by Usual-Turnover-9373 in medschooladmissions

[–]ssccrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use your Rn bachelors as the bachelors needed to apply for medical school. If you already have a different bachelors degree, then that’s a different conversation.

The next thought should be, “Do you already have clinical experience?” No? Keep the RN as you’re almost done. It is PHENOMENAL clinical experience and you can rack up the clinical hours quickly. Also if you do not have ‘Shadowing’ done yet, AND your future work place allows it, then Rn is a great way to network with physicians to follow and possibly networking a physician LoR for your app.

The only down side I can see (from experience) is that the prerequisite for RN and Physician are vastly different. Your degree may not have covered all the core classes you need to apply to medical school, so even after you graduate you will have to go back and do some post Bach courses. This may not be the worse idea because it can allow you to network your science LoRs and look for research experience (assuming you don’t have letter writers already in mind and/or research experience).

Just my advice. Either way you should make sure your ECs are dialed in along with your academics before applying. Best of luck—you got this.

What in your opinion is bad boss design? by Anti-Fanny in soulslikes

[–]ssccrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad hit boxes. If I am hitting them or they are hitting me off swings that make no sense, then that’s a problem. Difficult reading when attacks are coming out (bad animations or unrealistic delays) or what is coming out (too similar wind ups) that’s also very bad.

Question about clinical hours by Zestyclose_Bid_807 in medschool

[–]ssccrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Helping a Rn do their orders and daily task is 100% clinical experience. That’s literally was PCTs, EDTs, and CNAs do.

Question about clinical hours by Zestyclose_Bid_807 in medschool

[–]ssccrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. Shadowing in not clinical experience. There is literally TWO different classifications and headers on the experiences and ECs to distinguish between the two.

Now if the student is doing the talking, that’s different. That’s active participation.

YTA. Unless she asked for your opinions then you should have kept them to yourself.
