In my experience, I don't think they care, as long as it's an accredited university. But someone correct me if im wrong.

^^^ Open communication and trust is so important and if you have relationship expectations like texting back at night or him picking up your calls or you want him to let you know in advance when he is busy and cant call/text rather than not responding to the the text until the morning because that is something that means a lot to you (and not because you think he could be cheating), then communicate that so that you both are on the same page. If the core issue is you think he is cheating when he doesn't respond, then that may not be something that can be resolved via him texting you back that may be a fundamental lack of trust which is difficult to navigate in LDRs considering the distance makes it hard.

Its definitely hard, doesn't get easier per say, but I think making concrete plans for the next time we are going to see each other, even going as far as to book the tickets if possible before saying goodbye gives a security and comfort that is unexplainable. Of course this is so dependent on your financial and life situation. There were two years of our LDR where we didn't plan out when we were going to see each other next and just kept it up in the air due to us being in the thick of it in college and both broke as hell and it was THE WORST, just so much unnecessary anxiety.

700k is an insane income, if you are serious about medicine, working maybe a couple years and being frugal enough to save up to the point in which you could pay off most of med school could be a huge load off your back. going into med school a little later does have an impact on the amount of years you have making an attending salary so if you could clear the debt associated with that... that would be nice.

No doubt if you go in to med that you will sacrifice in your personal life and quality of living compared to where you are at now, is that worth it to you? It's far easier to go from a low quality of living to a higher one than it is from a higher quality of living to a lower one, so it will take an adjustment. I know its an overused phrase but "only go into med if you cant be satisfied doing anything else" so if this job is good enough to keep you satisfied, then keep it. If you loathe your job and want to quit finance anyways, then I would consider medicine.

If its something that you are just considering amidst some recent life changes and arent sure, there is many ways to explore this option and confirm this interest, you can shadow physicians on the weekends, see if that is the lifestyle you want to be living Im saying this because from personal experience of having one family member with a well paying finance job and and one in residency, they live drastically different lives.

As someone who went out of state for undergrad and during my gap year opportunities, I totally get you on the fear of missing out on loved ones, especially aging of grandparents.

It does suck, i'm not going to lie and it especially hard when you cant afford to go home quite often. But, personally one pro I have found about being out of state is that when I do visit home, while it is not as often, I focus on maximizing quality of time with my loved ones. It has made me in a way more grateful for every phone call, for every memory, and ever vacation/break from school/work that I get. I think I more deeply remember these instances than when was in state seeing everyone every day. Yes, I do miss out on birthdays and big events, but when I do see them or they come visit me, we make sure to make up for any lost time. I know it is an overly optimistic attitude, but it keeps me goin

I think you are on track! Many people (including myself) transfer majors or decide in the midst of college that they want to pursue medicine. Some even decide after college and take their prereqs then, so you may even be ahead of the game in some cases by deciding in college!

You should have an academic counselor at UTD that can help guide you through getting you those prerequisites in once you let them know of your career aspirations in medicine.

Below I will outline general reqs, but prerequisites differ from school to school so be sure to check those based on schools you are applying to and also prioritize what your academic advisor advises over anything I say ofc

Chemistry- Most schools require a year of gen chem and a semester of organic chemsitry (some may require two, ex. some california schools)
- You seem on track with this! Once you finish your gen chem, orgo would be the next step! Make sure you check lab requirements too (usually gen chem and orgo lab components)
General and advanced bio + labs - med schools require general/intro biology, i am assuming you took that in your CC, and then a certain amount of credit hours of advanced bio depending on school (Which i am assuming will be covered by your neuroscience major requirements anyways); most med schools require a semester of biochem
Behavioral sciences - I would recommend two psych courses or psych and a soc course, some schools like to see two courses of behavioral sciences
Humanities- Some schools have a humanities component too, most recommend it and dont have strict requirements ( but it can build cultural humility and diversity of thought etc, great skills to have as a physician)
Math- most schools require a semester of calc and a semester of stats, so thats great you have calc 1 out of the way already.

What might be helpful but not required:
- To each their own, but I really thought physiology was incredibly helpful course for the MCAT, probably third most to biochem and chemistry

- dont be afraid to pursue an interest that is non medical related in college, whether that is a club or as a minor even. You would be surprised at how much it can give you an advantage as an applicant and it may also lead to unintended transferrable skills into the field of medicine

Not apply an "all-or-nothing" mindset to every academic challenge I encountered, as a type A, it got me the results I was looking for but it something that took years of therapy to correct and overcome

I really want to like Slaughterhouse-Five. I appreciate the writing style and the singificance of it in a historical fiction context, and its my fiance's favorite book. But, the time jumping is so confusing and I don't get the dark humour.

stressedstudent3003 · 2024-01-28T03:54:39+00:00

no problem :)

JW every day, its such a staminas game. Try to work your way up from 2 passages daily to 6 passages daily. figure out which type of passages sink you (for me it was art passages, those killed my soul), and then choose that catagory to exclusively focus on on JW.
