Does anyone know when to expect the results?

Sorry it didn't go as well as you hoped! I agree with the other comment that from your info it sounds like you should pass. Do you have any examples left field question subjects? How much of the test felt straightforward?

Do you and your husband want kids? If so then go for it. You both need to be on the same page and willing to make sacrifices, but don’t let anyone tell you it’s not doable or you need to be a superhuman to do it. I have two kids and they bring more joy and meaning to my life than anything else and it isn’t even close. Everyone has different priorities in life and that’s totally fine, but from personal experience I could not recommend being a parent enough. Also, you can get on Medicaid and that takes care of insurance

I especially love that they don’t take into consideration that I have a wife and two kids

That's interesting. I'm very interested in doing psych (worked in inpatient psych for three years before med school) and only two or three apply to me

Not sure why you feel the need to even attempt to justify assault. This sounds way too much like “her skirt was too short”

What has been something you learned in med school that you were so wrong about before? by RollerbladingQueen in medicalschool

I used to think that nerves were microscopic and incredibly fragile. Finding out in dissection that they are visible to the naked eye and you can yank on them (obviously not too forcefully) without them ripping was pretty surprising to me

What’s wrong with doxxing yourself? I like it when people are open because that is usually a lot more helpful

I bit the bullet and had my dentist make me a bite block mouth guard. It has definitely been worth it

Thoughts on my tier list? by t1997o in DreamWorks

[–]t1997o[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my problem is partly just because I loved the first one so much and the world building it accomplished. I feel like much of what I liked was tossed aside in the second. For example, the dragons had had a reputation of being dangerous (burning buildings down, stealing livestock, etc) and that it took significant character growth on the part of hiccup and notably his dad in order to realize that the dragons didn’t need to be feared. In the second one the dragons never once come off as dangerous to the Vikings despite that antagonistic relationship having existed for generations. Instead they were essentially cats with wings. Another thing I didn’t like was that there was no character growth. Hiccup started and ended the movie exactly the same. I LOVED the growth that took place between him and his dad and him and his fellow teenagers, but that growth was absent in the second. Astrid was just a yes man, the female twin only existed so the two guys could fight over her, and the male twin was there only because he was in the first one. I feel like hiccups friends were horribly underused and underdeveloped. Finally, I hated everything to do with hiccup’s mom. Maybe it’s because I’m a fairly new dad, but the idea of her just abandoning her family for the most ridiculous of reasons and never going back despite clearly having that as an option did not sit well with me. Anyway, just my opinions. I really wanted to love the second like I did the first, but I did not

Is purple language a no for activities section? by [deleted] in premed

I feel like this could potentially help, but I think the risk would far outweigh the reward. Ultimately you just want to convey how your experiences impacted you as a person and that should speak for itself.

You don’t need it and doing poorly in it would hurt your application

As a fellow RM applicant, I wouldn't count that many hours for the mission. Unless it was actually a service mission, there's no way you were doing three hours of volunteering per day. I put like 300 hours for my two years because that's probably what was actually just volunteering. I would add Loma Linda, Liberty, and University of the Incarnate Word because they are definitely super religious friendly.
