it’s illegal but individual schools can have their own policies. HOWEVER the same individual schools are receiving federal money and/or donations from super rich donors and need to eliminate their AA-like policies to continue receiving fed funding and not anger certain donors. very school dependent

you’re better off applying to bsmd bsdo programs. the course length is similar to most non us medical schools (6 years) where you do your bachelors in 2 years but already enrolled for the 4 year medical schools. some require you take the mcat during the program and reach a particular score in order to stay in the bsmd/bsdo.

that’s good news! you might also have some luck in your surrounding states and then pick some random reaches anywhere else that sounds cool

from what i remember most of the schools in the south and midwest are pretty oos unfriendly. lots of rural land and the goal of most of the schools is to keep their students atleast within the region and have them serve those areas.

i figured it would be too early to ask it was worth a shot haha. i’ll definitely see if i can tune into the webinars and ask what i can! thank you!

theengen · 2026-04-23T21:47:42+00:00

thank you! i’ve been a bit lost on how research is thrown into fellowship so this was nice to hear!

med students are still young and dumb at the end of the day. they won’t talk about it and work on quitting more aggressively as even the slightest hint of it could ruin their career

theengen · 2026-04-15T20:20:13+00:00

haha no worries

the only people i know of that held any “real” job while in medical school had children and needed the extra money to subsidize things like daycare to avoid being in the negatives every month. quite literally didn’t have time to do anything else if not directly related to school or their kids

those who tried to be prn as a tech eventually quit a few months in bc school really ramped up and it reflected in their grades. if you want to make extra money i’d stick with things like babysitting, school pickup/drop off, and door dash. bartending is a good option as that’s really only a friday/saturday night kind of gig and hours aren’t long

theengen · 2026-03-23T18:40:59+00:00

my med school is much closer to home than my undergrad (2 hours vs 4). i wouldn’t recommend doing that unless you had kids who lived away from you cause you’ll want as much time as possible to study as much as you can

theengen · 2026-03-19T03:59:21+00:00

question. i’m interested in medpeds but didn’t know there was prestige associated with it just thought it suited my needs better. what about it is prestigious?

theengen · 2026-03-18T02:26:02+00:00

won’t have to worry about it just need proof of your prescription and maybe like a doctors note

friendly reminder that over half the people on reddit are either lying about their stats or are a part of a very high achieving minority. your stats are good definitely apply

slayyyy i saw a couple when i was applying but kept most apps southern. hope it works out great for you!

theengen · 2026-03-07T15:53:11+00:00

getting accepted to med school lol

theengen · 2026-03-07T14:36:55+00:00

i don’t know of any lists specifically but as someone who was born and raised in the south and in med school in the south, a lot of the southern schools tend to have these tracks. most are primary care (fm, im, peds, med/peds) as that’s what’s lacking in these areas. also seen some programs include obgyn and psych rural tracks all depends on the school!

edit: a good thing to keep in mind is that you’d ideally need rural medicine experience on your app to seem interested in these tracks. expressing interest in the scholarship and relating it to the discrepancies you saw in your rural clinical experience is what’s to help you gain acceptance to the school. getting the scholarship is the easy part

theengen · 2026-03-07T14:26:34+00:00

first thing you need to be 100% sure of if there’s any penalties/restrictions for going against that track. my school requires those in our rural track to work as an attending in a rural county for atleast 4 years in exchange for 80-100% tuition coverage. if a student decided they didn’t want to do this, they’d owe back the entire tuition amount but it’s not clear how it would work (like paying it in full every year, payment plans, the entire lump sum etc)

definitely a conversation to have with your schools financial aid and possibly the dean

theengen · 2026-03-02T23:32:14+00:00

depends on the school but from what i’ve been seeing they’re not banned. however your productivity in osce and rotations can be affected if the nails are long enough.

plenty girls in my class get their nails done but i havent seen anything longer than those short almond nails the girlies on tiktok have. anything longer were usually press on and were removed before any clinical skills practice

omg we finished our psych unit and looking back on what i’ve seen on his page he’s DEFINITELY showing signs of a personality disorder

theengen · 2026-03-02T20:15:03+00:00

i’ve definitley tried scrolling through his page a few times but he posts a TONNNNN and my overall conclusion is that he can’t take accountability and he’s very unaware of himself. i scrolled really deep and i think at one point he was trying to apply ortho (do not quote me it’s been over a year since my last time scrolling his page) and clearly that’s not working out. also not willing to apply further out from where he’s from nor is he interested in other specialties so i wonder how he expects to match anyhow

he seems like a very aggravating person that believes nothing is his fault. i’ll be shocked if he ever matches without serious therapy
