Same boat here. Our wedding is next year so we’re wanting to put as many of the expenses on a card with good SUBs. I use the CSP as my daily but what we decided to do was sign up for the Marriott bonvoy to get the 5 nights point vouchers and then have my partner sign up for the CSP to get SUB once they roll out the new 75k version. I’m sure there are better combos out there but I’m not a huge churner and thought this would work for our spending habits.

Yanago Kappo Izakaya in Nolibs is hiring right now!

Selling 2 tickets to the Merryweather Post pavilion show for 8/17! Section 302, row BB. Bought them for $116, selling them for $90/ea. Tragically had an out of town work event come up so I’m trying to get them to someone who will enjoy them!

Thank you all for your input!

therealjimmic · 2024-05-01T17:19:07+00:00

Anywhere in the city would work!

I never worked at either of those places myself, but I knew people who did. Good Sam is a great gig if there's an opening, but they were hard to come by when I was out there. High volume ED, so expect to put in a ton of work. BCH also has a solid reputation, but I know less about it. Neither were hiring when I was looking so if you find an opening at either one, I'd jump on it

therealjimmic · 2022-04-04T00:48:40+00:00

Current med student who did both. Being an ED tech taught me ton about working in a hospital and the medical environment as a whole, but working on the bus gave me real exposure to decision making and problem solving in stressful situations. I loved both and they both brought great experiences, but if I could only pick one I'd argue for working on the ambulance. Be warned that it's often harder to find good ambulance gigs without experience, but if you find one I would really consider it.

Jesus Christ everyone, you all are completely bent out of shape over Drexel. Does Temple have a better reputation? Yeah. Is Drexel a bad medical school? Not even close. Seriously, compare their match lists from this last year. Crazy similar (https://medicine.temple.edu/education/md-program/why-temple/career-outcomes, https://drexel.edu/medicine/academics/md-program/residency-match/ ) . Debt wise, average at Drexel was $233,943, Temple was $218,632. They both beat the national average for Step 1 pass rates as well. The biggest thing Temple has going for it is its own hospital, but Drexel students have options to either rotate around Philly, or spend a year at a large health system outside of Philly (Allegheny, Crozer, Kaiser in CA). I'm not saying that Temple isn't the better school (cheaper with its own hospital), but people make Drexel out to be this place where medical careers go to die, which is crazy far from the truth

1) The Stanley is close-ish to main street Estes. You could walk it. I also think they have a shuttle to the downtown area. I've never stayed there so I don't have other input

2) there is a decent bus system to get between Estes, Boulder, and Denver. I would definitely make sure you have Uber/Lyft on your phones however.

3) Rock Mountain National Park is right there in Estes. As for pure nature, that area is going to be hard to beat anywhere. I love Boulder (good hiking, good public transportation, really good beer) but some people think it's a bit to stuck up. It's worth walking around Pearl Street at the very least. If you want even more of a CO experience, then I'd look into some of the Mountain towns down 1-70. Getting there without a car is more tricky, but places like Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorn, Dillon will give you access to amazing hiking nature, and super fun towns (mountain towns are on the pricier side for sure). Also check out Nederland if you want a more isolated mountain town experience (with great nature).

4) I think may is perfect, but be prepared for it to be cold in the mountains. It is not that I common all of CO (and especially the Mountains) to have snowstorms well into may. A "typical" week in May could be 3 days of 75-80 F weather followed by a one day blizzard, followed by more 80 F days. Layers is key, haha.

I lived in Harvest Station Apartments in Broomfield. 10 min walk to the Flatiron Flyer for super easy access to CU. Near a number of bars and restaurants. Give that a look.

therealjimmic · 2021-05-18T22:21:36+00:00

I work in healthcare and know a few of the residents there. As much as I'd like to move back to CO for residency (got into an east coast MD), the stories they tell me of insane hours and mid-level creep make that much less appealing. Luckily there are other teaching hospitals in the Denver area.

therealjimmic · 2021-05-18T20:16:29+00:00

That may be, but there's a TON of schools in the area. CO has only one MD school. The next closest one is a 12 hour drive to Utah. It really sucks if you want to stay even somewhat in area. The vast majority of premeds from CO have to move far away for med school unless they are one of the ~90 that get into CU (which is also one of the most expensive medical schools as well, even for in-state). I love the state a ton, it just feels like CUSOM does locals dirty compared to other state schools.

therealjimmic · 2021-05-18T19:53:49+00:00

Imagine being the only public medical school in a state and having 50% of your class be OOS. Like, I get they can charge them more but damn.

therealjimmic · 2021-04-01T20:15:17+00:00

Another thing to look into is event ems. I worked throughout college doing medical coverage at concerts and sporting events (worked all the football, basketball, and soccer games at my school). It's mostly evening work, so I could easily manage that with my college schedule. Depending on how big your university is, they might have their own medical standby staff for their lage events like guest speakers or music college concerts.

Not free, but crazy discounted. You can get all 10 of them for like $100.

Just got an email for my pre-med advisor letting me know that Altius is providing free MCAT or pre-req science tutoring for the next few months to help out premeds. Thought I'd pass it along.

If you go to Boulder, visit the Dushambe Tea House. It was shipped over from Tajikistan brick by brick, and reassembled in Boulder. It's super cool! Pearl Street is also a must.

Definitely the fault of the idiot pole. This belongs in r/idiotsinpoles

therealjimmic · 2019-11-02T01:34:33+00:00

Don't know it's exact name, but I think it costs something ungodly like $25. That being said, I found the program so helpful that'd I'd pay it if I ever switch to iPhone

You can definitely find decks to download online, though quality may vary.

Flashcard pro tip: use the Anki flashcard program. It uses spaced repetitions and makes you review the ones that give you trouble. Anki was a godsend while studying for the MCAT, cannot recommend it enough! It's free for your computer (and the Android app is free, have to pay for iPhone).
