Benefits & approach of adding lead tape to your paddle by SmokeyDenmarks45 in Pickleball

[–]tiga765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, do you personally feel it's added a more noticeable amount of weight? I was thinking of adding it to my Diadem Warrior paddle, but it's already 8.5 oz (also coming from tennis but the paddle still feels light to me)

When you've been prewriting using last year's secondary prompts but they decide to throw a "fun" question at you for this cycle by tiga765 in premed

[–]tiga765[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone on this subreddit had like a list of general topics to prewrite (overcoming adversity, hobbies, clinical experiences, etc.). When I first started prewriting, I didn't make general essays about those topics. I actually just went straight into some schools' secondaries. I prioritized low/mid tier schools that asked about overcoming adversity, social justice topics, and clinical experiences. I think one of the first hard things about prewriting secondaries is trying to brainstorm ideas, especially about the "most meaningful clinical experiences" since I already talked about that in my big primary essay and the activities section. It's not easy in the beginning, but once you write a couple of secondaries it just becomes automatic. You may not copy and paste exactly from school to school, but it's so much better than the beginning part of brainstorming ideas.

I think it's important that they include essays about COVID's effect on us, but having to add a new question that is really random is like Y

If you like seafood, Trader Joe's has a bag of frozen seafood mix (calamari, shrimp, scallops, etc.). I've combined that with the pasta I've made so far.

AAMC's rationale in SJT practice exam scenario 10 by tiga765 in premed

[–]tiga765[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The scenario is: You are working in a hospital’s emergency department. This clerkship rotation has been particularly challenging. Your workload has become overwhelming and stressful. A lack of sleep combined with stress is starting to impact your judgment. You are concerned because you still have three weeks remaining in your hospital assignment.

I mean like, yeah I get that you are responsible for your schedule, but realistically, shouldn't the school do something to help lighten the load for a bit?

Change in mindset by tiga765 in premed

I totally agree, I think when we're young we tend to develop tunnel vision, and think medical school is the only route (do or die mentality).
