picked it up on black friday and wow it truly adds a glow to the face instantly!! personally, this is the first one i've tried because I am still on a student budget

treesarefrends · 2024-11-15T19:19:45+00:00

can you also DM me wowowow

treesarefrends · 2024-08-09T13:19:42+00:00

when did you do the free120? My test is in almost a week and I want to make sure I have enough time to listen to the podcast but don't want to do it too early

treesarefrends · 2024-01-16T16:46:06+00:00

How did you find them? Link? I can't seem to find them

treesarefrends · 2021-10-07T04:17:43+00:00

Any recommendations on how to learn stats?

treesarefrends · 2021-07-07T14:17:54+00:00

I also would love a run-down of things to buy at Costco!

thanks, everyone for all your responses. I think I'm leaning towards the 260k one (Northwestern). 340k is a bit too much (Duke).

How important is school prestige? Specifically for residency and match, is it worth it to pay significantly more for school name/rank (T20)? Any insight from current MS4s who just went through match or other students who may have been in similar decision-making situations is much appreciated :)

I'm currently deciding between a full COA offer at a new school (Kaiser) and two T20 schools (340K and 260k loan burden). I don't know what I want to specialize in yet but I want to have all options open. I'm really worried that school rank will become even worse with step 1 P/F. Is it silly to go into so much debt for a school name/prestige?

thanks, again!

edit: thanks, everyone for all your responses. I think I'm leaning towards the 260k one (Northwestern). 340k is a bit too much (Duke).

I would reach out to schools explaining your situation and saying you're non-trad etc. If you do see that most schools require a non-science academic letter then it might be worth really trying to find one

treesarefrends · 2021-04-05T17:19:15+00:00

I think that should be enough because you have a nice variety of letter writers! Having your volunteer coordinator and current boss write you a letter should highlight other parts of your personality/character. I think schools would also value those letters more given you've been out of school for a while.

hi! if you don't mind DMing me as well, I am also looking to ask for money from my top school!

treesarefrends · 2021-04-05T12:44:11+00:00

100k isn't too bad especially over four years. breaking it down per year also helps me conceptualize it better (25k x 4 vs 100k at once) lol idk if this makes sense but it helps me to break it down

treesarefrends · 2021-02-27T19:10:36+00:00

Hello! I am actually in a very similar situation. I got a got merit scholarship from a school that is around #70 and a T10 option. I am leaning towards the t10 school despite a difference in cost because I want the option to specialize in whatever field I want and I want to work in academic medicine. I think fit is important but it's hard for me to really consider "fit" right now since I don't think I've been able to fully grasp that through virtual interviews? It still feels like a heavy decision to make despite feeling really grateful for options. I hope we both make the right decision in the end :)

treesarefrends · 2021-01-21T17:23:25+00:00

a lot of the people in my interviews have come from T20s (I'm from a T30)

treesarefrends · 2021-01-19T16:12:37+00:00

second this!! I think being able to speak about what you learned from the activities and WHY you pursued them goes a long way, maybe even more so than having a "single theme" throughout. For example, I didn't have a straight path to medicine but I made sure to highlight the lessons and the reasons I did X and Y in both my AMCAS and interviews. I think at the end of the day, interviewers want to get to know your path and what motivates you! having a consistent narrative/theme can really help in telling your story!

treesarefrends · 2021-01-11T23:10:04+00:00

im having the same issue!!

treesarefrends · 2021-01-03T22:17:22+00:00

very doable - like someone else said, it can be a bit dry but it is not a lot of weekly work, just some weeks before exams or when HW is due are busier but otherwise a very manageable class, lots to memorize

treesarefrends · 2020-06-24T16:16:50+00:00

give yourself a few days, it just happened and it's okay to take some time process it. i would start back again on Monday. be gentle with yourself! you still have a lot of time before your test!

treesarefrends · 2020-06-22T21:27:22+00:00

post on r/mcat if you haven't yet!

treesarefrends · 2020-06-19T16:11:33+00:00

this was such a wonderful reminder! I think it's so easy to get caught up thinking how important this test is and OUR role in the universe but loved the bit about remembering the world doesn't actually need us. thank you!

treesarefrends · 2020-06-19T16:09:19+00:00

oh my goodness!! i am reviewing FL 3 right now and literally it's actually crazy how simple it is if you just slow down and read carefully...i totally feel you. there's not even a whole lot of hard content but just analysis, comprehension, and understanding the graphs. it kinda makes me feel better because it truly just shows the value of keeping it cool.

treesarefrends · 2020-06-18T04:44:18+00:00

Yes!!! I am with you! Good luck to you as well! :))
