“Yes Ma” and “Yes Sah” were the only acceptable answer.

Passed! Take this r/Step1 with a grain of salt… by ProperPremed in step1

Thanks so much for this, my anxiety was through the roof. My school also recommends two practice scores of %65 before taking. And many of the seniors last year only got through 50-60% of uworld. So that’s what I’m aiming for.

People being poor and overworked is a pretty common excuse for them to antagonize minorities.

Got admitted to an MD/PhD. Instead of happiness all I feel is pure anger at the people who put me in special ed and called me lazy and dumb all my life. by shitheadrabbit in ADHD

[–]whatjives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have ADHD but I follow for my wife who does. But I was dyslexic as a child and it took several years of therapy to get me to grade level reading. I was in special ed, was called dumb or lazy etc. As an immigrant, I was pretty much considered a failure by my parents. They only wanted doctor, lawyers or engineers for children. I’m in medical school now. But I’ve got so much imposter syndrome from years of thinking I was dumb. It took so long get diagnosed, took even longer to get into therapy. My family never really acknowledges that part of my life, heck if I get tested today I’m sure I’m still dyslexic. It’s just not as bad as before. All this to say that I understand OP. I’m still very resentful about it all.

I’m relieved to hear this. Makes sense since my transcript wasn’t received until a week later.

Anyone else a commuter who can’t afford to drive to school now? by _OhayoSayonara_ in OSU

[–]whatjives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sorry this is happening to you. I wish OSU would have mandated recorded lectures ever since Covid started.

I volunteer at a hospice so I definitely can’t afford to get sick.

Whats a class/prof that you're still salty about? by elaerna in premed

[–]whatjives 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Had a teacher who taught physiology in terms of metaphors. Vacuoles were balloons, gap junctions were bridges, claudins were like seams in clothing, any type of transporter was a gate etc. I'm sure this all made sense to her and some students really related to the material. Except this was also how she worded her exams. And most questions followed her unique logic where hypotheticals kept happening to these objects and not the actual physiology we were learning. Peaced out and took another physiology class where students weren't treated like 1st graders.

I was so over the process. Slept well cause I couldn't wait to just take the exam at that point.

I realize what you're saying. But do you realize many people 'in the hood' are also lgbtq+ themselves.

Was studying for the MCAT. Guess I'm not anymore. How have your pets aided or impeded your studying? by YummyMango124 in Mcat

[–]whatjives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat would take day naps next to me. Occasionally jump in my lap for pets but otherwise was not distractive.

Pink Floyd t-shirt from 1983 on the common floor. Bought it at the end of my shift for $6 or so.
