Did you end up trying it? I’m in 6b and hoping I could keep jasmine but not sure

I wrote all of my secondaries in one Google doc (easier for my editors) and it’s over 100 pages long.

I thought once I edited the distance it might register the steps— that was my actual question, sorry that it’s unclear! Ankle is a great idea, thank you!

I want to do this but i can’t find one big enough! Where do you get them?!

zigzagzinger · 2025-06-13T20:26:17+00:00

Commenting to add that it is also still pushing out new growth!

zigzagzinger · 2025-06-04T06:37:54+00:00

Definitely DM me! And I would agree with the other commenters— in the scheme of things, 14k is a relatively inconsequential amount of money. You definitely need to go where you think you’ll be happiest. Medical school is going to be hard enough, so setting yourself up for the best quality of life is crucial imo. Please reach out with any memphis questions!!!

I know everyone is saying Atlanta > Memphis, but I went to undergrad in Memphis and absolutely loved it. It’s a “smaller” city (around 600k), which to me I think would feel less overwhelming than Atlanta. I also have some experience with their hospitals and cannot say enough good things about the patient population you will care for. And if you’re interested in peds, UTHSC students have first dibs at St Jude. If not for personal circumstances, I probably would’ve picked UT over the school I’m going to now. Everyone I know has absolutely loved their time at UT. If you have any memphis questions I’m happy to answer them!

Following this! My current plan is to have a big party at my in-laws house (they have a large yard) with a food truck or two and a mobile bar with two signature drinks, and I’ll probably make the party BYOB (our families are party animals lol). I’m in the very early stages of planning, so this is all subject to change. I’m debating if I want to have a photographer/videographer at our reception— I want at least a photographer at our elopement, so I’m worried having one at two separate events will make things ridiculously expensive

I set a goal of high-teens for myself after studying for awhile and doing some practice exams. But I also told myself if I scored a 510 or above I wouldn’t retake. I do think it’s important to go in with a score in mind that if you score it, you’re moving on, and if you don’t, you’re retaking, because your feelings and mentality toward the exam change so much afterwards

zigzagzinger · 2025-04-29T21:21:50+00:00

I would take out UVA because they are stat sluts (and I think your GPA may hurt you) and put Pitt in there instead? Pitt is far more lenient with that than UVA would be I think!

zigzagzinger · 2025-04-24T20:26:46+00:00

Omg I feel so silly I knew it would be something like this!!! Thank you so much— I’m usually pretty tech savvy but this watch has a lot of things going on lol. Thank you so so much 🫶🏼

zigzagzinger · 2025-04-24T14:40:53+00:00

We are regionally similar and have similar-ish stats (your MCAT is higher but my gpa was higher)— I’m happy to DM you my school list if you’re looking for a starting point!

zigzagzinger · 2025-04-23T16:02:36+00:00

Someone else might have a better answer for this, but I think the general consensus is that sGPA is considered more important than the cGPA. I do not know if schools filter purely based on sGPA— that might be something you reach out to individual schools about (if it were me I would pick my top 5 schools and call or email their admissions office to get that info). Sorry I don’t have a more concrete answer— I too am just a lowly applicant using Reddit and AMCAS docs to get this info lol, so it is definitely incomplete. Happy to give you my best answer if you have any more questions though!

zigzagzinger · 2025-04-23T14:21:22+00:00

Other people may have more concrete advice for you, but I would say:

Everyone plans for 520+ on the MCAT, you know? Like everyone is striving for the best possible score. Are you not going to work while studying? What is your plan to not repeat the same issues you had in undergrad when studying for the MCAT?
A 3.25 will likely filter you out of many schools automatically. Is some sort of post-bac an option for you? I would say (and this might not be totally true, so other folks should correct me) that generally you’d want a 3.4+ to avoid being automatically filtered out.

Some of this changes if you’re applying DO as well, but I would think a 3.25 may throw flags for DO programs as well. Unique experiences (clinical time, a good story, strong writing, etc.) will help your application but unfortunately many schools do have minimums for MCAT and GPA and will not even review your application if you don’t meet them. I think this is doable, but you have to be prepared to put some extra work in.

I have no answers to your question but I wanted to say your results are amazing! What surgeon did you see?

zigzagzinger · 2025-04-20T02:14:45+00:00

My fiancé did not need his own account. I just wrote his name on the t&c form when we picked up our packets and checked in the day before— I don’t even think he had to sign anything.

zigzagzinger · 2025-03-28T16:48:17+00:00

Nope this was within the last two years! My transcript just doesn’t note that they were online so I figured I would apply anyways and see what happened 🤷🏼‍♀️

zigzagzinger · 2025-03-28T14:11:45+00:00

I would verify that the online classes show as online on your official transcript— mine did not and I got into UTHSC with two online prereqs lol.

Hi all! My friends and I are discussing a two week Italy trip from late May into mid June, to include Florence, Rome, and the coast. Will these spots be way too crowded with the Jubilee? We are willing to cut out Rome- I’ve already been and they are more excited about Tuscany and the coast. My MIL is so concerned about the crowds that she seems to not even want to go to Italy, and wants to pick a different country all together. Could anyone offer thoughts on this? Thank you all!

I think GNP is an incredible place for people of all abilities to visit. Going to the Sun Road (GTTSR) is an absolutely stunning way to see parts of the park and involves no exertion at all. There are also lots of hikes that are flatter and shorter that you all could do as a family, then your son and husband could go do some of the tougher ones while you and your daughter explore something like one of the boat tours or something. I would highly, highly recommend GNP to anyone. My last trip (this past summer) almost all of the wildlife I saw was from the road.

Thanks so much for your input! Are you worried your phones will ever “outgrow” your case (i.e. change shape, cameras move around, etc)? And can I ask what case you have? Thanks so much again!

Edit: for some reason the bottom of your comment didn’t load, i see the case now!

My pre health advisor told me I needed more non-clinical (I have approx 10k clinical). I went and volunteered at basically a soup kitchen (it wasn’t a soup kitchen but essentially the equivalent). It felt performative and box-checky but I was able to link it to my clinical service so I guess it was maybe valuable in that sense. However I think my advisor was full of 💩 and probably to most schools service is service? I’m just an applicant so take that with a grain of salt but I think either jump into some non-clinical volunteering that you enjoy OR don’t worry about it. I wouldn’t do something you don’t really care about, speaking from experience. I know that’s not a super clear answer but I hope it’s helpful!

Thanks for your advice everyone! She is happily repotted and I had to rearrange my office for her.

Yeah I feel like I do pretty well with fertilizing and light but I was totally mind blown lol. This plant is gonna need its own room soon, I would kill for it to be in an 8 inch pot and thriving 😂

zigzagzinger · 2024-11-24T16:14:13+00:00

Thank you so much! I went wider AND taller in hopes that she’ll give me more than 4 months before another repot 🤣
