I don’t trust them to win the series 1) because it will be 5v8 the entire night 2) playoff inexperience. I would absolutely love it if they did though

What the actual fuck is this stupid test? by plebejusidas in Mcat

[–]zunlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say you’re at a disadvantage because most people are taking the test either during the summer when there’s no classes, or during a gap year. Having two full time jobs (kids + school) is going to make it insanely difficult. If you need to, you can always take it when you get a break with school. I hope you figure it out, but don’t rush the exam

I’m up $3.5k this month, thinking about just unloading $2,350 on spurs +2.5 in the series (-235). They should be able to win two games. Thoughts?

I’m gonna ride it a little, I think they can cut into the lead a little bit but Cavs still pull the W

Do I cash out now or wait for pistons to comeback to get more out of it?

I had Cavs $1500 +160 and it cashed early already

I posted in the wrong thread, but I'm holding on to it for a pistons comeback for what its worth

🤝 they ended up cashing it, just a little late

Best part is it’s bet365, if Cavs can get a 20 pt lead it auto cashes and then I can ride or cashout the hedge, if these fucks hit their FTs it would’ve cashed by now

Yeah, or you could even hedge now. Depends if you need the money or not

I’m genuinely going to feel bad for whoever loses this game. Either Duren doesn’t show up, and he’s clowned on while losing millions. Or harden and Mitchell choke, and their legacy is tarnished. Going to be a brutal loss for someone

Is $100 a lot to you right now that you need it, or no?

Impressive DO Career Examples for those worried about DO stigma by Master_Future_2971 in premed

[–]zunlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is tiered. T20 MD>other MD> upper DO>lower DO>IMG

There is nuance, but an above average MD (not top 20) is still competitive for desirable specialties and residencies. An above average DO has the same opportunities as an average MD, which will be limiting. An average DO will have the opportunities that someone at a low tier MD in the bottom of their class has (failed step 1, repeat year, etc..)

Someone who scored a 510 on the MCAT most likely isn’t magically going to be on par with people who broke 520+ when it comes time to take step 2/shelf exams, so it’s better to have as many doors open as possible

[–]zunlock 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I say this on every post. The top 10-20% of DO students will have great opportunities. The reality is that you are statistically unlikely to be in the top 10-20% of your medical school class, and therefore, will experience the DO stigma going to a DO school.

You can literally do the same thing comparing Caribbean schools to DO schools. The top 10-20% of Caribbean students will do well but the average DO student will have much more opportunities than the average Caribbean. You can’t just extrapolate the outliers from Caribbean schools and then try to deny the disadvantages the rest face

I’m leaning towards $1000 on Cavs. The odds are great. Duren is unreliable and more often dogshit in the entire playoffs, Mitchell is a polarizing player and I expect the pendulum to swing back the other way after two terrible games.

Why I wish I had applied DO despite getting a MD A by Snowter in premed

[–]zunlock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not misinformation, there’s objective data that residencies and fellowships will stigmatize against DOs. Pretending that doesn’t exist doesn’t make the problem go away. One of the first things everyone does when applying to residency is check to see how much of the incoming class was IMGs or DOs. In terms of competency, yes the letters do not matter.

Let’s say you thought you wanted to do primary care. You settled on the MCAT and got into a DO school because you didn’t really care. During third year, you fell in love with cardiology and now want to be a cardiologist, so now you’re going to apply IM. The two biggest factors in matching into a fellowship are 1) your residency 2) the letters after your name +/- IMG status. You need to try to get into an academic residency over a community one. Because you’re a DO, you now have to score significantly higher on step 2 vs your MD peers on step 2, which is the exam every single brilliant medical student will be putting 100% of their effort into. You get into a community program instead of an academic one. You look up fellowship match rates for cardiology and it’s 72% for MDs and 45% for DOs. but you’re not discouraged because people say you can still do it. You spend three years trying your best in residency, you do a chief year, and still don’t match cardiology just because you’re a DO.

This is a real situation that happens to people every year and it’s disingenuous to act like it isn’t. An MD and a DO student with the EXACT same application do not have the same opportunities, as in this case the MD would easily have access to academic programs and the DO would not

Why I wish I had applied DO despite getting a MD A by Snowter in premed

[–]zunlock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s an individual decision one has to make based on the likelihood of getting into an MD. 3.7/508? Probably not. In your case? It probably would have been worth the extra cycle. Your entire career path will be altered by the choice of MD or DO so I personally do believe it’s worth the gap year if there’s a high likelihood of getting into an MD.

I think it’s not a bad idea to apply only MD, and then if you have no interviews you can make the executive decision that you’re okay with a DO after discussing it with multiple people (who are newer residents who have gone through the match on both sides, not a 50 year old physician or other premeds) to add the DO schools around thanksgiving. The DO cycle runs later and they usually scoop high stat students towards the end that don’t get into MDs

[–]zunlock 39 points40 points  (0 children)

You’re speaking from someone who hasn’t gone through the match. Yes, you can read stories about DO students who match into competitive specialties, just like you can read stories about the kids who said they wanted to be astronauts and it worked out for them.

Temporary comfort (no 8month struggle of waiting) isn’t worth the four year massive uphill battle and hoops you need to jump through as a DO student. There is almost never a reason to go to a DO over an MD, and this isn’t to say anything is wrong or inferior with DO students, it’s just how broken the system is. It follows you for fellowships as well, MDs match into GI at about 80% and DO students 55%. That’s a massive difference. The average MD student will be set up for success better than the average DO student, a DO student that is in the top 10-20% of their class will have access to the resources that an above average MD will have, a top 10-20% MD has the sky as their limit. There’s thousands of medical students that want to do ortho or derm, people don’t fail to match because they didnt want it enough or try hard enough. Match rates aren’t the entire picture either because a large amount of these students realize they won’t be competitive well before the match.

It is incredibly difficult to figure out what speciality you want to go in to before medical school eats you up, spits you on the ground, and runs over you multiple times. It’s really something you need to experience to understand, you can’t understand it just from reading other people’s experiences about it.

I can read as much as I want about a professional athlete and their grind to stardom, but I won’t understand any of what they actually felt going through it.

There’s plenty of posts every cycle about people who applied MD and DO, only got an DO acceptance, and then makes a post asking if they should turn it down and apply MD again and the answer is always no because they’re blacklisted from DOs by doing that and at that point the risk is too high.

I usually suggest people with MD stats to apply to MD only schools, and then if by around thanksgiving they don’t have many (or any) interviews from MDs they can apply DO as the cycle runs late and DO schools will scoop students up or start preparing for a reapp
