Hi everyone, from january of this year to may of this year i was pretty stacked on my all my ECs (clinical, research, volunteering, clubs, etc.) and I did the math and it came out to around ~46 hours / wk for that span of time

This was only possible bc my semester was incredibly light and was borderline a joke (classes were non-premed / major related) and i only had class 3 days a week

A friend told me I should be concerned bc 46/wk is implausible for that period of time and it may raise suspicion about my work and activities’ section on my application

icl bro’s got me a bit worried now lmfao 😭 what do you all think?

So I'm a TN resident, and was told to apply to University of Kentucky SOM because I live only an hour and a half from the state border

IDK, the school specifically asks in its secondaries about personal ties to the state.

Is it enough to say in that box I plan to serve rural and underserved populations? Or should I not even bother applying? I've never lived, worked, or had family there.

OOS matriculants were 50 / 208 total, =24%

Hey guys,

I’m wondering what we’re meant to do for secondaries from
schools that ask for us to list certain activities and a description of them

Take Creighton for example, they ask you to list all non medical volunteering you did, a description, and # of hours

Do we literally just copy paste our AMCAS descriptions there? Surely they don’t expect us to fully rewrite our descriptions for this when it’s already down in amcas 😭😭

I just find this a bit ridiculous, any help or lmk what yall did would be appreciated, thank you

Hey all,

2 schools I'm applying to have separate attestation segments of the secondaries where they basically make you sign to attest that no part of your primary or secondary utilizes AI in any capacity whatsoever

I used AI to help with grammar and prose.

Look, not using it on secondaries is one thing, but my primary is submitted and done, and obviously I can't change shit

Am I really forced to just withdraw my application from both these schools now? When one of them literally uses AI to screen applicants? what a fucking joke lmao

any insight/help would be really appreciated in case yall happen to be applying to schools like this too, thanks

I'm trying to cancel my Whoop membership, initially I bought it for the 1 month trial and upon trying to cancel the trial I was offered a 2 week extension for free. After the extension, decided to keep it (and pay) for an additional month (so $30 USD)

I am now no longer satisfied with the product and wish to cancel. Upon trying to cancel it's telling me that I have a "9 month commitement" I have to pay upfront for if I want to cancel?

Excuse me? wtf? i never agreed to a commitment, am i missing something here?

Edit: I've noticed it says "months already paid: 5" even though theres only 4 "paid" statuses on this "receipt, and that's not even mentioning that the 4 "paid" are within the same month????????

Hi all,

Was wondering if it would be a good idea or not to go about getting a "personal" LOR from the founder of a club ( a fellow student) I've worked with for a few years now

I'm just worried it'd come across as less credible because its another student writing it / i dont want them to think its just a friend giving praise for the sake of it

there are genuine moments to which they said they can speak to if I need a LOR from them, and i think it would give good insight because ive been with the org for so long

what are yalls thoughts?? any insight is really helpful, thank you!

Edit: FWIW, this would be my 5th LOR

So Rosalind Franklin SOM says they'd really like if one of your LORs is from a health professional, and that they DON'T accept more than 3 LORs.

On AMCAS I accidentally allocated 2 STEM and 1 non-STEM LORs to RF but not my Physician LOR, and I'm obviously unable to remove a sent LOR.

Am I screwed? Can I still send them that 4th physician LOR or will they just trash my file for having sent 3+?

idk what to do and im kinda panicking, any help or insight would be really really appreciating

So I'm kinda tweaking

I don't have anyone who I've had "substantive contact for 2+ years" with that can write me a LOR.

The professional and academic LOR I've got covered but I'm genuinely confused on what to indicate for the 3rd box on their secondary.

Am I just donating $100 if I submit the secondary? I've read they just straightup trash your file if you dont meet the requirement

I'm considering putting down a non-STEM Tr. who knows me well both in and out of the classroom that I've had for 2+ semester and I'm hoping they just substiute it but IDKKKKK

Hey all,

I was looking at George Washington SOM's secondary portal and they state: "GW does not measure Secondary Application response time when making admissions decisions, so please ensure your application is fully prepared before submitting it."

Assuming I'm understanding that this means you can submit secondaries for GW whenever/there's no need to follow the 2wk rule, does anyone know if there's a list/compilation of other schools that don't have a rolling basis priority for secondaries?

I'm applying to a fuck ton this cycle so any alleviation from writing would be great where possible 😭

Hi all,

Last I heard, you're not required whatsoever to pay red light camera violation tickets.

I have two "offenses" from May and July of last year. I received letters about them some time ago and ignored them. I'm now receiving "delinquent" papers informing me I'm required to pay BY LAW in big red text.

And that if I don't respond it's considered "judgement" alongside an additional $70 court cost. That it will then be turned over to a collection agency.

I'm a bit confused though, as it literally says on the same letter that nonpayment CANNOT adversely affect credit score?

In regards to other info on the letter I'm given the name and badge number of someone from the "Knoxville Traffic Violations Bureau". The letter itself is from "Knoxville Red Light Photo Enforcement Program"

Any help would be greatly appreciated, unless there's been some change in law and/or legislature I'm just going to keep ignoring them. Thank you!

Hey all,

Hopefully this isn't a dumb question, but I will be graduating college a semester early in December of this year rather than May of next year.

If I am in fact admitted I'd expect to begin 7/27 or 8/27

Just not sure if I answer yes to this secondary prompt and then write out the full essay because I'm not voluntarily taking a "gap" semester/year.

Thank you!!

Hi all,

Just curious if there's any expected timeline for this type of thing. This is probably me being insanely neurotic but it's been 4 days since my primary AMCAS app was verified and I've only received 2ndaries from 11/41 schools applied to.

I’m 5’9, and when the only thing on my social media across all platforms is “life begins at 6’0” “ it’s incredibly easy to get demoralized. I keep seeing all these videos of girls saying that they would never even speak to anyone that’s not “tall” and it’s seriously fucked up my self confidence

I was never even that insecure about my height until these past couple of months when all this started being a thing. Maybe it always has been, but it feels like there’s more talk about it today than before.

Anyways, like i said, 5’9 at 21, and my brother is 14 and 5’11” and projected to be very well over 6’0” by adulthood. My father is 5’9 and mother is 5’6 and I just can’t help but feel I got the short end (literally) of the stick. I sit here often and quite literally wish I had prioritized things like my sleep and my diet (more protein, calcium, etc) instead of being overweight for all of my childhood. It’s just lots of regret these days

Does anyone have any advice? I can’t help but feel jealous sometimes which I know sounds so incredibly stupid given he’s literally family but it doesn’t help that he’ll taunt me about it as well. He’s gotten himself into this whole “forbidden word on this subreddit that rhymes with mookslaxxing” thing and likes to tell me all the same things i hear online

Hey all

I’m not exactly a keyboard enthusiast. I’ve had the GMMK TKL Pro for several years now and would like to switch.

Despite (explicitly) mentioning that i’d prefer a prebuilt i keep being told to buy a custom built (the Neo80cu keeps coming up again and again)

Is it seriously that good? I’m struggling to see the advantage over just buying a solid, well-reviewed prebuilt off of amazon or some other site

I don’t mod or lube or anything like that I typically just buy the keyboard and use as-is lmao

What card to open to spend $10,000

Hi all, my credit score is 800 atm.

In total, i’m going to have to spend 10k to apply to graduate school.

Recently I saw a comment of someone opening a credit card to do something similar in order to earn a lotttt of free travel points as well as get a sign up bonus.

Does anyone know which credit card I should open that would give me the maximum benefits? I was thinking Amex Gold but not sure if there’s something better. I plan on keeping this card as well, currently have a couple at the moment

Title.

This would be for my scribing job. My "supervisor/manager" I have never worked with but I worked with a single coworker essentially every one of my shifts and I feel that they would be able to better verify my involvement.

Just wondering if this is suspicious at all/if it would raise eyebrows. Thanks!
