I don't really have many people that can look over my secondaries. I know other people may be on the same boat and am wondering who would be willing to swap!

I have been in 3 relationships in the past and the one mistake I think I've made in all of them is that I went wayyyyyy too fast. Like kiss on first date and spending every single second with them after that. Eventually I think I realize I don't actually like them but stay in the relationship long because of the chemistry.

I haven't dated anyone in like a year other than trying to work things out with my ex but that did not work out at all and we went no contact. Went on a date with this guy 2 days ago from bumble, I tried to keep it short and sweet, only 1 hour. No kissing. Well last night I was at work and I was bored and he ended up coming over to my job to have a drink (I work at a restaurant). After I got off, we talked in his car and overall, our time together was like 2 ish hours. He asked to kiss me but I said no. I'm starting to feel dysregulated and like can't focus on tasks I need to do because I think I actually really like him but I'm trying to slow things down and not lust. He's also pushing the boundaries a bit. I told him I wanted to go slow and that it would have to be a while before seeing him again, but he just mentioned I could come "cuddle" with him at his house and hangout. It's hard for me to not but since I've been trying to pause, I'm kinda thinking it's a red flag that he's testing the boundary like this. Advice?

dudes listen up- if you’ve already applied, it might be too late but if not… get a credit card that offers bonus points after you pay for your med school apps on it and you can get so much towards a free trip. there’s still hope to get those points from secondaries!! example i’m paying for everything on a chase card cuz they have a FAT welcome bonus if you spend a certain amount, and i’m definitely spending that amount with applications, secondaries, deposit for a seat/etc.

might as well get a free trip after going through this f*ck sh*t. europe/asia here i come!

tbh i've been that typical neurotic applicant that overanalyzed my entire primary application. i'm starting to get sick of following all these unwritten rules and trying to make everything 100% perfect. i've just reached the point where on my secondaries i'm going to write how i want to write and not overanalyze everything. everyone has different opinions so there isn't a one-size fits all way to do things. this one resident who i paid to look over my essays gave some of the weirdest editing advice. it made me think if he could get in with the kind of writing he was suggesting, i can get in. tbh, i think using ai has been good help with brainstorming and fixing flow/ minor edits. if i don't get in anywhere i'll just try again next cycle and take a different approach.

i think all of my stress has come from sources like dr.gray style content or other neurotic pre-meds who are like "if you don't do this on your personal statement or work and activities your application is going in the trash." or "if you don't apply on the first day of the cycle you're screwed and you're not getting in anywhere." i've finally become okay with just applying a few days or weeks later.

i'm just going to be myself. if it's not enough, then i guess i'll cry about it later. for now, that's the new approach.

so like if i submit my MD primary two weeks after the cycle opens, am i good? trying to prioritize DO tbh but i don’t want to be throwing my chances in the trash with MD by applying 2 weeks later (i’m assuming that’s how long it’ll take at least). just applying to all florida (IS) MD schools. and PR.

looking for young women around the same age (i’m 22f) to split a long term air bnb in the hamptons/montauk/southold NY area for seasonal work. i’ve been mass applying and it sounds like there’s hella interest and a lot of need for servers in that area but housing is difficult. very good money and housing can be affordable if split. if you or anyone you know might be interested, shoot me a pm :)

looking for long island seasonal worker female roommates, preferably other young girls. trying to find work in hamptons/southold/montauk . i wanna split a long term bnb in the area. pm me if you or anyone you know is interested. 22F server.

So as title states, I am a 23 y/o F who hasn’t been in the dating pool for years. My first date in a while will be in a few days, with an old coworker 32 M I found cute. I last worked with him a few months ago and I think he was on/off with his girlfriend at the time who lives/lived with him. I experienced crazy tension with him and we would flirt with each other, never went further. He never told me he had a girlfriend, I found out on my last day from my other coworkers. I was never going to reach out to him but he requested to follow me on IG a few days ago so I texted him. When would be a good time to ask about past relationships if it goes well?

So I know the application cycle opens tomorrow for AACOMAS, is there an advantage applying the first day/week versus waiting 2-3 weeks? I've seen a post saying some have been interviewed for the previous cycle if they apply immediately but I'm not sure what the chances for that actually happening are.

I'm locking in today to finish writing my rough draft of my experiences. However, they likely would not be the best they could be for another 1-2 weeks, especially if I have to add story telling components.

TLDR: perfect my experiences section and apply 2-3 weeks after cycle opens or try to submit on 1st/2nd day.
