I took a winter break class during undergrad during just the month of Jan. When entering my coursework, should I classify it as a Mini Semester winter/spring or 2nd semester (spring)? Thanks!

Just took casper and talked about the Gratitoad in the show Big Mouth. Don’t know what compelled me to do that.

Hi all, how long did it take those of you who had chest/breast acne to see improvement? I know we’re all different but I’m on month 5 and my breasts have seen 0 improvement. They recently started to get drier and I’ve been on my highest dose for 2 months now.

My face improved quickly (was never that bad).

Thanks!

​​​Need help adding to baselines. If you are seeing this post and there is no list its bc things keep getting randomly deleted out my post

Hi everyone, I have 700 hours of oncology research from undergrad and was a middle author on a publication.

Does it matter which activities section I put this experience in (research vs pub)? I feel like using up 2 is a waste. I don’t have other research experiences so that section would be blank if I don’t put this there. Thanks!

I started accutane 4 months ago. I was on 20mg for a month, then 30 and now 40mg for the past 2 months (40 will continue to be my highest dose). My acne is all on my breasts and I have seen 0 difference, its also barely any more dry. No purging or improvement.

My face, which has never had bad acne, has seen improvement and it very dry but I don’t really care about my face anyways.

Has anyone experienced slow progress on their body acne, specifically any women with breast acne? Thanks

I keep seeing people say that some of the top schools are stat whores, who would those be?
