I'm a current 4th year who is on rotations that are pass/fail, so my GPA is pretty much set in stone now. I know I'm not competitive at Academic Medical Centers, but I'm considering Managed Care or more Suburban Hospitals. Many of the programs I'm interested in (both ASHP and Non ASHP accredited) don't say a minimum GPA (I found 2 with a 2.8 minimum). They just say graduation from Pharmacy School. If the program doesn't list the gpa, does it mean that they don't have a minimum, it's "unspoken", or they look at the application holistically with GPA as one factor among many?

Besides academics, I have decent extracurriculars, internships, research, and leadership, and can probably secure good rec letters.

As someone who doesn't plan on doing a residency, it seems like the Rio Grande Valley offers many clinical pharmacist positions that don't require a residency while being more preferrable to rural areas due to being diverse, multicultural, and having good food. As a current 3rd year, this is an area of the country I'm considering looking for work in.

The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is one of the most iconic cars Volkswagen produced, likely after the Bus and Beetle. While there is no direct connection between the Arteon or CC to the car, the arteon seems to bear a close resemblance to the Karmann Ghia in good styling and its appreciation among Volkswagen purists.

As someone living in the midwest, rust has taken many cars. However, there are still some survivors from the 90's that are still common. They include

1. 1st gen (1997-2001) Honda CR-V

2. GMT 800 Suburbans/Tahoes/Silverados

3. Late 90's Toyota Camrys (facelifted XV20 generations)

4. 3rd generation Toyota 4Runner's.

Besides that, even reliable 90's cars like Civics, Corollas, RAV4's, and Accords have disappeared from the roads

I went to DPT school where I got a 2.5 gpa. When I sat with the admissions committee to ask about my decision, they said that they were worried a 2.5 gpa in grad school shows that I may not be able to handle grad school coursework and in the MBA program, students must have a 3.0 GPA to graduate. My GRE score was around the schools average. They did mention that I had a stellar undergraduate GPA but they like to look at the most recent years of schooling.

For reference this was a top 50 school and the school's published undergraduate GPA is 3.5

I'm talking about what base model car has very few cosmetic differences to a more premium trim that no one will notice an upbadge. I can think of many cars where there isn't much cosmetic difference between adjacent trims (like a BMW 530i vs a 540i). One can also upbadge the engine displacement easily (for example replacing a 2.0T badge with a 3.0T badge). However, it is very much impossible to upbadge from a base model to the platinum model with just badging.

Some potential cars that I can see being upbadged easily are

A M340i to an M3

Most audis are pretty easy to upbadge to the S trim (like A4 to S4 or A6 to S6) with just lettering, a S badge on the grill and fenders, and maybe getting a muffler ship to weld quad exhaust pipes. Much harder to upbadge to an RS6

Many Lexus models can be easily up-badged to the F sport version (but not the F)

I paid my rent a few hours after the grace period on the 5th as I realized I forgot to set up autopay in the new payment portal my property set up for renters. While I accept responsibility for the late fee, I did realize that there was a clause that any late payments may lead to forfeiture of the concession.

How likely is this and is there any discretion from the apartment manager (who I get along well with)? I've otherwise stayed at the property for 30+months and this is my first late payment.

This includes 5 nights in Buenos Aires, 2 in Puerto Iguazu, and 5 nights in Ushuaia. I estimate $1600 at the low end. I was told that $150/day is a luxury budget but I'm planning on cooking most meals and still hitting this number. I'm also going in the low season (September)

Here's the breakdown

Accommodation: $500. Mostly Airbnbs with a mix of budget hotels.

Domestic Flights $430 including luggage

Estimated Food: $250. Includes a couple of restaurant meals for crab and lamb and bbq but mostly home cooking.

Tours in Ushuaia (Vinciguerra Glacier Hike, Beagle Channel Cruise, Car rental): $260

Local Transportation (Ubers, buses, metro tickets): $160
