I have a rare genetic disorder that affects one of my tumor suppressing genes, called Birt Hogg Dube syndrome. Based on what's known, I have a high risk of kidney cancer, collapsed lungs, and skin conditions. I've already had numerous collapsed lungs & my recurrence rate is extremely high (>80%).

I don't know whether this would be a negative thing to mention when I apply to med school/interview. I think I could safely explain how I have a genetic condition, but I don't know whether it will be advantageous or disadvantageous to mention my other risk factors (particularly the risk of collapsed lungs). Does anyone have any advice in regards to this or, perhaps, even personal experience?

Thank you

Does anyone know where I can get a lab coat and goggles (for chem 20l) other than AXS since they're closed over the summer? I didn't know I'd need them since I've never taken a lab course before :/

Basically the title. Has anyone had any experience with taking two classes like these over the summer? If so, what was it like? Am I allowed to take 14BL in an earlier summer session (before) 14B?

Also, I have the choice between Chem 14BL or 20L. What would you recommend/what are the differences? 14BL is with Pang & 20L is with Deifel
