@StoreyLine@jbcarmody Medical school admissions aren’t just about grades. They want a well rounded applicant. What did the letters of rec say? What did he say in his interview? A bad interview or cookie cutter letters can earn a rejection. What did he do from the 1st rejection to improve on 2nd app?
@DrAPMD That is ridiculously inappropriate. Prometeic people can be so rude and distracting it’s SO frustrating! I’m sorry that happened to you. Asking for an appropriate testing environment is not having an attitude. Im glad you reported it and I’m sure you crushed your exam!
@bruceppdl@DrCasteelEM A private patient room isn’t considered a public space. There is an expectation of privacy. So recording consent laws would come into play.
@Gabby_Brauner27 I was shocked to get any. Especially with EM having a “global release date” but I guess every program moves at their own speed. Don’t panic for at least a few weeks, I know plenty of people in various specialties that say they don’t come out until mid October.
@Gabby_Brauner27 Yeah I’m looking forward to my vacation time, lighter scheduled rotations, but the price tag being the same hurts. Especially when there will be that 2 months where we aren’t students and not getting a paycheck so ill have no money :/
@GamerEMDoc That’s what I meant that sound incredibly frustrating! But as an applicant I also can’t take the risk of only interviewing at my top 5 programs., but I also don’t want to waste anyone’s time.
@GamerEMDoc Wow I didn’t realize that. As someone applying EM that makes me pretty happy, but I understand how that may not fair well for some programs.
@BreakingApp_ @RobertC26440604 @TimRunsHisMouth I hope you have the same energy for all the genuinely wealthy people who took PPP loans and had them forgiven. Also you better hope people continue to choose to be doctors, teachers, nurses, etc. As if the world doesn’t need these things just like plumbers and electricians…
@DrMigueQC Buy used! The minute you drive something off the lot the value goes down. You can find a car that’s a year old with barely any mileage at places like CarMax. Keep that payment low!
@sir_osis@Shamelesslysafe I thought the salary was “rich” until I looked at the actual numbers of paying my loans back. I think rich would be having a ton of disposable income even after loans and everything is considered. Financially stable is not the same as rich.
@sir_osis@Shamelesslysafe And we have a crap ton of loans. When I finish I’ll be more than half a million in debt just From School. And the first 3-7 years of “working “our residency which are not highly paid. I will be comfortable but people still see doctors as rich and it’s just not true
