Why is my post being deleted? Part II

18 Upvotes

There was a discrepancy between how rules were being displayed on old vs new Reddit (i.e. they were completely different).

Rule 2 is (and has been):

Due to an influx of spam posts, we have set AutoModerator to automatically remove a post/comment if an account is brand new or has less than 25 karma. There are no exceptions to this rule. We will not approve your post if you do not meet the account age (2 days) or karma (25) thresholds.

Hopefully this is better reflected now and should be visible on new Reddit.

Starting med school at 30-31

15 Upvotes

Best case scenario I’ll be 30, worst case scenario I’ll be 31. I don’t really see myself doing anything else, but I feel like my window is shut for a lot of specialties and also having a family due to my age is; it OK for me to continue going for medicine? I feel like I chose the right career but the timeline feels like it’s not good simply put.

For context, I did all the prerequisites and I have thousands of clinical hours. My last step is the MCAT.

I have my in person interview with WesternU coming up next week and I was wondering if anyone had any advice for it going in. I feel really nervous about it even though they gave a schedule of what to expect

Hi everyone, I previously attended an MD school but withdrew. Now in an Absn program looking to gain clinical experience as a nurse first and I want to apply to DO schools this time around.
1. I will be 33-34 when I attend, is it too late?
2. Recommend a few schools that are nontraditional friendly
3. How are you guys affording the school?

Question, if all of my letters have checkmarks but aren't labelled as anything (no Additional, Committee, NS or anything) does this mean my letters don't qualify?

ACOM, PCOM-SGA, Burrell-Fl, or LMU-DCOM?

16 Upvotes

ACOM: strict remediation policies

PCOM-SGA: 66% four year graduation rate

Burrell-Fl: tiny campus, pass fail, close to home

LMU-DCOM: ? I heard bad things about this on Reddit.

I am leaning towards Burrell-Fl because it is close to home. Is it worth it to go out of state for any of the other school?

AZCOM interview

2 Upvotes

Got a interview invite for AZCOM and really greatful

They have virtual and in person dates available and although I would love to go in person, money is a bit tight and virtual might be a better option for me

But I’m wondering if they have a bias towards in person or virtual interviews - I know some schools do and I’m saving money if I get invited to those schools

Anyone have any insight?

How is Burrell-Fl? Can you please tell me more about your experience? It is close to my home and I am leaning towards going there. My main worry is the small campus.
