  1. can j46-s owners help me with sizing?

     

    6'2 ~160lb

    36" chest

    16" shoulders

    32" waist

    nothing is long enough for my arms 

     

    Thinking about L but shoulders might be too small. 

  2. Yeah. That's totally true. As far as undergraduate education goes, what majors (besides getting BBA) do you find useful? Science majors are pretty useless unless you pursue an MS degree and work in pharma or biotech. With bio you usually end up working at a university with little upward mobility. Architecture seems useful but I'm a total layperson in that field so I don't know. It seems professional schools are probably the only way to launder the useless majors unless you decide to pursue a Ph.D and want to become a professor. It's not bad if you can land a tenure at a renowned private university but the chances of getting that is oh-so-low.

     

    Idk, my master's degree definitely helped me get jobs. Jobs that won't cover the costs of med school though. 

  3. You seem like you're trying really hard to justify your yellow fever. 

    She's not well-dressed, she just wears expensive things and pieces people like. She's like a petite, demure, female sundance

    Again. Money =/= style.

    It's not about "being quirky" it's about dressing well, which to me means cultivating cool personal style, which Noirain has almost none, and Eye99 has abound. Even if she posts some lackluster or overly bizzare fits, she's still "better dressed" than someone whose identity boils down to instagram flexing.

    interesting, never seen a girl in cav empt before.

     

    can someone explain this to me 

  4. please watch the vid... changed my whole view on the healthcare field and I'm no longer applying to med school because of the documentary. 

     

    this gets passed around a lot, among the same impressionable pre-meds who structure their entire lives around received opinion.

     

    the doc's message is basic. medicine causes burnout, it ruins your personal life, you don't accomplish anything, you lose your ability to empathize, and, in the end, you don't have any passion for the field whatsoever. you just keep busting your balls for something you don't believe in.

     

    it's all the same garbage.

     

    you don't have to work long hours, you don't have to work for hospitals, and you don't need to risk your personal life for your job. if you need me to tell you how to avoid all of this, then you need to do your homework.

     

    i think you can make it. don't let pbs tell you that you won't.

  5. not sure how many pre-meds are on sufu but i want to share this.

     

    don't fall into the trap of the non-trad: expensive specialized master's programs (SMPs) and full-time research jobs.

     

    study for the mcat, take the mcat, retake the mcat (if you have to) during college. don't take a year off. if you have a bad science GPA, enroll in courses at the college you already go to. use that loan money to hire a tutor. don't pay more money for an SMP that might not get you into med school. remember that your SMP GPA won't replace your undergrad GPA; it can demonstrate to adcoms that you've improved academically, but they're not going to ignore your undergrad GPA.

     

    full-time research jobs are demanding, and, while not impossible to study during them, it's not worth risking your stats for a job that barely pays you. If you're interested in research, find a mentor through your academic advisor. the professors at your college will understand what your priorities are and will work with you to create a manageable schedule.

     

    it took me a long time to get where i am, and, although i enjoyed my graduate education and research experiences, i'm not sure they were worth the financial stress. i guess real, tangible accomplishments come with some sacrifices.

     

    best of luck to everyone still applying and to people already there. would like to hear from current med students (particularly regarding any tips for non-trads) since i'll be amongst you shortly.
