makingfetchhappen Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hey makingfetchhappen, I remember you made a post months ago about this website/software that edits your written work for you. Do you remember what it's called? Thanks Yes it is called Hemingway. It is free and I love it. It is a great tool to help you simplify your writing.

rmorelan Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I think I may have posted here a little too much. I've had probably 10-12 people ask me "you're Birdy right?" ha, like me you are basically not anonymous. Your entire class will know who you are if they don't already very shortly.

I've always needed help with simplifying my writing, as I have a tendency to be very wordy. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanam Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 After seeing all my friends post photos of their stethoscope ceremonies or white coat ceremonies, I've spent the past week wondering if I'll have the honour one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will, keep trying!! What are stethoscope ceremonies though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanam Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 You will, keep trying!! What are stethoscope ceremonies though? It's UofT's thing they do instead of a white coat ceremony. They say its because "[There are] some of us [at UofT] who are uncomfortable with the white coat as a symbol of the profession. We fear that it emphasizes differences between the doctor and the patient. It can set doctors, and medical students, apart. It can be seen as elitist."

Falling Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 good luck! My alarm didn't go off in the morning LOL. The screen on my phone was the usual alarm screen, but no sound. Luckily my dad woke me up about 45 minutes later than I had planned to get up and I got to the centre on time. Almost threw up my breakfast.

I know the feeling man. Sometimes I look and even wonder why I got left behind......... you just gotta keep doing your thing though and keep improving. If you are capable then it's a matter of time.

oshaku Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Also, I am *never* bringing my kids again. It was unprofessional but I am thankful that my tutor was so welcoming. I don't think it was unprofessional, and if it was, then the definition of professional should change. I used to sit in my father's class when he lectured at the university and I've seen plenty of prof bring their kids in either to their office or with them to lecture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdy Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I started watching Doctor Who (the new one - I'll probably get to the old ones eventually.) This is not a good thing. Damn addictive. Pretty much a certified nerd in every way now though. Just submitted my UBC application :-D I so hope you get an interview!

Haha, me too Birdy I enjoyed your story of having to bring your kids to class the first day of school!! I've had to do that quite a few times with my daughter over the years I hope you're enjoying first year! You so deserve this And it's good for your kids to see the hard work you've done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I've yet to decide if I'm going to reapply should I not get in this cycle. I think I've flip-flopped on it about 20 times over the past 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I'm guessing you've had your eye on other careers as well? I'm strongly considering Epidemiology/Biostatistics. I'd like to reapply to med school after finishing an Epi program, but I'd have to skip next year's cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if my master's takes me 3 years to complete for whatever reason. I don't really want to miss out on applying for that long, especially if my MCAT will expire.

Egg_McMuffin Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'm having this dilemma as well! My alternative is getting an MPH in Community nutrition. I think my decision will be based on my upcoming MCAT scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having this dilemma as well! My alternative is getting an MPH in Community nutrition. I think my decision will be based on my upcoming MCAT scores. I'm going to be 26 at the end of this cycle, and I don't want to be applying at 27 or 28 without having some idea of a back up plan. I guess the difficulty is skipping a cycle. I'm also concerned (probably not the best word choice) that if I find myself in a lucrative career in the next 2-3 years, I may find it too difficult to reapply. It is comforting that other people have similar concerns. I wasn't sure if I was being silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg_McMuffin Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 ^not at all. I'm also 25 turning 26. This is my first application cycle and MCAT as well, which means I probably got a couple more ahead of me...after my MPH I'll be 28 and that is scary to think about.
