Elden Ring is a real time killer. Ive also been wanting to play that new Harry Potter game, but I only have a PS4 :(
Im a very story driven single player game person. If you like those kind of games I would recommend Horizon Zero Dawn and Last of Us.

Hello friends! I'm a rising third year on the dub campus! I wanted to come in and wish you all good luck. I remember sitting on the waitlist two years ago, stressing and not hopeful. I had the following:

-lower mcat (499 [first time] and 502 [second time])
-3.4 overall undergrad gpa
-2.9 science undergrad gpa
-3.97 grad school GPA
-no DO shadowing or letter of recommendation
-maybe 100 hours max of medical volunteering
-maybe 50 hours max of shadowing
*Granted I applied during COVID so a lot of things were shut down when I was trying to get hours.
-EDIT: URM

I am also a nontraditional female (started at 27 and I'm 29 now). I absolutely remember being in your shoes. I didn't think I was going to get in at all and had virtually resigned myself to waiting another round. However, that call from Dean Burke two years ago changed my life.

Do not give up my friends! Your time is coming. I remember those LONG months on the waitlist were tough but it will all work out :)

Please let me know if you need anything!

oof. I got a long way to go then. I waitlisted 3/21/23. ⏳ (and sure, if Dr. Schriner says there's a ton of movement in May, it's only 5/5 and patience is a virtue :1whistle:)

I don’t think it 100% matters when you were WL because they have the meeting to rank every person on the waitlist, now idk what plays a role in that though

I would agree with this. My best friend was waitlisted before I was and he was not pulled off the waitlist while I was.

If you're wondering why, the topic is discussed of the most recent episode of The Wan Show. tbh, I did a video game cleanse to prep for the fall. It started with Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, then Xbox (specifically MW2). I tried picking it back up but the new MacBook Air M2 didn't run CS:GO very well at all, and it was probably for the best. Removing those has allowed me to "reclaim my time" to do more wood projects, mtn bike night rides, and more zen stuff like lawn mowing different patterns in an old man's lawn.

Yeah I don't really spend too much time on video games anyways. I work full-time so any free time is mostly filled with hobbies/ gym/family time. The video games are for when the aforementioned are not possible, or if I'm truly bored or sick @ home with time to kill.

There's still time for that in med school, just far, far less than usual. You need to still be human. Time management and prioritizing hobbies/self-care is key for mitigating burnout.

So I think it's awesome you're reclaiming time to do your zen things. I do love me a nicely mowed lawn :=|:-):
