We made a rookie mistake. We told our kids that none of those things are real from the get go.
This really resonates with me.
I did bad my freshman year of college, then did better soph year ( 3.5 ish sci gpa) and then I have junior and senior year ahead of me. I took Orgo I and genetics soph year, and I took my first grad level class last semester, along with orgo II. It looks like I'll end up with the same gpa this year, so it'll be a stagnate, instead of continuing to improve. And I don't know how senior year will turn out.
I was talking to my micro prof, who is on the pre health committee, and I said I'm pre med hopeful and he asked if my gpa was above a 3.8, which it obviously won't be. He then said , albeit jokingly, if I've considered pharma? And I was like " No...just MD or DO..." and he said that DO is " settling for less" I mean wut.
That's just...stressful. He also said GPA> MCAT while I always thought it's at least GPA=MCAT if not MCAT>GPA. So I mean.
Sounds like yet another example of a terrible committee member.
I mean...he could have been joking.
And I've heard from many people that While Dr. X and Dr. Y say things like that, it's just to motivate students and to bring how hard getting into Medical school is into perspective. Not that they'll actually turn you down. And I know I can still apply even if they do.
OHHH GOODNESS. If I had a dollar...
Except it’s actually okay to precede a conjunction with a semicolon if the conjunction precedes and complete thought and the semicolon is joining it to another complete thought.

Example?
If you want me to go see Black Panther with you tonight, you'll have to help me with this paper; and if you say no, I'll know you don't really care if I come with you or not.
Eh, I'd just opt for the period and omit the conjunction. I see what you're saying though.
Neither is more correct. It's just preference in writing style. People tend to shy away from semicolons because they're not common in every day writing.
Since there is no other place to post my ****ty memes, I'll post this here!

There’s no actual consensus on the number for each, since different facial expressions may constitute a frown or a smile, but apparently the bare minimum would be 10 muscles to smile and only 6 to frown. Hence resting bitch face.

Technically correct man points out that the v for frequency is actually the letter nu, so they wouldn’t sound the same spoken.
I just use f for frequency. I like to minimize Greek letters where I can.
I love writing Greek letters unless they're ambiguous and can be confused for italics or something.
Same here. I use f for frequency because of the ambiguity between v and nu.
