For current events outside of vetmed I like TheSkimm. It’s similar to the avma smartbrief but regular news. Little snippets so you get an intro about everything without having to read a full paper. And they provide links if you want to read further. It’s put out by two former NBC editors iirc.
Just popping in to say that tool will only be useful for half of your interview for UTK. I'm not solid on all the details, but while they're keeping the conversational interview portion, they're also adding an MMI portion last I heard. Take that with a grain of salt because sometimes these things don't get implemented immediately, so it may be that they're not adding it in just yet. I just figured I'd give you a heads up in case they are.Looking for interview specifics now. Thanks for letting me know so I can look around

I will also say they do tend to interview most of the TN residents that apply - usually around 87%. That being said, your interview and where you will fit into the class they are building as a whole is very important here. The interview is a third of your total score (if you haven't looked at the selection process breakdown, you should, though with the quick turnaround I feel like they may have made some alterations). I wouldn't dwell too much on the numbers though. Just go in there and be you and show them why you belong here
Yeah I just know it was the plan, I don't know if it's actually happening. Wouldn't stress over it too much though. In any case the panel interview will still be part of it.Whaaaaaat! Ok yeah definitely did not know that they could potentially incorporate MMI this year. Going to have to start practicing using that format. I've been following their admissions algorithms online since I started college but it's mostly just unsettling to look at nowadays
Thank you so much for keeping me and others reading this up to date with potential changes. I'm really hoping that my passion for vet med and UT will be enough to internally overshadow my nerves so that I can be myself.

It's actually the Chattanooga zoo that we'll be going to, not sure yet if I'll be going because it depends on the time. So kind of up in the air on whether or not I'll be helping with interviews that day at the moment.I am interviewing on the 4th! Sad that you may not be there but totally worth it since the Knoxville zoo is fantastic! That actually brings up a question that I had never thought about..... do UT vet students ever do anything with the Knox zoo? Like internships or behind the scenes tours? I'm not interested in doing zoo med but for anyone out there who is and/or for general cool extra vet knowledge... that would be awesome

For Anki I seem to be having some trouble and can't find the exact answer I need online. I have some photos I edited in paint and have saved to my computer but can't get the pictures to add to a flash card.

I’m watching the new episode of Dr. Who. I want the new doctor to be awesome and I want this season to be amazing...but so far I’m just bored.
Really bored. Whyyyy.
Doctor! It’s a name, not a title
This reminds me I need to watch the new episode. That sounds better than studying tonight....
...though for all we know, she’s probably both heh.
This is why I only watch things when I can watch them without commercials.Yeah yeah
Go find a version without the ABSURD about of commercials BBCAmerica added in. I think that’s why thr pacing felt so terrible and drawn out...or at least a huge part of it.
I am!!
DEFINITELY. SUPA CUTE
WWho Carved the Pumpkin?: a WW game in a world where Halloween is forbidden. Suddenly, overnight an innocent pumpkin was slaughtered and decorated. Is this the beginning of the end?
My delusional thinking before school started: "I'll have time to set this game up!"There was supposed to be a spooky Halloween WW this year but I just do not have time to run such things
and you people say SDN ISN'T a cult....
When did we say that?
*twitch*Could i join the bandwagon?
having just carved pumpkins last night it is a miracle that whoever made this didn't have a critical structural failure of their carving
I was thinking the same thing. Like if the wall looked thick, I could see it, but the wall is THIN and then you’re carving out thin structureshaving just carved pumpkins last night it is a miracle that whoever made this didn't have a critical structural failure of their carving
