My main critique would be that it not being more predatory than many businesses in the world does not make it not predatory. It just means those things are...also predatory.
I recognize I am one of those people huffing and puffing but today's rejection really got me down! Auburn was actually a chance at staying in proximity of my partner and not having to be long distance for the next four years. I think for forums like these, it's understandable that some people need to shout into the void a little bit.
i was not referring to you. i dont think you were huffing and puffing
Oh believe me I'm huffing and puffing up a storm here at home. But hopefully not so much online/ in public. We had juice, chocolate, and my favorite spaghetti for dinner and then talked about all the chances that could still work out and I'm feeling better. Still hoping my partner gets in to med school in Alabama because he is the best person ever and deserves all the acceptances.
I don't think anyone is really criticizing a few disappointed or even ranting posts, we're talking more about the extremes where people can't let it go, get truly outraged, and things like that. We all get upset (this is literally a 996 pg Rant Thread) and no one is saying you can't be disappointed by a denial...but dwelling on it and going on and on about how unfair it is is a lot different than what I've seen you do.
That's true. I really don't think it's unfair at all--every applicant has redeeming qualities and I hope at least one school recognizes them!
i wanna say something so bad but i’m being a good noodle. but there are definitely some floating around from this cycle where i’m just baffled.
DO IT DO IT DO IT
IM GOOD NOODLE
this is news to me, but okay! You can join me in the gym 4-5 times a week to help find the serotonin I was desperately missing!!!
If I owe you $4800, you equally owe me $4800!
40% ranting 60% yapping, the ideal ratio
And people who got into multiple schools already and are complaining that they should've gotten into XYZ schools also. Accept it and move on, you have other places to go! Let someone else get a seat at that school.
It's understandable to be sad and huffing and puffing-- vet school rejections are hard! It's more like the people who think it was unfair for them to be rejected at X school bc they are better than everyone else.
YOU ARE A GOOD NOODLE DON'T GIVE IN
SPEAKING OF! literally opened FB today and the first thing on my feed was someone saying (in summary): 'I was a stronger applicant than my friend but they got into CSU and I didn't, even though I got into these other schools'
I think this is the exact same post, if so i literally don't even know what that person is talking about? Was there some corporate donation? Not that I keep up on that but the only one I was aware of was Chewy heavily backing LMUOP
“Standing joke” is crazy wtf
i don’t believe in school “prestige”. CSU is a fantastic school and I’m of the opinion they care about producing well rounded, well experienced students to enter the field.
Right. And as much as I am anti-VPA, pretty sure all schools have had some major controversy at this point?
i truly cannot think of a single school that didn’t have something circulate about them either in the news, or on here, or FB etc.
DOOOOOOO ITTTTTTTTTT
I agree with this
Damm
IT WAS DELETED I THINK 😧😧😧😧😧
I saw that too! Wasn't it also the applicant's fiancé who wrote the post?
Yes 🙄🙄🙄 I get being stressed for your partner, but if y'all are sharing mean thoughts that should stay between the two of you.
No pizza will ever top PICTOU COUNTY PIZZA!!! Growing up on brown sauce ruined all other pizza sauces for me.
No wonder I couldn't find it just now. I hope someone else-rightfully-tore them a new one on your behalf.
LMFAOOOO my reaction too
According to the internet it's usually made of "tomatoes, onions, oregano, flour, and chicken broth". Brown sauce really is the best description, it's just a delicious brown sludge. 😆
(I'm fine, just tired and everything hurts)
My old boss got kicked in the stomach by a horse and then tried to go right back to work... that got her the order (kid is now 14 and fine but probably still not advised).Not me googling what I need to do to earn a bed rest order for the last 10 weeks of my pregnancy
Have you checked a coupon like goodRx yet? I am on a medication that is $1700 a month without insurance, $90 for a month with my insurance, and $30 for three months with a coupon. I never even bother using my insurance, and I have good insurance.
Is Nurtec prophylactic not EOD? I take it as a rescue and I'm on Qulipta as a prophylactic. Also, don't go through a major pharmacy (walgreens/CVS/etc), go through a smaller local pharmacy. I've had incredible luck with a local pharmacy (maybe the right term is concierge phramacy?) that also does compounding - they deliver, they apply coupons without me asking 9 times out of 10, and they are very lovely to talk with should an issue arise.
lol a Canadian cosplaying as an American 😭
Try contacting the manufacturer. Sometimes they’re able to give coupons/rebates directly so that you can still get the medication when it’s unaffordable🩷
Yes, I know it can be used as both rescue and preventative, but I was under the impression for a prophylactic dose it was used every other day not daily. That might be why your insurance won't cover 30 of them. Regardless, still try to find a local pharmacy, they're MUCH better to deal with and want to help people stay on their expensive meds.
