Can anyone swap their 1/15 AM UTHSC interview with a PM interview? This swap will let me help someone else out with their WF conflict. Please email 2021dermswap@gmail.com

I know there is a swap page but does anybody potentially have a wake forest interview on 1/9 and would be willing to trade for a 1/15 interview date? <lol sorry I don't think that's gonna happen (as somebody also stuck with a 1/15 date)

Who had the best hospital tour? I think OHSU hands down. They seriously took us up a tram. Gorgeous Portland views and lots of wind.

If I had to guess I'd say probably 20-50%, but that's not backed up my data

Yeah, not that it's any of your business but while I am personally not on an SSRI, the friends I have in med school who are have been on them before med school began and is due to unrelated (to med school) trauma they had in their lives. I know this an anonymous spreadsheet and may not be indicative of how you would act / respond irl, but perhaps be a little less judgemental and dimunitive of people's experiences and current situations? x100

Some people on this spreadsheet are pure trash and it makes me so sad to think that they could possibly be my co-residents some day. <people are both good and bad. Wake up
