I mean that sounds like a pretty decent party to me... (also it inspired the "this mouthfeel is haram" joke, which I still think about and laugh sometimes). Actually though I've been super reticent to sign up for clubs and stuff like that going back to school. At Med school a ton of them are for "exposure" anyways, which isn't something I need a ton of, relative to kids coming straight out of undergrad into the medical field. Maybe a different scenario, but I just sort of feel like a lot of those student orgs are filling needs I don't have.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:If you aren't engaging with your professors by asking them questions or going to office hours you're doing it wrong. Quoting this, because especially in classes where the grading is subjective, it makes a huge difference when it comes to borderline grades. If you'd aren't hitting up office hours a couple times per semester, you're doing it wrong.

Reverand maynard posted:I changed majors and there aren't that many classes that I can take right now as everything else is already taken or has calculus and organic chemistry as a prereq. If I use my GI bill to take six credit hours does it use a full semester of it? The GI Bill goes by days not credit hours (although if you drop below full-time you use full days, but get less BAH). So, the ideal is to take the max number of credits that your school and mental health will allow. Take Organic Chemistry and Calculus if you need them. They aren't as hard as they're made out to be.

Yeah, there's a big difference between schools that are actively looking for veterans and those that aren't. In Philly, Drexel makes a huge noise about their veteran-friendly status, and being there is great. Full unlimited yellow ribbon (which is fantastic in medical school), frequent free lunches for vets associated with on-campus recruiting and networking functions, a nicely appointed vet lounge, and registrars that understand GI Bill issues. Couldn't ask for more.

not caring here posted:Out of the 6 I spotted at the start of the semester - and by spotted I mean they constantly started each sentence with "AS A VETERAN I" - I'm the only one left. No one knows though, and if anyone asks I say I used to work for the government doing pointless bullshit which is completely accurate. I talk about being a veteran a good bit but only when it's relevant. It comes up every now and then during the regular 'talk about your feelings about _____________' sessions that are part of medical school or when someone asks me how I know how to do basic medical/nursing poo poo like putting in IV lines or doing physical exams. There's another Vet (USMC Infantry) here but he's been out way longer than me and is really chill and low key, and his service experiences were waaaaaay less medically relevant than mine. Apparently he was in Max Uriarte's (Terminal Lance creator) unit in Hawaii though, which is pretty cool. Through pre-med we had a bunch of vets drop out though, particularly one Artillery officer who thought he was in charge of me because prior O vs E was supposed to mean something. I told him to eat a dick and he failed out of the program at the end of the semester.

We had a kind of slow Asian dude in one of my units that all the black guys called Toby and I'm pretty sure I was the only non-black person who got the reference or it would have been stopped, but I was a grossly irresponsible NCO and let it slide because I thought it was funny.

MBA is like 30% about learning stuff and 70% about making connections with other people. Just go business casual the first few days and then adjust accordingly to the group trends. You don't want to be the odd man out, and reading the situation is part of the skill set you should be getting from the program.

FWIW I got into actual medical school (mid-tier MD program) with a sociology BA and good grades in all the science pre-reqs (plus a few upper division cancer/cell bio electives to prove I wasn't a chump). The few programs that care about your degree care in the opposite direction you think - there's a nearly endless supply of hard science turbonerds and a lack of applicants with any depth or breadth of experience outside of biology/chemistry, and those people tend to make better doctors/pas/nps. Get good grades so you get an interview; do poo poo you're interested in and can talk about with a degree of passion and engagement so you can nail the interview and get the acceptance.

Using the GI Bill for professional graduate programs owns so hard it's incomprehensible. My program is full yellow ribbon, so my GI Bill has paid out effectively $150k so far and I still have six months of benefits (that I'm hoping will last me through the end of next year). My goal is to get $200k worth of school out of it when all is said and done.

You can't get two GI bills, but you could do a GI Bill and a scholarship for graduate school if you're doing something like medicine or PA school.

If you're a vet going for an MBA you owe it to yourself to apply to Wharton. Penn gives hilarious levels of Vet preference, provides unlimited Yellow Ribbon, and a Wharton MBA is the fast track to "I'm hella rich, motherfuckers." Granted, Penn is full of some of the biggest turbocunts you'll ever meet, but the academic workload to "networking event" (bottle service at a night club) balance is so absurdly tilted towards meeting the people you need to know that you'll probably not care, and even if you do, you can cry yourself to sleep over your $250k/y McKinsey job offer when you leave.

vains posted:that is dope because I did a hard science masters at Penn before heading to one of the larger med schools in Philly (not Penn). I know it's really dumb, but I feel super guilty about not going back into the military and paying forward all the help and mentoring that doctors/nurses/PAs gave me along the way to the next generation of corpsmen. Going back in would be extra strength stupid, so I won't, but I just feel like I never really gave back, with the exception of hearing damage and orthopedic injuries. What I'm saying is, if you need any help with applying or whatever, I'd be glad to help you out.
