I have students deciding how much to pay for undergraduate, where to go, and whether it’s worth it to go to a more prestigious school to better chances of med school
I only know hidden cost of law school (bar exam, living expenses)
If y’all could tag other doctors or medical students I would appreciate it
I just discovered @LashNolen as well- if you could take the time- I work with Black girls who are trying to make the best decision for undergrad so they are well positioned for med school- any advice (more questions up)
I would do 15-30 on zoom but I know y’all are busy so I’m hoping someone sees this and can leave their thoughts. I work with Black girls and we are making undergrad admissions decisions

4. Then tell students reviewing with and without certain scores is normal- some schools have test others don’t, some people have AP, others IB, others have standardize scores 5. Tell students some students have some classes others don’t, some students have opportunities

6. Essentially explain there is not this “if all things are equal” and “a student who has the higher score will get the slot” 7. Explain how test were used and how that’s change 8. Explain this is not out of pity for certain students

When @TheAmandaGorman said she only kept the gold of what she wrote and it was through questions and reflection after Jan 6th that she came to the mother-load of gold during her @Oprah it shifted the way I decided lead as we create narratives for college essays
I truly believe a good essay is never for college admission but a reflection of who you are and where you are at in the moment. It can’t be for the purpose of admissions but for self. And with the Black girls in my group it is a way to process everything and come to acceptance
And when you hit the right words or language it feels like you have arrived to where you need to be. It’s not for college but for self and happens to be something you use for college
When @howardrgold1 keeps showing up but is unable to answer for
1. How he was attacked 2. Why I owe him the labor of critiquing the entire article instead of focusing on the harmful parts 3. Why he perpetuates the model minority myth for Asian students
1/
4. Why he doubts my lived experience so much that when I said this is my students response his claim is doubtful but he believes Pierre without even verifying his I spoke to ivies claim
2/
5. If he ever verified Pierre’s claim that he spoke to ivies and they rely on the test- did he follow up with those at the ivies to make sure this information is accurate 6. Why he spoke to counselors about their perceptions but didn’t ever follow up with admissions
