CWRU vs. CUSM
Hello everyone, I am having a hard time deciding between these two schools.
Background: I am originally from California. The majority of my family resides in SoCal (about a 35 min drive from CUSM). I am currently married, no kids. My wife is graduating in May with a degree in CS. While I do not have any preference yet in a specialty, I do want to eventually match in a residency program in California.

Moms … I need advice
I am still in premed stage but I am applying to med school. Taking the MCAT in June. I’m 32 & I have a 17 month old & I want to have another one right before medical school starts (2024 cycle) my first born will be starting daycare this year. The second one will roughly be 8 months old when I start med school. My husband is starting law school summer. Is this doable? My friend told me it’s not a good idea so looking to see who went through med school with 2 kids.

Fetus in fetu
Incredible images. The world is a strange place. Some of the comments question the legality of treating this condition in some states.

Honest review from pediatricians?
Hello everyone!
I love kids but I've felt very discouraged about applying into peds because of it being an under paid, under appreciated specialty that I am told many people regret going into.
I have considered many other specialties and then fellowshipping in peds. For example: peds derm, peds ENT, etc.
Although I've found that I really love in-patient settings, and don't like out patient all that much. So for me doing peds derm is starting to sound much less appealing. I also love...

Rank Help- Program Culture vs Clinical Exposure
Hi! I need some help sorting out two programs that are high on my rank list. For reference, I have a family... so I am also thinking about childcare, spouse's job market, moonlighting etc. I'm interested in academics and in CCM or CT fellowships. Part of me feels like I am weighing great culture/good exposure with good culture/great exposure if that makes sense.

Pros- Real family culture (lots of residents have kids). My partner and I love the research triangle area, and we...

Help with ECs
I am a sophomore and was looking for advice on what else I should be doing to make my med school application strong. I plan to apply in the 24-25 season.
- I worked last year (about 200 hours) with kids in an inner city preschool to read books and do activities to improve their literacy and social skills. Loved it, but had to give up doing it this year as it clashed with my course and research schedule.
