Should I add more schools at this point?
I’ve been pretty behind this cycle, and I’m just finishing up submitting all my secondaries. The submission dates have been between 8/22 and today. I’ve been freaking out a little (too much time on SDN and Reddit…) that my school list is too top heavy, especially with my late submissions. I added Einstein, Rochester, and NYMC to AMCAS last night in my anxiety spiral as some more mid-tiers because they have relatively easy secondaries. I got an II from Yale this morning (my first of the...

What are my chance for prestigious radiology programs?
US MD student wondering if I should be sending 8/12 of my signals to BWH, mass gen, yale, penn, cornell etc... or if it would be a waste.
Background

Diversion at Yale REI clinic
“In June 2020, Monticone began stealing fentanyl for her own use. She accessed secure storage areas and took vials of fentanyl, used a syringe to withdraw the narcotics from the vials, and reinjected saline into vials so that it would appear as if none of the narcotics were missing. The investigation revealed that approximately 75 percent of the fentanyl given to patients at the Yale REI clinic from June to October 2020 was adulterated with saline. Some of the vials contained diluted...

Transferring to Yale School of Medicine
I was recently fortunate enough to be accepted into medical school in Canada. However, the PI I have been working with for the last two years is based at Yale. As I am getting involved in more projects, it would be better if I could be there in person to continue my work (I would have applied to Yale last cycle except I took the MCAT in September of last year). I was wondering if anyone knew what the Yale transfer process was as I know there have been previous transfers to Yale but I do not...

How do you deal with toxic premed advisors?
I had a meeting with our school's advisor who constantly compares us to our school's T20 accepted students. She started going off when I told her I'd like to apply to a couple T20s next year, telling me that nothing I have done was competitive enough and proceeded to tell me to retake my 518 because "that score is not competitive for Harvard, Yale, UPenn or any T20 as an ORM".
What is the best way to deal with such people? I didn't even make T20s a big deal, I simply just said I wanted to...
