Sounds like an awesome class you put on!

I took a class that addressed risk and natural hazard (including climate change). We had a guest lecture from the gov't Natural Hazards Commission. It was fascinating. For me (50+ mature student) it was a connection I had never made. The comment that it will ultimately be the insurance industry

Huh. I filled it in truthfully, but how can they even tell if you are an actual US tax payer from this? I am filling it in from NZ--often these sorts of surveys are geo blocked.

I live in New Zealand. Have been waiting for mail from my US bank (TX). Finally arrived after 5 wks. It has a "Postage Paid Sweden" sticker on top of the "US postage paid" printing on the envelope. It says it should be returned to Malmo, Sweden if undelivered 🙃. That's the other side of the earth.

N applied to something like 25 schools (both MD and DO), which is not at all unusual. He got into all of the DO schools, and one MD school.

The school. MD schools are harder to get into--test scores and crazy numbers of applicants (>10k for maybe 100-200 spaces). More DO schools are opening up, many (most?) are private and cost $$$; they are easier to get into.

My nephew is just starting medical school in the US (insert proud Auntie vibes 😊). He applied to both MD and DO schools. They get the same education and training.
