I'm glad you don't have to get shots. My doctor said I'd have to give myself shots or have someone else do it if I did the heavy duty blood thinners instead of the aspirin regimen. But now that I think about it the shots I think would have only been for a week then I'd be switched to a pill.The Abyss wrote:I don't get shots. I take a pill. I have no clue if I'm heterozygous or homozygous, the hemotologist just said hey you have this thing gotta take blood thinners. And it wasn't really all that scary. While they're dangerous, I caught both early and they were easily treated. I can't emphasize how badly the Pulmonary Embolism hurt, though.EvergreenStateLady wrote:Gosh that's scary. Sorry to hear that, I'm glad you didn't die. Are you heterozygous or homozygous? Also being on blood thinners must suck. Do you give yourself shots or does someone do it for you? I hate needles so when they gave me a choice of heavy duty blood thinners or an aspirin regimen to remove my clot I chose aspirin.The Abyss wrote:

If this is too personal you can PM me or just choose not to say anything.
ETA: Definitely heterozygous, now that I've looked at the what these mean. I remember the doctor saying I only had one of the genetic markers or something to that effect.
I did have to do the shots for the first week and I did administer them myself. Needles don't bother me. From what I understand the shots (and I can't remember exactly what shots I had) are more for breaking up the clot and getting the blood to an initial thinness (although, blood thinners don't really thin the blood), and then an anti-coagulant pill maintains that level.EvergreenStateLady wrote:I'm glad you don't have to get shots.

I bet a pulmonary embolism hurts, I can only imagine.
Also I'm glad you're only heterozygous.
Lol, also congrats on UCLA.storpappa wrote:I am here to get a 181, because I did so well on my essay they will give me extra credit.
Now, to keep me humble, they will just report it as a 180, but LSAC and I, we will know
UCLA, Hastings branch I am trying to figure out if I apply like they asked, could I stay in Compton, or Hollywood and commute?EvergreenStateLady wrote:Lol, also congrats on UCLA.storpappa wrote:I am here to get a 181, because I did so well on my essay they will give me extra credit.

So I just ran the numbers. These are minimums, not actual results.storpappa wrote:The other day the numbers of Applicants (with LSAT ranges) and applicants (about 7 apps per applicant average) came out and was floating around here on TLS
I was interested in how quickly the pool of applications could be bled out, if students only attended the best school based on their LSAT to USN&WR rankings. Its just a swag, and I used the prior year matriculated numbers.
175-180 pool bleeds out at YH
170-174 pool runs dry at UVA
165-169 goes all the way to #20 USC and only needs 8 spots from the 160-164 candidates
Again, not accurate in any way, just interesting to see how the smaller number of candidates fits into the top 20 law schools. I saw someone ask Spivey if he had any data on how many 170's attend a T14, but I never saw that response. That also gave me the idea for this sort of "sponge in the pool" look at those numbers.

Not how many did, but how many had to. Basically these numbers are necessary, but not sufficient. 59% of the 170s+ had to go to T14 or the numbers wouldn't looks this way, but more could have (and based on other reports obviously did) matriculate at T14s.storpappa wrote:SO you from the medians ran the answer to how many 170+ went to a T14? thats pretty interesting breakdown
