What is a good present to give my Ob Gyn wife who is pgy2? I tried a surgical cap last year (she doesn't wear). Something small and cute (<$200). Any suggestions??

I would definitely update. The sentence that is not true question could respond to how you reacted when you weren't admitted last year.

If you are interested in research, take online stats classes! Learn SAS/STATA linear/logistic regression - will help throughout career if you're interested in academics and it helps to understand the literature.

Also note: med school will pay MPH tuition whether you do both degrees in 4 years or take a 5th year to do dedicated MPH.
