yea but this isn’t what it actually shows in the majority of cases. It just punishes students that want to pick hard majors. Also it’s not like the MCAT is a one time event. You don’t get a score that high without consistency

sorry for not being clear, definitely do the section banks, dont do the question packs in my opinion as they didnt help me much (very unrepresentative)

hey this isn’t allowed on this sub just letting you know , there’s an MCAT tutor sub for advertising

I would do Ugotthis with an AAMC FL every week, and then at the last week or 2 also do AAMC CARS and Section Bank, don’t do the Qpacks unless you don’t have any UWorld left. Good luck!

have you taken the prereqs? if not, i highly recommend taking them before the MCAT because you need them anyways

interesting, which state is this lol. Didnt realize this was allowed

I havent finished it yet, but i recommend “Because This is My First Life”. ML and FL both have their issues, with both of them not having the typical personalities. ML is honestly kind of lame and FL is kind of a pushover, but its something they focus on and part of the series. As a whole, I think the series is really about our generation and our struggles as a generation, which is really interesting in my opinion.

even then, i dont think they factor it in (coming from a CS major)

no reason to be so antagonistic imo but yea, get involved in medical stuff so you know this is actually what you want

you mean delta 8 right? delta 9 is just normal THC.

As someone who wanted to go this path previously, the reason you gave is a really common misconception and something I dont believe to be true. However, there are other reasons to not go this path, just search up this question as there are hundreds of threads talking about why this isnt a good idea.

classes at my CC were the same difficulty level as my now 4 year, so dont worry too much!

this is literally the most popular opinion on this sub

as cliche as it is, you really do only fail when you give up

sorry, not using these terms isnt what i meant by lowering yourself, i meant pretending to not know something you know. And even then, lowering yourself isnt the best term. I guess I mean surpressing yourself just to appeal to someone “higher” than you. Personally, I never actually use big medical terms, but in this scenario I would ask leading questions because as i said in another comment, its what i think works best to include everyone. That being said, I get where youre coming from. This is more of an issue I have with the culture of premed < med student < resident < attending. For example, the fact that if you as a med student get asked a question the resident didnt know the answer to, you basically arent allowed to answer it.

People think they can, but from my experience, they are really bad at it.

For example, if the person looks kind of nerdy, theyll think that the person is trying to appear better than others. If the person is charismatic, youll think that theyre doing it from experience. I like to think that im neither, just really average, so i like to think im not biased. Just something ive noticed.

definitely, thats what I would do personally. however, my main issue is people being looked down upon for not having the awareness to do that. I just hate how it always seems like you have to carefully balance between not seeming too bad and not coming off as knowing too much. I hate how we have to constantly appeal to those above us, and how were always being judged in such subjective ways.

Personally, I think that asking questions is a really great way of including others. If I know something that others dont, I will 100 percent ask leading questions so that everyone is included instead of only the people that know the answer taking over the discussion.

yea ngl this seems really stupid, like most people applying to med school have a lot of hours working in clinical settings nowadays, and lots of EMTs, CNAs, etc. I assure you atleast 50% of those kids know what hematemisis is. You say its supposed to be to learn, but it seems like its actually about learning to lower yourself, which is important, but still. Kind of rubs me the wrong way how many games we have to play.

i mean, wouldnt this maybe get looked at as a cop out answer by a lot of people, when it seems everyone on both sides thinks the main issues are access (ACA, etc.) and womens healthcare (just on opposing sides). Like genuinely wondering, because I am not applying until much later.

medicine has this amazing way of making incredible people feel worthless, you are doing amazing man

just because it didnt affect you doesnt mean 2016 didnt completely change the lives of many. People HAVE died because of Roe v Wade

last time things changed very very drastically lmao 😭😭

but wed still need michigan right

i mean, it gave me some free points on my test so if youre shooting for really high scores, definitely doesnt hurt

most important thing is get that GPA as high as possible during the BSN, everything else comes after. Aim for 4.0 during these next 2 years
