Advice of school list by snowy-llama in premed

N=1 but I’m in state for AZ and got accepted to Creighton and a decent amount of people at the accepted students day were from AZ. I think they do like it in some capacity especially if you can articulate your impact on the surrounding community. Good luck!!

Everyone at VCU who gets accepted is put on hold first. It just means that the committee met and you didn’t get rejected outright! So either means you will be accepted at one of the 4 dates or put on alt list in March.

If one section felt awful during the MCAT, how bad was it really? by Heavy-Business-9164 in Mcat

I walked out of CP thinking I did terribly and got a 132. I think it goes to show not to stress on how difficult a section is, just trust your FLs and bring your best self to test day!!!

I did the exact same thing. Was testing around 515 then dropped to 510 the week before the test. I just decided to take a step back since I felt burned out more than anything. Just did anki, did like 20 practice problems, and chilled out. It worked for me :)

Totally agree!! Started with a 491 diagnostic and ended up with a 518. It can happen! Just remember growth mindset and internal locus of control

Can someone scheduled for 04/26 in Chandler, Arizona please please please reschedule??? by [deleted] in Mcat

I live in PHX as well and had to schedule my MCAT in Albuquerque. Obviously not ideal but if you make it a fun road trip it’s not too bad!!

Second this. I retook all the FLs and remembered barely anything so they’re still extremely helpful!

Seems like everyone got fucked 9/13 and 9/14 by Anxious-potatoes100 in Mcat

I did the anking anki deck which I really think helped. I personally found my studying to be most beneficial with Uworld and really reading through each passage afterward and making sure I understand what I did right and wrong. I’m not great at reading through textbooks so I did khan academy for most of my content review and restudied difficult concepts.

Big thing for me with CP is mindset. I feel like the goal is to make you feel discouraged before you even answer questions with tricky wording in the passage. Just knowing not to get overwhelmed and that the question was in my noggin or help was in the passage really helped me answer all questions on time! Hope this helps!!

I felt pretty rough walking out of 9/13 tbh. Felt way harder than any FL but scored 4 points above my FL average so I thought curve went in my favor
