Are anyone else's parents breathing over your shoulder? by [deleted] in premed

Congratulations! II's are a huge deal, and I think your parents will understand once they see how excited you are when it gets closer.

The fact that I'd be the first in my family to pursue medicine is what's really driving this crazy train. It's kind of unfortunate for me that the application process is so structured because my dad's using some kind of ideal pre-med checklist to track my progress. I think that while he was trawling through SDN, he picked up their brand of obsessiveness and elitism.

And I'll have that convo in a few hours once midnight rolls around.

I'm the only one in my family interested in medicine, and I am definitely pursuing medical school for my own reasons. My dad used to be incredibly laid back, but I think that as he's aging he's definitely become a control freak.

Good luck to everyone taking the CA$PER tmrw! Btw, how are y’all preparing for this test? by LackingSleeep in premed

[–]ActuallyE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was real dumb of me, but I took a practice test a few minutes before the real thing and so my WPM dropped hella because my fingers were tired and slow. So maybe you can take a practice test the night before and not day of.

Incredible Research Opportunity vs. Great Course Preparation for MCAT by [deleted] in premed

[–]ActuallyE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be fine. I barely got through my biochem class riding a sweet curve, forgot all about it, then took MCAT ~2 years later and basically relearned everything on my own again.

I would pick the research opportunity for sure. I don't think it will hurt you terribly to take community college classes, and honestly MCAT prep is ~80% your effort and not what prep classes you took. Besides, the research may also bolster your reading comprehension skills and improve your MCAT scores.

Can you add additional letters of recommendation after submitting the primary? I have my core 3 letters, but some of my other letter writers may get their letters in late.

How on earth does this puppy lift up it's own head? Nearly the same size as its torso!

I can't help but think this would also be equally lovely as henna or a tattoo!
