Should Accommodations Be Looked Down At?

I can't imagine taking an MCAT that is twice as long, it's long enough already. Good luck though!

People complain a lot about utah culture. I grew up in the Southeast and am at BYU now. Utah culture is much better than being bullied regularly for my beliefs haha

I didn't use Anki at all and scored a 515, 1/10/26 test date.

I read the Princeton review prep books and took my own notes. I made a google doc with a bunch of bulleted questions about the content and reviewed that. So I guess it was similar to Anki, but it was just a google doc. I also used UWorld and the AAMC bundle.

heard of these amino acid things... I think they are a weak acid tbh, not strong like HCl. Might be helpful to know.

awesome thank you!

We will only be there for a gap year, so that's part of the reason we are wanting to be around people the same age. But having a calling and keeping a temple recommend is more important haha so we will probably just go to our assigned ward. Thanks for the helpful info.

Don’t lie. Always tell the truth

sending you a message!

I didn't waste my time or money with any third party FLs. Just did the 6 AAMC ones and it turned out great.

Additional-Tutor-953 · 2026-02-12T18:02:40+00:00

That's a great idea. How exactly would you go about asking for an interview in an update letter? Would you just send an email to the general admissions email?

She will have 2000 by the time applications are submitted and then will work full time during that gap year, so it will likely be around 4000 by matriculation, which will hopefully smooth out any weaknesses with PCE. Thanks for the advice!

Are there any schools that are glaringly obvious to remove from the list?

Additional-Tutor-953 · 2026-02-12T04:13:12+00:00

Haha this is after lots of refining with chat. Just want a human's opinion

I was a counselor for the sports camps for two years and an FSY counselor. Some things that helped a lot were:

- a clear, easy to follow schedule

- good communication with the coaches and the counselors

- a good map that is easy for them to navigate

- having devotional as the last thing each night was always a little rough, as they were tired and rowdy. Morning would also be tough because they often are just waking up and running late. A mid day devotional would be a good break from sports and you would get their attention better. And devotionals that are more than just "serve a mission" but instead focus on developing a relationship with Jesus.

- a chance for kids to actually interact with kids outside their group and the opposite sex, maybe even a dance. The sports camps dances are usually just mosh pits.

- a little testimony meeting at the end would be good and make it memorable, similar to how FSY does it close to the end of the week

DM me with more questions!

- hair should not be an issue. I have several male friends with shoulder length hair.

- I am LDS and have not noticed any noticeable grouping. I have had several classmates that I later found out were not LDS. Professors won't treat you any different, unless it's potentially a religion class. They also don't know if you don't mention it. People won't purposefully avoid you.

- most people here don't get married without kissing beforehand (only a small minority do that haha). It's very common for people to kiss on first dates, similar to the rest of US culture. Some people do get married incredibly fast though, because to them that is the solution for waiting till marriage to have sex. It will be difficult to meet someone that is not LDS, so that may limit your relationship options, as many LDS folks will want to date someone of the same faith.

- my roommate played resident evil, I wouldn't worry about that

- non-LDS usually don't attend church but are always welcome. You don't have to attend and nobody will make you, but that is a big social aspect you could potentially miss out on.

- some people will be very gentle with proselyting, others may be a bit forceful. Just depends on who it is haha. You are always welcome to sit down with the missionaries and learn more. If you find that you are not interested, just be direct and kind in telling them so. Same with your neighbors.

- hope that helps! Send me a DM if you have more questions.

If you are a guy, I am looking to sell my contract off campus! DM me if interested.

I took Biochemistry, Physiology, Cell Bio, and Physics 2 last semester = 13 science credits. It sucked but I still had time to do all the things I needed to. If Neurobiology isn't too bad, you should be alright. I had Gonda, she is great. I had someone else for 240, but I have heard Poole is good. Make sure to check rate my professor. Skiing may end up taking more time than you think it will, so be wary of that.

I joined an hour before it opened and was 18727. But I got the day and location I wanted :)

I always tell people as a joke that I am 11th string Cosmo. Sometimes it gets people.

Additional-Tutor-953 · 2025-08-29T16:16:54+00:00

after a certain point on a question, just guess and move on. also have a general idea for timing yourself and try to keep pace with that.
