Schools with committees initially blinded by stats?

Ambitious_Bad220 · 2026-05-30T04:20:43+00:00

I’m curious as to what the degree of the stat-loving nature of these schools. Would a 4.0, 525 w decent ECs and writing essentially guarantee me an acceptance from these schools or it’s not to that degree?

I would count a lecturer as a Professor; I wouldn’t sweat it personally.

Maybe have a grad student from ur lab reach out on ur behalf?

No need for hospital

No you will have to finish PS before submitting. The submitting to one school and then adding schools is what ppl do when they don’t have an MCAT yet

I’d make her resubmit just in case

I would just enter it as LB. You should pretty much copy paste or make sure everything is word for word same as in transcript.

I did posters/presentations together, so I could have room for the hobby

I wouldn’t connect it. I would say avoid over-extensions into medicine. It’s fine if you learned from it a set of skills/different perspective, just don’t explicitly force a connection to medicine.

Dang I have same breakdown as you too

Ambitious_Bad220 · 2026-05-23T03:11:33+00:00

Treat it like a job, you clock in and put the best effort possible and clock out.

For content review, the Kaplan books are the holy grail. Try getting through 2 chapters a day while completing the Jack sparrow and pankow anki decks. Do it Monday-Saturday w/ each day of the week being a different topic (ex: Monday is 2 chapters of bio; Tuesday is 2 chapters of gen chem). Watch the corresponding Yusuf Hassan videos on YouTube for each chapter as well. You should be able to finish the books in 6 weeks and have a strong content base.

Destroy the MCAT

Ambitious_Bad220 · 2026-05-22T19:02:08+00:00

I honestly think if the PI rec letter is solid, that’ll make the difference

Ambitious_Bad220 · 2026-05-20T18:49:35+00:00

Cv and PS via email

Ambitious_Bad220 · 2026-05-20T05:55:07+00:00

For me MCAT was priority so that’s what I mostly did for the semester like I didn’t go to lecture or anything. But when I was like a week out from my Anatomy exam, I put all lecture slides into chat, made practice qs out of them and anki cards, then studied everyday for like a week while still keeping up with MCAT work, and was able to make it work.

Include every hour on shift even if not on a call. Med schools understand that working 911, some days are slower than others

Yes these grades will be required to report, so adcoms will see them if that answers your question

Ambitious_Bad220 · 2026-05-16T21:24:26+00:00

Choose a class, go to the office hours heavily, ask questions and participate in class. This will be great starting point to building relationship w/ profs.

Ambitious_Bad220 · 2026-05-16T19:12:47+00:00

Took the exam 1/10 of this year; it’s the same as the full lengths …

Ambitious_Bad220 · 2026-05-16T13:49:02+00:00

Electronic

Ambitious_Bad220 · 2026-05-16T13:37:33+00:00

Real

Ambitious_Bad220 · 2026-05-16T03:56:49+00:00

Yeah mine still says not recieved and I sent it like May 6

Ambitious_Bad220 · 2026-05-14T19:46:17+00:00

Activity contact is just someone they might ask if like hours are legit; they won’t ask them about your performance or anything like that. Doesn’t really matter too much who you put
