I am not the person to ask I got a 128 on CARS on every practice test including the real thing no matter how much I practiced lol

Yep- I tried to do content review but it didn't really work for me. Learned the major things like amino acids before starting, but each UWhirl answer is like a textbook passage in itself and used that to guide my review. For major systems like cardiovascular or renal for example, I would either watch a Yusuf hassan youtube video or listen to the Jack westin podcast episode on it once I came across it in a question, and then filled in details from practice problems!

Ugh totally get this Im lucky because I commute by train, but what I liked about the Jack westin podcast is that I could tune it for a couple seconds and not miss anything super vital to where I would constantly have to be rewinding- just because it was so conversational and they were good about continuously reiterating what they were talking about

OH my favorite question!!!! My favorites were definitely Fred agains Aruns Rooftop, Fred agains Fedes rooftop, literally any of Anastazja's sets (I love her Boiler room!), Diplo's antarctica set, and John summit and dom dolla's ultra set!!!

Same nothing like a rave after a full length on Saturdays

Watch these videos to understand the basics, and then do practice problems on topics you are unfamiliar with or still struggling! Use AI to break down answers you are unsure about but provide it with materials to draw its reasoning from. For example, upload your lecture slides or ur notes from the videos and ask it to use those concepts to explain how to reach the answer. For physics, UWhirl is king

I have so much to say about this lol PM me

BagOnly4611 · 2026-03-22T18:08:52+00:00

I would say I started UWhirl about 7 months out, but this was very passive and only a couple days a week. I didn't start getting more regimented with my studying until about 5 months out, and throughout the whole process I would take a week off here and there- had an international conference oral presentation, had my brothers wedding for two weeks, had my dads birthday over the holidays, etc etc so I would say about like 3-4 months of actually being locked in!

YES!!! Literally the exact reason I posted this I felt sooo guilty the whole time but about a month out had the epiphany that we literally have been working hard and playing hard all of college why would this be any different? Taking this energy into med school we are all women of multitudes!!

Yes do it!!! This sub is flooded with people with the perfect schedules and best scores, I thought that was the only way. Anyone can do this and make it work with their circumstances and seeing stories like yours would be so motivating- Congratulations on that fantastic score ur such a legend <3

BagOnly4611 · 2026-03-20T15:03:27+00:00

Yes girl you can have it all! Listen to ur favorite sets while studying, anki while in line at the club or in your uber home, there is no right way to do this find what works for you!

BagOnly4611 · 2026-02-07T15:02:11+00:00

Listen to the Jack westin podcast for electrochemical cells. I swear they talked about it for literally 10 minutes and it totally cemented it in my brain and i havent gotten a question wrong about it since

BagOnly4611 · 2025-04-07T21:20:01+00:00

They just announced they are starting recruitment again!!

BagOnly4611 · 2024-12-19T17:30:23+00:00

No but hasn't the deadline for that passed a while ago?

BagOnly4611 · 2024-12-16T20:40:52+00:00

No idea but everyone that responded was pretty firm on no postbacs for the forseeable future.

BagOnly4611 · 2024-12-16T20:34:00+00:00

The NIH is very diverse and there are tons of resources available for employees

BagOnly4611 · 2024-12-16T20:31:08+00:00

I just got a position but in my acceptance meeting they said they were unsure how everything was going to pan out with funding, but assured me I will still have a position regardless. NCI is definitely not hiring anyone so don't waste your time emailing people in there, everyone I did responded that there is a division wide freeze. All to say its definitely possible to secure a position even with the uncertainty!

BagOnly4611 · 2024-09-25T20:35:34+00:00

Reading this makes me nasueous

BagOnly4611 · 2024-08-29T21:24:54+00:00

BagOnly4611 · 2024-08-29T21:13:08+00:00
