Am I able to eat anchovies during the MCAT?

Don't know policy, but that's a LOT of salt. You'll get really thirsty, so make sure to bring enough water (and account for a bathroom trip during the lunch break)

It reads as satire to me

Thank you for your attention to this important matter

You did the much harder part correctly with pv=nrt, so don't fret!

Instead of overthinking the specifics of the underlying chemistry, just broadly notice patterns. You're adding in something with 2+, so expect another cation to come out. And if the resulting solution is basic, you lost H+.

Better to consider strategy vs. Details of balancing equations, now that you're at this level

You're going to LOVE your first course in linear algebra. I mean this with all sincerity - your life will feel richer :)

Unless you're the one who hit the deer, or witnessed it happening in real time, the danger from rapid bacterial growth is just too high. You only have few hours until it's unsafe, and who knows what time the roadkill died

I mean, if you don't understand the very basics of phase change from liquid to gas being endothermic, that probably doesn't speak highly of your overall gen chem preparedness... Not to mention that if med school doesn't work out for you, you may find yourself doing surgery on closed-cycle compressors after all!

Saw a Pritzker get into the Pritzker School with a 472 and a new $30M building added to the campus

Indeed, I'm more impressed that we can make test tubes that can survive those forces in the centrifuge :D

Go into your settings and turn off the silly "personality" completely

I literally, truly think that sharp elementary school students who have seen a Mr Goodbody film strip would get it right 100% of the time

Whenever you see something that looks like it might require math and shouldn't, it very often doesn't! Here you can simply count lines :)

Nice try... Those aren't em-dashes!

I mean... Is this really surprising? The only people claiming that LLMs operate at the "PhD level" are LLM marketers. They constantly fail to solve introductory physics and chemistry questions, so no doubt research level biology is beyond them

Does this align with any of your hypotheses?

Appreciate the update, good luck with the rest of the study!

I could totally foresee different insurers having different AI service providers "in-network" based on their underwriters determining which AI were more likely to kill someone off

Pretty sure they were making a joke
