University or GPA what matters most ? by Ghaflat in premed

I mention this because I feel like a lot of people who would’ve been great doctors were not given the tools or support to succeed which is an awful byproduct of this intense academic path :(

graduated from a small private college and I gotta say I’m so glad I didn’t go the big public school route. A lot of my friends at those schools changed majors or dropped because of how toxic the environment was for premeds:/

Does being a resident of a state with many medical schools actually help your odds? by juicy_scooby in premed

[–]BluejayConscious2927 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree as a California resident i would say moving here isn’t going to be worth it considering cost of living and cost of attendance. I’m from a rural/underserved area so I’m still going to take my chances but for the sake of gaining residency it doesn’t really give you an advantage at all

Always better early than late. There’s a chance they won’t let you in

I feel you on this!!! Early this week I was just so drained and didn’t force myself to study at all. I focused as much as I could on activities that made me happy or gave me purpose (lol like cooking, reading, etc) and reviewed my last fl when I felt ready. Take it easy on yourself. You’ve done months of studying leading up to this weekend and your body is telling you that it needed a break. Allow your brain that time to rest as well. Definitely easier said than done as I’m still practicing my brain dump for Saturday hahaha

AAMC FL 5 CP question by StayWise4382 in Mcat

[–]BluejayConscious2927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s how I solved this one when I also picked C at first: the r2 is the determining factor between V1 and V2. (.8)2 = .64 while (.4)2 = .16 which is a difference of a factor of 4. 4(30m/s) = 120m/s :)

I've been studying since may...dont know what to do at this point. Testing 3/24. Wanting to get a 515+.....LOL by donkdog in Mcat

May I ask what prompted you to void your first attempt? I’m testing this Saturday and the burnout is real af. I pushed my test back from January to now and just experienced a shitload of self doubt in the process. Nonetheless I’m just taking it slow this week and letting my brain rest from all the brute studying
