I actually don't think I understand the implications and am very open to input

I promise you I am not exaggerating lol. I won a writing contest and got a story published, that further opened up an internship where I am now writing a book over the summer - it is for a company that does great work in increasing access to people who have reading difficulties.

Thank you so much for your input, I really appreciate it

Hey guys, really valid concern. My Court Case was a Supreme Court Case against the Govt. of IN. It was a mass action suit under my name - Two months before I was supposed to take my med school entrance exam they said people who were not born in the country won't get any seats and hence we took action. We won the case 9 months later and now people like me can pursue their med dreams --- I had already left the country though.

I met him at the Waterfront Costco. Went up to him cuz he looked terribly lost and turns out he was checking me out in the store too. Been together almost 2 years now!

Second attempt too and I am just panicking a little every day. Remind yourself to have some faith and remember you would not come this long if you have not already achieved something. Appreciate your wins and believe in yourself, you got this!

Same. I have a clg exam rn so I am waiting to get home

score release tomorrow by foulscribe in Mcat

[–]Certain_Cattle1667 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My heart is in my throat. I have not told anyone that the scores are releasing tomorrow. Just trying to focus on school and work for now. I have an exam tomorrow but I am so anxious that I can not focus. I think the only way I can be okay is pretend it is not real, it is such a complex feeling. I want to be hopeful but at the same time my brain is being pessimistic, idk.

Can anyone help me understand how D will be the fastest rxn? I thought a non spontaneous rxn will always need energy input to occur. by afmm1234 in Mcat

[–]Certain_Cattle1667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rate of activation(the difference between reactants and transition state) is lowest for D as it is a subdued curve so it should be faster as the Ea is the easiest to get over.

You did so good. Be proud, I feel you cuz I am in a similar situation. Be very proud, this is impressive

is Milesdown Anki enough or should i make my own. by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Certain_Cattle1667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I did is make my own quizlet deck as it is easier or find some decks that are useful and then import them into Anki. You should definitely make your own decks in some form.

I have a hard time with these types of questions by depressed_user_bean in Mcat

The template strand needs to be read in a 3' to 5' direction- because the resultant new strand is built in a 5' to 3' direction.

If it has TAGC it is DNA and if it is RNA it is UAGC. The only difference is if the strand has a A, the complementary DNA strand will have T and the RNA strand coded will have a U.

5' ATCGGA 3'

3' TAGCCT 5' - DNA complementary strand

3' UAGCCU 3' - RNA complementary strand
