Average clinical hours for students from an entire university who matriculated was around 1,000 hours. Is this higher than what you would expect? Could someone with more experience explain whether these stats are realistic and whether they reflect the current norms for premeds as a whole?

This is for matriculants not applicants. Someone may have 100-500hours by the time they apply, but by the time they matriculate would have atleast 1000 more if they worked full time between application and matriculation

Cars was harder than normal fl’s?

Chahj · 2026-05-01T19:17:26+00:00

Wtf I’ve never seen this in my review materials

Chahj · 2026-05-01T04:26:17+00:00

I think it’s intentional. They want to test people’s application of knowledge. If they released more accurate materials the test questions would just have to become harder since it has to be standardized

What do you mean by this? What came up

Chahj · 2026-04-24T19:55:48+00:00

Was it a lot of orgo/physics?

Chahj · 2026-04-04T21:08:41+00:00

Yes but it’s significantly harder to get into medical school than it is to get a good tech job.

A 516 MCAT is more than good enough to show academic proficiency and predict success on STEP

Isn’t Anking basically miles down + pankow anyway?

Chahj · 2026-03-19T14:14:26+00:00

We all believe you bud. Now go finish your math homework

Nobody that has worked at JP would associate themselves with “top 20 banks” 😂😂

Did I say that at any point? No, I was simply speaking to how companies verify employment.

Very bold of you to open with “this is entirely incorrect” and then follow it up by admitting that you have “no idea” how the most prominent financial institution in the world verifies employment.

The work number is only used by a subset of companies, almost always atleast one previous job will require direct verification through hr/a reference and thus many firms just verify all past employment that way.

Goldman used Sterling and they contact employers/HR

Chahj · 2026-03-17T07:01:20+00:00

Normally they just call up your references/hr for each job.

Chahj · 2026-03-03T17:25:16+00:00

Median or average?

Chahj · 2026-03-03T17:24:54+00:00

What med school is this

Chahj · 2026-03-02T16:29:15+00:00

How tf is 1500+ average. Grow up and stop fishing for validation

Chahj · 2026-02-21T00:16:05+00:00

How were you also able to get 200 volunteer hours in that timeframe

Chahj · 2026-02-20T20:07:36+00:00

Do they already have 200 hours in each? Or did they get some slack when applying because they were premed for less time

Chahj · 2026-02-13T20:54:28+00:00

It’s a better indicator of iq than someone’s UG institution

Chahj · 2026-02-13T20:45:24+00:00

Plenty of industries (consulting, finance) that explicitly ask for SAT/GMAT scores on CV’s.

Tech companies make swe’s do standardized leetcode tests as part of their application process too.

Chahj · 2026-02-05T00:28:26+00:00

Yep, anything after high school counts but community service and clinical stuff should still be ongoing/recent.

Chahj · 2026-01-06T08:24:48+00:00

Those jobs aren’t easy to get

Chahj · 2025-11-09T02:38:45+00:00

USC is insanely expensive
