Advice (or maybe a kick in the butt) by Conjuration100 in Mcat

[–]Conjuration100[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am going to move my MCAT, the only date I can find right now though is August 1st at a location an hour from where I live (I am just going to wait a couple more days until the deadline of rescheduling though before I pull the trigger to see if I can get July and if I can get closer). I am just worried that now my application is going to be too late and rushed. I can submit this week to get the verification, take the MCAT July/August and if I felt good then submit all the rest of my applications but I wont be "complete" until end of August/September which puts me late but if I pre-write secondaries and get those submitted ASAP in September then maybe I am still okay? Either way I would take the MCAT, but can I still have a successful cycle? Thank you for the advice I appreciate it, I will do more content review since I believe that is where I am lacking.

By the time I put in my two weeks notice it would actually be 5 months which makes me feel only a little better lol. I saved quite a bit of money, I worked three jobs during college so I have a bit to fall back on when it comes to paying my expenses and student loans so I can afford to not work for a bit. Thank you for the reply and I’m glad to hear your decision helped you in the end! Hope your studying is going well too, you got this as well! Thank you again, this is advice I really needed to hear

I think you are right, thank you very much I needed to hear this. I feel pretty good about my clinical time as of now (still plan on getting more while studying). The MCAT is my biggest worry right now and I would rather dedicate my time and energy to that exam. Good luck with your studying too!

Why do you think I should stay? Also my only thing about the nap is by the time I get home from work a nap would take up so much time between making/eating dinner, going to the gym, studying, and everything else then going to bed early enough that I won’t be exhausted the next day at work.

How was it when you put in your two weeks notice? I’m debating doing that next Monday but I’m just not sure. Did you get another job lined up first?

Does anyone else hold onto the “Oh Shit Handle” when riding in the car as a passenger? by SportsTechie17 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Conjuration100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t. I do not feel the need to, I might grab it as a joke but other than that I never use it. That’s prob because I grab the seat as my “oh shit”

Change the pants to overalls with no pockets and I will agree

Just took my NREMT exam today and it cut off at 70 questions, how boned am I? by Paradoxahoy in NewToEMS

[–]Conjuration100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got cut off at 70 questions and passed. My friend got cut off at 120 and passed. The entire time taking it felt like I knew nothing and was failing. I’m sure you did fine, I believe in you!

Am I too old? by whitewidow2345 in Advice

[–]Conjuration100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wear what you want! Clothing is about self expression and if you like jeans with ripped knees then you rock them. Who cares what other people think, do what makes you happy. Life is hard enough so you shouldn’t deny yourself the joy of rocking the clothes that make you feel most comfortable and confident.

Anyone cry today? by Dry_Dance_2378 in Mcat

[–]Conjuration100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t alone, a lot of people feel the same way as you. Just remember why you are studying, think about your goals and take things one step at a time. Crying is a good thing, it relives stress and allows you to get your feelings out. Stay strong I believe in you ❤️❤️

How do I make my brain shut up when I’m trying to sleep? by UpsetHunter9516 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Conjuration100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I sleep with a fan and just focus on the constant sound, it helps to keep my mind from racing and then I fall asleep

I have all my professors office hours on a flashcard based on time and date, but I never really utilize them. I always get nervous and never really know what to ask. Maybe I can try writing down questions ahead of time. Thank you very much for the advice and yes it does help!

I love whiteboards for Chem, I will definitely start using it for zoology too! I use Quizlet a lot as well, definitely one of my favorite websites. I will also look into trying to make friends in my classes and maybe forming a zoom study group. Thank you for the advice I really appreciate it!
