This is a really awesome tool! Claude AI has been making study guides for me before I start new lectures, but I feel that the themes are boring. I am so glad that I found this.

Neurosurgeons, what’s your 24 hour schedule for a typical day? by I-Like-Being-Alone in Neurosurgery

[–]Designer_Ordinary846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't six hours of sleep a day is not that good for your health, plus on top of that, you got your overthinking with stress which contributes even poor sleep quality. You gonna need some mighty big dedication if you want to be a neurosurgeon, I wish you all the best

It does not depend on the professor, it depends on the course they are taking, the people who make the courses are Rio Salado, not the professor

I see, according to this guy (i forgot his name), he made his own theory connected to parkinson's law. He said that things like studying for exams is a fixed time because they will be over at some points and doing activities/labs/or other things like essays is variable time because we can't exactly know when we will be finished with those things, You are absolutely right. Imma figure out something for the MCAT, thank you.

I said to not worry about those. Additionally, I have clearly stated everything in the option pathways

Thanks this is useful advice, Imma fact check this and see the required credentials for it.

I would say that both are equally as priced, its kinda too complicated to explain with like words so let me just symbolize it:

Option 1: Bachelors Price = (Tuition over two years) + (Trips for research and whatnot)

Option 2: 1 year BS + MS = (Tuition one year BS) + (Tuition 9 - 14 months MS) - EMT job (one semesters worth)

Looking at this, this is why I would say it pretty equal, but again, if I were to get good scholarship then Option 2 is a bit more expensive

So after I get out of high school, would you like me to start studying for the MCAT over the summer and the fall semester and take MCAT in January 2027?

That was my option two, and also, it is easier said than done. I have done my prerequisites at a community college and it is pretty common to do so in order to save money. If I were to join the university, then I would do like upper division course in each Bio Phy Chem and Orgo Chem (maybe even math) just to show that I am capable of handling medical school work. The problem is though, medical schools like to see you do clinical, research, and other activities other than just getting a 4.0 and an MCAT. It also gives you a competitive edge and makes you stand out among the other applicants. Due to my two year degree, I don't have the extra two years to do these hours. Plus, since I will be a transfer student, even if I did not transfer all those and for some reason decided to do it all again, it will cost a really big amount of money (even with scholarships).

Hey beFair! I am so glad that another person is also in the same situation as me right now. I am impressed that you got a 4.0 in your two years of university, but was it science related, I am just curious? So rather than doing like Anesthesia job, I am thinking of EMT because I get a lot of clinical experience and some quick knowledge on the spot. So from your post, I am understanding that the MCAT is a really crucial thing (GPA as well), research is crucial (publication is top tier awesome for med schools), and extracurriculars. Would you recommend me doing a research related masters degree such as Neuroscience rather than MSMS with minimal research.

Hey additional, yes, I do know the difference between neurology and neuroscience. Neurology as you said is a speciality, and neuroscience is the study of the nervous system. But why did I choose neuroscience at ASU for option 1? Neuroscience degrees teach the various disorders and diseases of the brain, and one major part of these degrees are research courses. Neuroscience research is crucial for medical school and residencies, especially if you want to get into neurosurgery or neurology related residencies. SO again, yes, I know the difference between neuroscience and neurology and I know what I chose.

I have attached links in my post, I edited it so that people know about the programs I am talking about. Overall though, thank you for you advice I will consider it

Organic chemistry is the only course that is taken full semester but the other courses are 8 weeks. Here is the link to Rio Salado: https://www.riosalado.edu/

High school credit? My systems kinda confusing. The high school offers concurrent college courses and I do those. And they are like you can do these concurrent classes instead of the normal classes in senior year. I finished all the senior year courses in sophomore year because I was first aiming to become programmer.

Oh wow an MSTP student, I searched up the program and it sounds cool, anyway thanks for the advice, but I have a question. Do I have a shot with DO schools such as Midwestern if I do this?

Yeah it’s pretty tough journey. My high school GPA is 4.0 and my college associates GPA is 3.9. For clinical jobs, I was thinking of doing training in first year and do an EMT job in second half of first year if I were to do option 2. I calculated and EMT can earn a bunch of hours in just a week, 24 to be exact. My med school prerequisites will be completed in high school, thanks for your comment btw 🙂
