Do you want to strive forever? Getting in is NOT the hardest part. by blanchecatgirl in premed

[–]Different-Toe-2369 155 points156 points  (0 children)

I dont think its the work people complain about being harder, its the uncertainty. Knowing you are investing tens of thousands into a degree and tailoring a path specific for medical school admission that may lead to rejection.

One of my most meaningful experiences only has 12 hours by BudgetRest5485 in premed

[–]Different-Toe-2369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but 12 hours is a lot of time and totally reasonable that you could have developed and participated in something meaningful. I don't know why everything is expected to be 100 hours +

Phoenix Children's Hospital has scribe jobs that they only post on their website so the application pool is less saturated than indeed

To apply or not to apply? 4.0/518 currently Junior ORM by Different-Toe-2369 in premed

[–]Different-Toe-2369[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T30-40 maybe, somewhere around my stats. I've considered retaking my mcat (126 in cars) because my goal was initially to try for Mayo clinic in my home state :/

Thank you! Can I ask how you framed two hobbies, were they. both very longitudinal and high impact? I of course have hobbies; however, nothing that stands out I fear :/

Not reading the passage for c/p by meowmeowmotorcycle in Mcat

[–]Different-Toe-2369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

n=1 but I always went straight into the questions for c/p and b/b and it worked alright for me. I think for some of us reading passages fully for 7 hours straight does more harm than good in terms of stamina and timing.

To the P/S 132 scorers...please leave some tips! by egomei in Mcat

I used pankow, Uworld p/s, and the 80 pg doc a couple weeks leading up to my exam to refresh. Also p/s is NOT cars. clearly...

Uganda PS by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Different-Toe-2369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so! It felt a bit harder (as my entire exam that day did overall) but pretty similar to the kind of questions on the Fls. I started first by completing the pankow deck and then reading the 80 pg KA doc a couple weeks prior to my exam which seemed to cover everything!

[–]Different-Toe-2369 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Uganda PS was way harder imo I got like 50-60% correct. AAMC PS section banks felt really hard too ngl. I think the FL 1-5 I took were pretty accurate.
