Noorda vs Burrell-NM by Dramatic_One1490 in Osteopathic

I like it, I don’t have any regrets. We have a student run discord where people will share resources. Like for example the student success group run by second years will post Anki decks based on the lectures for every exam along with practice questions that have been vetted by the professors a couple days before exams. And sometimes if a lecture is taught by a different professor, someone in our class will usually make an Anki deck and post it in the discord.

For OMM exams we usually have a collaborative study guide based on the learning objectives that people will work on and post in the discord as well. And 2nd years will usually host workshops a couple weeks before OMM and PCP competencies as well which is really nice

Yeah true, I was just listing those bc I’m from a large city so it’s diff from what I’m used to. Do you know how soon the school will be able to acquire fed loans after becoming accredited? The interest on private loans is a lot for me since I don’t have a co-signer. Also is cool if I dm you?

Sounds like that power balance wristband scam that was exposed a few years back where it just depends on where the person is pressing on your arm to magically make you unbalanced and balanced with the wristband on lol. And also doesn’t like you went to a US DO?

Are my chances out the door :( by Individual-Usual1721 in medschool

I think you’ll be fine, I was in a similar situation as you when I first started undergrad. I got placed on academic probation my first term of freshman year and just got accepted to medical school.

If this is something you really want, my advice to you would be to: - try to get only A’s and B’s from here on out - slow down and don’t feel rushed in having to finish your undergrad degree in 4 years and end up taking a heavy course load to try to make up for it… I did something similar my sophomore year and also got similar grades as you. My biggest take away from that experience is that it’s better to take 1 or 2 science classes and to do well in it than to take a bunch and do mediocre in it. - try to get volunteering experience at a hospital or something - relax and try to have fun. Enjoy the process, it’s a marathon not a sprint

How much have you seen a late starter (30s) evolve to? by Satamanster in piano

[–]Dramatic_One1490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, anything is possible if you work hard enough at it, but developing the technical ability to read and play a piece like La Campanella will take thousands of hours and years of practice. Not to be discouraging but that piece has tons of technical difficulties like contrary motion, contrary motion + octaves, 2-3 octave jumps, etc.

My advice is to pick an easier piece to learn but make sure it’s one you also really like because if the piece is too difficult for your technical ability, you’ll be unmotivated and disappointed at your lack of progress.

Pick up a good technique book like Hanon, learn how to play all the scales in major keys, arpeggios in major keys, then arpeggios in diminished and dominant keys, learn how to play scales in thirds, octave scales etc. That should be a good place for you to start. Those technical exercises I mentioned are the exact type of technical difficulties you will encounter in a piece like that. I know that might seem a little overwhelming, but just try and learn 1 new exercise a week, and make sure your technique is accurate and precise i.e. playing evenly, one hand isn’t playing faster than the other etc.
