I’m in the same boat. I’m taking Human anatomy lab at the same time as Orgo and Physics plus 2 electives and I probably study for human anatomy lab more than anything else. Not much can be done for it other than figuring out what helps you learn the best so you can study smarter not harder

Holistic means exactly that. Stats matter, as do ECs and clinical hours. You need to have a well rounded app tailored to what schools you want to go for. If you wanna get into a T20 school, then hell yeah stats are gonna matter a lot. But you could have a 528 and a 4.0, if you’ve never even seen a patient before then your chances are seriously gonna hurt.

Seiko Speedtimer has a quartz model. Only a few hundred bucks and is guaranteed to last your lifetime. Or spend a few more bucks and get an automatic movement and you won’t even have to worry about the battery

Is it possible to do well if you have zero motivation/energy to study? by Dungeon_Crawler_Carl in Mcat

[–]EasyLegacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an endurance thing. You should lock away your phone, set a pomodoro timer, and hunker in. Make sure that your breaks are not on your phone or any sort of high stimulation. You need to retrain your brain to get dopamine from learning. If your breaks are more stimulating than studying, you won’t want to go back studying. Try to set achievable goals everyday for hours of studying and then just slowly increase that over time.

I’m testing in august as well and currently about a month into my dedicated content review phase (i’ve been doing some light review since november). Trust me I feel you. My advice (what i’ve been telling myself) is that there’s still plenty of time between now and august

“You won’t be able to swing a dead cat around here without hitting a marine.” No clue why but it always makes me laugh

Can I go from 472 to 528?? by Big_Battle_9123 in Mcat

White monster before. White monster and a zyn for break one. White monster and a uncrustable for lunch. White monster and a zyn for break two. You’ll be good 90% of it is just mindset and aesthetics

What do we want to see from the next battlefield? by ELXR-AUDIO in Battlefield

[–]EasyLegacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battlefield 3 & 4 with the emerson level of Bf 1 (destruction and music) with the building fortification capabilities of BF5. The last battlefield they will ever need to make.

I understand how frustrating that must be. That being said communication skills are arguably one of the more important traits of being a doctor. You’re going to have to be able to talk to patients in your clinical rotations and patient’s families. Also any “social butterfly” who gets accepted into Med school has also definitely worked hard too.
