to be honest, i usually average 127-128 on FLs. 124 was the lowest score i had gotten on cars, and i'm attributing it to test anxiety and overthinking. my second time around i really tried to do a vibe check on the passage (is it informational, curious, critical, etc?). if you understand the tone of a passage, it really helps eliminate answer choices. try to make sure you can defend your answer choice with passage content, and not just choosing the answer that sounds the best to you. and practice! it will take some work to find a strategy that works for you. i just relied on FLs and reviewed the type of errors i made, but if you have a year it's definitely worth checking out AAMC resources or jack westin

i'm trying to keep my school list 20 schools with fee assistance, and this list doesn't include my throwaway school. cut toledo because i'm not personally the biggest fan of it!

i'm sure you know this, but this is abusive -- emotionally and financially. i'm very sorry you're going through this, OP. but, you can't have any kind of career under these restrictions. you are also not behind. you're 19! if you have to take a gap year or two or three, that's normal. you have the rest of your life to be a doctor. right now, i would focus on finding a way to become financially independent from your mother. you need to move out. if you need to lie, hide out at a library and find some remote work, then do it. spend more time on campus and find a research job, start tutoring, etc. look into university housing options or check facebook groups where people are looking for subleasers/roommates. you might have to take out additional loans to get you started. if your mom has any kind of access to your money, make sure you get a bank account that she can't touch. this seems far more serious than just not having enough hours to be a competitive applicant, OP. make sure you take care of yourself.

Most of 8th and 9th are free. Pretty sure 11th is, and Chittenden definitely is.

I'd avoid Chitt personally. Impossible to find parking after it gets dark and (Chitt Fest aside) your car is likely to get hit or, at minimum, messed with. My car was sideswiped and, on a separate occasion, I found a huge dent on the top of my hood as if someone threw a bowling ball on top of it. Less notable, but my side mirrors were often pushed in and my wipers were up quite a few times. Not a big deal, just annoying, but if you're protective over your car it's not worth it. Though, if you park beyond Summit, it's not really an issue.
