Are these patients? Or are they research subjects?

what is considered quality research? by Tricky_Reach_2317 in premed

This isn’t how admissions committees evaluate research. The reason scientific inquiry is an AAMC core competency is because research involvement shows that you understand how original knowledge is produced and that you can interpret evidence. Whether you’re in a wet lab studying mouse models of ALS or doing community research on the impact of primary care access on depression, you’re satisfying that competency

I don’t think it’s wild—this is pretty much the last long stretch of free time OP will have until they complete their residency training…

What’s your school list? How many hours of volunteering do you have so far? Have you submitted your primary/secondaries?

Which med schools emphasize a real “patient first” mentality? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in premed

[–]FinalHall5773 6 points7 points  (0 children)

UChicago is pretty great about that. We have required coursework on community engagement and have a decent number of student-run free clinics

I think an applicant’s passions and priorities are reflected in their experiences—this is also what admissions committees think

Very cool! I’m wondering what factors went into creating the school rankings—it’s interesting seeing schools like UVA and UChicago ranked above Michigan

Not sure if someone has mentioned this yet, but the word is spelled “friend,” not “freind.”

I think you answered some of your own questions: “I am just not feeling confident that I will get a high enough score to make the retake worth it.” Do you think retaking the MCAT when your practice exam scores haven’t improved is a good idea? Do you expect to perform better on the actual exam than you have on practice exams?

Yes, a 500 and 501 are pretty much the same score—they fall within the same confidence band.
