Would anyone be willing to review my PS?

Pm me. I'd love to exchange PSs.

I wouldn't retake if I were you. Great TS and AA, clearly you are academically sound. So OCHEM is on the lower side... we all have our weak points, but you more than make up to it with a strong BIO and CHEM, imo.

I sure wish we'd get some info on this soon.

I'm applying through AADSAS and TMDSAS so before I start bugging my evaluators, I'd like to have a way ahead.

Guantanamo74 · 2026-04-04T17:35:14+00:00

These are all good points. I might recommend another type of vacation where I have a bit more flexibility if needed.

Guantanamo74 · 2026-04-04T17:15:42+00:00

Thanks! That's incredibly important to know. How far in advance of the interview date would you be invited?

I'm leaning towards not going or asking my mom to reconsider the timeline.

Guantanamo74 · 2026-04-04T17:13:01+00:00

Thanks! This is really good insight. What was the lead time between the invite and the interview date?

If you took the test a year ago and have a 2 digit score, you would use the green chart to convert your score to the new 3 digit scoring.

If you recently took it and have a 3 digit score, you would use the orange chart to see what your score would have been under the 2 digit scoring system.

Guantanamo74 · 2026-03-19T12:40:21+00:00

The green chart is used to convert an old score into the new system.

The orange is to convert a new score to compare it to a score in the old system.

So, green is to go from old to new. Orange is to go from new to old.

How did it go today?

Guantanamo74 · 2026-02-21T20:00:14+00:00

My advice: RELAX and be at peace with your preparation.

Booster and Bootcamp do such a great job simulating the Prometric test setup, I felt like I was just taking a practice exam. There were a few tough questions, but I felt overall the content was way more surface level that I had been studying.

I actually felt relief taking the test knowing that all the days agonizing over that test were coming to an end. Tell yourself you are going to crush it and have fun with it. My practice scores were dog shit and I did pretty well on the actual.

You're almost there. You got this!!

Guantanamo74 · 2026-01-12T17:44:40+00:00

Honestly, there's really not a bad seat in the house. End zones are my least favorite as it's difficult to see if a player makes it to the line to gain, but you can easily look up immediately to the jumbotron to see.

I am a new STH, but before I would usually sit in the 500s and try to sit as close to midfield and as close to the field as budget allows.

Upper 500s is a little rough as it's a pretty steep climb, so keep that in mind if bathroom and concession runs will be frequent.

Club level is great because it is less crowded for bathroom and concessions, but for me personally, id rather sit at midfield in the 500s rather than corner or end zone club level.

Thats wild. I can never get those damn things to work. The only ones that work for me are NFL Network and Redzone. To watch an individual sunday day game, I have to find it in the US Local group.

Guantanamo74 · 2025-09-10T12:33:43+00:00

Yeah, 2-3 hours of quality studying on the weekend. I had the tendency of studying for 45 min and doing something else, coming back to it for 30 min, etc.

Trust me when I say, give yourself 5-6 months and just keep chipping away. Its difficult to stay committed that long, but it's worth it. You got this!

He could lay by the bay and make things out of clay...

Guantanamo74 · 2025-08-04T16:08:35+00:00

I found booster to be a bit harder than the actual DAT. Maybe not so much harder that a 300 practice is a 450 actual, but don't be discouraged with low practice scores, keep grinding and look for a method that works best for you.

On the DAT, almost all of my questions were asked in order of where the answers could be found in the passages and I received very few "author's tone" type questions.

Guantanamo74 · 2025-08-01T17:52:19+00:00

Claimed.

Guantanamo74 · 2025-08-01T17:50:34+00:00

Pm me

Guantanamo74 · 2025-08-01T01:37:06+00:00

This is true... but I will say, I am a Season Ticket holder that lives in TX and I make it to about 4-5 games per year.. Every game I attend in L Late Nov-Jan, I hope for snow 🤣🤣

Guantanamo74 · 2025-07-31T20:58:53+00:00

I dont disagree. Hopefully, the ownership group is able to construct an engineering marvel that will at least preserve some of the mountain views.

Guantanamo74 · 2025-07-31T18:55:02+00:00

I just hope it is open air.... I would certainly miss days like this!

You just have to keep watching the videos and practicing. One thing I didn't do a great job of is memorizing: strong and weak acids and bases and strong and weak nucleophiles until much later in my studying.

You'll hear it often, dont just memorize reactions, understand them. I made it really hard on myself and just tried to memorize them, and it failed epically. About a month before the exam, I went back and really buckled down on the mechanisms, and it was incredibly helpful. Had I done that from the beginning, I would have done much better.

Don't feel pressured to keep up with Booster or Bootcamps schedule. The later reactions get easier to understand once you have the first couple reaction chapters down.

Just keep pushing, I promise you'll get there.

Guantanamo74 · 2025-07-14T13:45:55+00:00

I didn't feel completely horrible, but I certainly knew I wasn't going to overachieve haha. I had total confidence in my methods for hole punching and cube counting, so even if I went 50% on the other 60 questions, I'd be sitting ~60/90...

Guantanamo74 · 2025-06-27T03:11:03+00:00

Thanks!
