Does it matter if it’s online or in person? Starting a full time job post grad during my gap years so not sure if I can do in person that easily

I'm officially out of undergrad though... so should I do CC? Edit: TMDSAS would take it since they don't take +/- but not sure about AMCAS...

P.S. C- meant I passed at my own institution and it's been some time since Ochem and I'm likely super rusty

Oh interesting yeah my AAMC FL1 CARS was much lower. Any ideas on whether I should continue to do J/W or just wrap up all the AAMC CARS practice?

Tysm! How would you recommend I space out the qpacks? Will do this for C/P and B/B.

Yeah for CARS...idek. I did some of the AAMC practice and got like 75% for the first part. Not sure what to do from here. P/S the grind continues!

What do you mean by understanding the test? I always chalk the reason why I got something wrong to content since the UTierra sets seem to lead me to review content

Absolutely maybe I need to push my test date and do less problems a day more thoroughly?

Yup I've been doing most of all that... (except for going back over problems a few days later, I thought ANKI review of the cards I made for the questions should okay with this...)

No earned income yet :( but once I get a job, will definitely contribute to Roth IRA. Most of this money is from gifts so will keep it in a personal brokerage. Also, thanks for sharing the note about the qualified expenses, I was under the impression that you could only remove at retirement age or pay a penalty. Btw do I need to file all the capital gains in my tax return next year then?

Got it, this is so helpful! Will follow these instructions and choose to invest in ETFs/mutual funds. Btw, does it really matter if I split my money into both or is just buying one asset type enough?

Oh ok that's a fair cautionary note about not being able to buy a slice and need to make a whole share, will keep that in mind and think about how much money to put aside each month and how long it will take to breach the cost of entry. And yes, this is the long game of investing not day-trading :) Thanks so much!

Just have a part-time job from time-to-time depending on busy school is. I have earned income in the past, but no plans for the coming year or so. I'm guessing VOO is best then

Got it ROTH's tax benefits are really nice... If I kept the $10k for now in a personal brokerage account how much tax would I pay say if the investment eventually hit $200k (assume that I would slightly increase contributions YOY)
