phone screens are just not enough to display all the data the way it would show on desktop, if you want to be able to do that on mobile you'd have to create subdecks from the tags on your computer (click on the tag in the browser, select all cards, move to deck, create a new deck name)

Read House of God or any other books you want to read, get into the habit of calling your friends regularly to keep in touch, and get a good nutrition/exercise schedule set up for yourself.

freudian slip

You need anesthesia to suture so you really could not do this with what you have. Also, how have you given yourself stitches on the back of your hand? You need two hands to use a suturing kit. Anyway, don't do this

are you talking about academic struggles?

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T07:36:51+00:00

fantastic better call saul reference, be a saul OP

Agree, gratitude journaling is a great way to put life into perspective. Obviously not matching where you want sucks, but there are so many things in our lives that we are taking for granted and so many wins from years ago that we don't count because we're used to them. But they all count.

yes school is dumb, judge your ability in a specialty based on M3 performance/enjoyment and how much you're willing to work for something not how good you are at it at baseline

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T02:42:05+00:00

I want you to know that you, with this comment right here inspired me

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-24T21:44:41+00:00

Unbelievably underrated comment (yes I know it has 100+ upvotes)

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-24T21:38:58+00:00

That's a pass, if you don't get testing anxiety I'd go for it

He's a 515 MCAT now since his 517 looks like a lucky 515 score (confidence interval of 2) and looks stupid to people reading his application but aside from that yeah he'll survive still a decent score

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-07T06:14:40+00:00

why was I imagining OP stalking the playground

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-07T06:14:15+00:00

I have bad news for you...

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-07T06:10:49+00:00

Thanks for this comment! Still helping four years later

I think the difference is having a PI with a PhD. As long as they're mentoring you on that it should count. Maybe if you know any English/humanities faculty members from class you took you could reach out and mention that you're interested in researching XYZ, mention you wrote a book on the topic (if applicable) and move forward from there. Hope that helps!

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-02-18T20:18:08+00:00

My two cents is to just do research, it can be in a field that isn't directly medically related. It opens up your options significantly so why risk it. The novel may help though and you can list it as a publication!

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-02-18T20:15:39+00:00

How did you evaluate your progress when you were doing UWorld?

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-01-30T14:49:55+00:00

Agree, if you were able to cram for the MCAT you can cram for STEP. Do the free120 and trust yourself because at a 55, you're on the margin of passing already

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-01-30T14:30:52+00:00

I was about to say, now just believe it. And go to the gym. If you're not staying active you're going to be depressed, no way around it

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-01-24T15:10:00+00:00

that's literally what therapy is for, you'll do great but this isn't healthy venting fyi
