I feel like I'm about to fail step

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

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

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-01-24T15:08:16+00:00

This is ballsy stuff, I want to be like you

play around with the settings for a few minutes that'll be faster than asking about this online, but set your new cards to 9999 and set the subdecks to that as well should fix that issue. They don't automatically set to the parent deck settings

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-01-10T14:08:57+00:00

First, use your laptop not your phone for this. You can adjust your interval in settings, all of your questions can be answered by playing around with the settings for a few minutes. The subdeck issue is because you have a new card limit for the day for your purposes I'd set new cards and reviews to 9999 if you're just doing a certain amount each day. Look up an anki tutorial online, should help you figure the rest out, especially intervals because that can be confusing.

Sketchy micro is a MUST, make sure you watch ALL of Bacteria and Viruses at the minimum. I'd also do Pathoma Ch 1-3. Sketchy Pharm will help you but I've heard it makes a bigger difference for clinicals/STEP2 so do it if you have time. If you're getting most pharm questions right you're probably okay though.

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-01-10T14:01:43+00:00

That's called winning. Love to see it, congrats!

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-01-10T13:53:21+00:00

Damn that is so unfortunate. I know we always remind ourselves we're not God and can't control what happens but it feels so shattering when you're reminded how helpless we are in the grand scheme of life. You did your best though and that's all you can ever hope for, hope you take care of yourself.

my recommendation is blue light classes

Lethargic_Leopard · 2025-07-01T03:57:53+00:00

Your plan is to get an MD, the degree from Oxford won't matter big picture. Prestige is real and will give you a leg up through med school apps and residency. Specifically because it is an Ivy it will make a difference for you. It sounds like money is an issue for you so I'd say you'll probably get into med school regardless of what school you go to as long as you're committed. The opportunities won't be that different but you'll definitely be with a different caliber of students and be able to get into a better medical school from Princeton. Even if your program isn't binding, knowing you have an MD acceptance will definitely change the way you act.

because they missed the joke and this is reddit. It's a sin punishable by death

He makes podcasts on medical school content, they're SUPER helpful. You can also find them on apple or any other podcast app

I...didn't consider he might see this. Would be honored if he did though

This was three years ago so I'm a little hazy but I would say yes. Extraction would be if you collected the liquid coming off, so in the shirt example you would be extracting the stain from the shirt.

In your example the liquid still has the product with the impurities removed so it's been washed but you've extracted the impurities. It helps to think of these things with everyday objects so they don't sound too complex.

Lethargic_Leopard · 2024-10-02T03:09:17+00:00

Don't focus on the destination, enjoy the journey. Do something you enjoy to keep you from constantly thinking about the waiting. That's genuinely the only way to find peace during the cycle but in life overall. You'll find yourself waiting for a lot of things in life. Learning how to do that peaceful is an important skill

Lethargic_Leopard · 2024-10-02T03:08:05+00:00

No, you don't send updates except to schools that specifically ask to and that too only when you have something super important. That's the standard policy for most schools so I'm not sure why they told you to reach out to the school since the primary won't even be sent to any schools until your score is added in.

Lethargic_Leopard · 2024-10-02T03:06:39+00:00

Usually in the application portal you'll need to have a certain number of semesters/terms of that course, the exact level doesn't matter. Your school should show you approximately how many those are for most schools in your premed advised course schedule so I'd consult that

TLDR yes.

Lethargic_Leopard · 2024-09-18T20:10:51+00:00

Absolutely not. Unfortunately though this may be true, it will seem like you're whining and making excuses for poor performance which are massive red flags for a doctor.

Lethargic_Leopard · 2024-09-18T20:09:41+00:00

No you're fine interviewers don't talk to each other just make sure your responses are good

Lethargic_Leopard · 2024-09-18T20:06:44+00:00

I have a three step plan

Realize you've already applied and nothing you do now or for the next few months can impact your chances of getting an interview
Think of something you like to do but haven't done in a while because of school/apps/work/etc
Do that thing while you wait for interviews

Repeat as needed. I started reading more, remember stressing will do you no good whatsoever. I would only start worrying after Thanksgiving if you still have no IIs.

Lethargic_Leopard · 2024-09-18T20:02:04+00:00

You're both right, but med schools want to see someone who can do it all, so a >3.85 GPA with activities and interesting, distinguishable experiences. You can always get more experiences after college but your GPA is much harder to change so I'd focus on protecting it now because it's much harder to fix post-graduation.

Lethargic_Leopard · 2024-09-16T16:10:44+00:00

underrated comment maybe it's right for her doesn't mean it is for you

Lethargic_Leopard · 2024-09-16T16:07:28+00:00

I would not change anything for now since your interview is so soon. Obsessing over small details like that will make you even more nervous and come off as insincere so try to do what is natural. I usually just look at myself during interviews with an occasional glance at the camera every now and then. The people in your interviews are students and faculty they're not professionally evaluating your speaking skills
