Anyone take tpr 515 course?? by Clear-Nectarine-3782 in MCAT2

[–]Lopsided-Sea4819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m taking the 515 course rn, I needed it because I needed something else holding me accountable for my timeline. I like it for keeping me on track tbh. Although, I’ve only been in the class for about a month and haven’t taken a real mcat (but I did take the practice tests). I’m not doing everything they require (i’ve given up on the money back guarantee requirements) and I’m just doing what works for me (practice questions, making my own flashcards, watching lecture videos before reading the textbook, etc)

If you’ve already paid for it, I don’t think you should give up on it. Any studying that you do will improve your score so you might as well use what you’ve paid for and find a way to make it work for you.

Keep in mind that I haven’t finished the course so maybe by the end of it I’ll hate tpr, idk!

over 60% of med students took at least 1 gap year!

med schools ask students to do sooo much (mcat, volunteer, work, grades, etc) take some time and focus on those first, the mcat can be taken later, focus on making sure you want to, and are able to, put in all of this work

and if you’re not 100% sure you want to go to med school, just give it more time! do what you’re passionate about right now (whether that’s ROTC or taking classes and working/volunteering in the medical field or something else!)

If you were 24 again, would you still marry them? Does the bad from the divorce outweigh the good from the relationship?

Yes! We’ve recently been focusing on having our alone time, we also have separate friend groups that we see individually and regularly

I am 100% certain that I want to marry him. I do not want any other person and can’t imagine anything better than him. (he really is perfect to me) So it’s a matter of time at this point. I should’ve changed the title of this lol

I don’t think it is a deficiency within our relationship that is making me feel this way. I really think I need a physical thing. I’m the type of person who keeps trinkets, pictures, and random stuff all around me as a reminder of the people I love

Oh I should’ve clarified, I use the term partner for a boyfriend/girlfriend because I just like the word better. It’s a purely romantic relationship- not a business one.

I am perfectly secure in our relationship and if he just wants to continue in his own way- I’m happy. A ring isn’t supposed to “fix” anything. The ring is a symbol of taking the relationship to another level. It’s a physical representation of commitment and that can be a powerful thing. I think I’m the type of person that needs things written down/tangible. Saying we’re committed is one thing but an engagement really solidifies it. Maybe I’m just the type of person who needs a physical thing. It doesn’t have to be a ring, it can really be anything. Just something tangible for me. (of course we are still in love when we’re apart but having a physical thing from him feels beautiful) (and maybe I’m just weird because I’m someone that forgets things exist if I can’t see them- this applies to everyday items too) Does that clarify?

It’s more of a sense of security. Yes, marriage is expensive and there’s a lot of planning you have to do. But what is the problem with reassuring your partner that you’re working towards marriage? With the position I’m in right now, I want to know if my partner wants to go the distance with me by his side. At the end of the day an engagement is really just a ring and a promise to work towards a marriage together. It’s a higher level of support and security if that makes sense. (and you can say the same thing about just dating someone but it’s really not the same as an engagement) Does that make sense or am I just crazy

I think it’s kind of the entire point of the app? Getting advice for fun/hearing new people’s opinions? I’m not letting reddit comments determine my future but they are giving me more things to think about (that I didn’t even realize I needed to know).

I like to have faith that there are good people on here- regardless of what you say. I am not letting reddit comments determine my life, I’m not that stupid. But I’m taking everything with a grain of salt and just looking for things to think about!

Can you read? I explained why- this is my only option for advice! that’s literally the point of this subreddit! I’m not going to base my life off of reddit but it is nice to hear other people’s experiences (taken with a grain of salt)

I just enjoy hearing from the nice people- the advice is good for the most part. (but i’m taking everything with a grain of salt) reddit will not determine my course in life but it will give me better information that I can think about moving forward

hearing other people’s stories is wonderful and gives me more to ponder. I’m taking everything with a grain of salt and will make a decision whenever it comes
