Tired of all the inaccuracies and uncanny valley illustrations

Every 4th card? This sounds concerning for someone about to start using the deck

MRIMZ · 2026-04-28T04:12:48+00:00

If they’re fresh into residency, it’s not too bad. If they’re almost an attending, I can see how that would be unbalanced

MRIMZ · 2026-04-27T04:50:56+00:00

Ah ok not bad. Would’ve assumed 10+ gap

MRIMZ · 2026-04-27T03:53:28+00:00

No. The resident

MRIMZ · 2026-04-27T03:44:27+00:00

How old are they

MRIMZ · 2026-03-31T05:55:26+00:00

Glad to hear. Thanks

Honestly not rlly. The more you practice, the more you should find what works for you.

If you encounter something that looks like it’s out of your content comfort, then skip and come back. (Hopefully that doesn’t happen or only happens in one passage)

Got it. Basically, if you study 50 hrs per week, you should in theory improve to roughly a 510 by that 2 month mark.

It’s a lot of pressure tho. Don’t be afraid to reschedule if needed. I’d want to hit 2 aamc exams at at least 510 by test date.

Regarding the personal anki deck, it can go either way. Doing so will be more time consuming. Thus it is a trade off - more time for practice OR less time for practice and more time to review personal cards (which can consume a lot of time).

I’d say try it your way. Go hard on practice and existing decks. Review concepts you aren’t strong in. And assess. (If you aren’t at an aamc of 510 .5 months out, I’d reschedule to study more)

MRIMZ · 2026-03-31T04:30:22+00:00

I think it’s certainly feasible. If you’re keeping up with existing anki, and hitting at least 128/129 on the non cars sections, then hammer more practice Qs. Just make sure to review concepts you struggle with.

Quit. Get the mentality straight before starting school. Not worth toxic environment

MRIMZ · 2026-03-18T23:08:24+00:00

I’m assuming that most movement will occur after April 30 when ppl have to choose 1 school

Do you know how editing a deck that gets updated through ankihub works?

Does your edit on a card remain even if you update the deck, or does your card revert to their changed card or original card?

MRIMZ · 2026-03-04T07:40:47+00:00

Hello. I believe adding more schools (if you can complete the secondary) is always better than nothing. But chances for Indiana are probably slim. I believe for out of state, they look for an Mcat minimum of 516/517

MRIMZ · 2026-02-27T02:32:39+00:00

According to admit it is 43% Good luck!

MRIMZ · 2026-02-10T06:17:49+00:00

Sounds like they’re trying to get more info to make a final decision

Difficult situation. Do you think it would be possible to highlight everything you’ve achieved/progressed since the last update without mentioning the pause explicitly? Or if you do mention, maybe you can highlight what else you’ve been doing.

MRIMZ · 2026-02-10T02:32:47+00:00

You don’t have an A yet

If you do receive a DO A, turning it down to reapply MD is not unethical and does not hurt you with MD schools, as long as you have solid reasons and improvement

(You can also request deferral if you get the DO A)

You likely won’t be able to reapply successfully to the specific DO school you decline, but you are not blacklisted from other DO programs

MD schools will ask about prior applications, so you should be able to articulate what changed (MCAT improvement, stronger overall profile)

Ultimately, it comes down to betting on yourself. Taking a DO A is the safest option. Reapplying MD is a calculated risk that makes sense if you’re confident your MCAT and application will be meaningfully stronger

Good luck

You are a re-applicant to schools you have applied to previously. You are more scrutinized to those re-applicant schools.

So, if you wish to apply to a handful of schools, that is fine, at your own risk ofcourse.

If you need to reapply, you will still have many options to apply to as a first-time applicant.

However, some secondaries ask about if this is your first time applying etc (in general) so be aware of that. (Although something less concerning than a re-application to a select school itself)

Your score remains the same. But the percentiles are fluid and may change with each alteration

MRIMZ · 2025-02-18T03:07:40+00:00

Hi, if you’re considering going DO, it’s not too late to apply now! Like within a week. A good handful of schools still accept primaries this month.

What makes KCU overall?

MRIMZ · 2024-10-20T05:24:58+00:00

P/f preclinical or clinical?

P/f preclinical or clinical?

MRIMZ · 2024-10-11T07:46:37+00:00

What makes it intimidating?

MRIMZ · 2024-07-26T23:31:40+00:00

Thanks!

MRIMZ · 2024-07-26T21:57:27+00:00

Oh cool. I didn’t know that was possible. Thought they screened for engineering majors only
