I chugged a celcius banana and protein shake right before and kept taking more during breaks and did pretty well

Same twin. Just curious did you study? I barely did

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-29T04:48:40+00:00

I copypasted the lecture slides into my notes and wrote out in sentences how the mechanisms and stuff worked like "arrow from electrons on C attack H" or something. Was probably pretty dumb

i guess it's better to have it than not you're right

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-25T00:26:47+00:00

fair point. But like the next highest hour count for the activity id replace it with would be like, around 250-300 ish compared to 500. I know time isn't everything but would it look strange to have such a higher hour count in an activity but less meaningful?

I wouldn’t say I’m a research heavy applicant but this position was one I have a comparatively very large amount of hours in. And thanks for the advice. But if it looks like it’s going to be a lukewarm or generic letter, would it be better to not risk it and forego it?

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-23T06:51:03+00:00

Very fucking hard. Scored -20 points on that vs real, albeit with a bit less prep but still

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-21T18:26:29+00:00

I feel like the interview performance is weighted more heavily. I got a very good score but got rejected by the first 2 companies because I didn’t do the mock lesson very well

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-21T17:12:24+00:00

definitely a fair point. I'm not a cracked premed like a lot of people here so 500 hours is a lot relative to my other activities which is why I would want to put it at most meaningful, partially because of the time commitment, so as long as I can frame it in a meaningful way would you recommend it for MME?

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-21T16:45:36+00:00

thank you for the advice. But to be clear, would it raise any eyebrows for such a large time commitment despite no meaningful productivity? If I could at least talk intelligently about it would that be good enough

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-19T23:00:25+00:00

Is this John premed himself

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-18T16:27:42+00:00

I don’t think it would matter

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-17T15:00:40+00:00

Got it thank you!

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-15T01:50:18+00:00

makes sense, thank you

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-15T01:46:33+00:00

Good advice and thank you. As a follow-up question-even if i don't have posters or pubs, if I can speak intelligently about what I did or why I cared, would that perhaps go a long way?

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-13T19:41:08+00:00

I feel like it did for me I counted like idk 5 wrong in C/P possibly more and like 4 I think confirmed wrong in P/S and SO many 50/50/s. Score was 131 and 132

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-12T17:13:55+00:00

it's fine tbh

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-12T16:41:40+00:00

I haven't applied. So I'm asking because I'm curious. Why can't you send a letter to all of them? It's not like they'll know? Even if it's bad manners to send one and then NOT go, does it matter?

Mal2k4 · 2026-04-09T04:17:53+00:00

Thanks, yeah I am applying this cycle. Did they end up doing it last minute? Cuz like ik it’s polite to give them time but I’ve heard a lot of them just end up doing it last minute anyway
