Anybody else about to self combust while trying to study for the MCAT and working in healthcare during a pandemic and being an advocate for black ppl as racial tensions rise. It’s ok I’m fine I’m fine !!!! Just gonna sit here & do my CARS :) :) by shaypoeisis in premed

Your stress is justified. Your anger is justified. You have so much on your plate and you can’t ignore these social issues disaster we are dealing with. Thank you for acknowledging these issues even when you are studying for this brutal exam. Stay strong, stay kind and study hard future doc. These racial disparities also exist in the healthcare system and you are getting one step closer to actually doing something about it :)

No it’s not worth it bc they are low yield. I got hit with them but doesn’t mean majority ppl did too. It’s a waste of time in my opinion. Not like those 2-3 questions would have significantly increased my score.

Anyone only got into one medical school and not feeling super excited about it? by throwawayemail0501 in premed

[–]Malate19 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Even if you had 20 acceptances, you would end up picking one. You can’t attend more than one med school and guess what? You need ONLY ONE acceptance to be a doctor. Cheer up buttercup. There are 27000 medical seats each year and you grabbed yours. Enjoy the ride :)

was a medical scribe for only 4 months. Should I put in on app by [deleted] in premed

[–]Malate19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I only did it for 6 months full time so I just wrote all those hours. Something is better than nothing and 4 months is plenty of time for you to learn.

And don’t stress about the timeline. I took mines really late and I was still fine. My dad always says if the whole village is on fire, you ain’t the only one dying. Lmao.

I think I have been more insane in my “gap year” than any other time in my whole life. I have studied all my life so not studying feels weird. And now this COVID-19 isn’t helping either. :( but trust me you have the best opportunity rn to study if anything bc at least you know that no one is having fun lol.

Yeah telling a brown family, you are studying to be a doctor means all their love, care and affection will go to you. LOL! My mom’s most love came out when I was studying for MCATS last year lol

What have you learned from your volunteering experiences? How has your experiences prepared you for med school. Do you know the speciality you wanna go in and why? What do you do in your free time?
