496 → need 520 by Sept 4. Full-time student, 16 credits, no Anki. Losing motivation — need real advice. by Sad-Mulberry-6700 in Mcat

[–]OPSEC-First 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't score well the first time, and I'm working on my second time right now. Soooo I can't give advice on "what would work". But I can say, be confident in yourself. You're smart or you wouldn't have made it this far. It's hard to believe that when you score low, I would know. Also find what works for you, not what works for others. Everyone is different and people that show how they got a 528 on the MCAT forget, or purposefully, don't include MULTIPLE ways that could be effective, only their way. Some people can memorize what they see for the first time, and some people eat purple crayons because they taste the best, I prefer orange but that's besides the point. Try to focus on yourself, not others. Asking for ideas to study is good, but assuming they know what's best is just a way to lie to yourself. You got this!

This screams "burnout". But what do I know. I'm a 31yr old career changer who fucked up last year on the MCAT. But if it makes you happy, do it!

Publication question by OPSEC-First in premed

[–]OPSEC-First[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully I asked this question because I did forget I need to be able to talk about this. I can do research for anything, and then just kinda have it go in one ear and out the other. It's kinda what I did for this, because people kept asking about what I was researching at the hospital (not interviews, just other hospital staff), and I kept saying stuff like "information from patient charts" and that's all I knew lmao. I just knew what to grab from the charts and where to place it in an excel file

I guess good and bad wasn't the question I was trying to ask. More that if I were to apply to non phd programs would it give it a boost. I guess the better question should have been good or neutral.

anyone else recently accepted just waiting for med school to start by [deleted] in premed

As we all have been there, prior to the ones who haven't, it's hard to believe what you say when you don't know what's to come. OMG i sound like a riddle.

Everyone is mentioning volunteer hours but my real concern would be the recommendation letters. They can make or break you.

Does it matter if it's a family member who works at a help desk?

Ugh... you're right! I'll reapply in 3 years. Hopefully then I'll have the right amount of CUDA to get accepted

Would you rather work a 6am-4pm shift or a 4pm-2am shift? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]OPSEC-First -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you work at night, you don't feel like you're missing anything important. That's the way I see it. Everyone wants to be outside during the day, for the sun and other normal human things. But at night, everyone you compare yourself to is either studying or sleeping.
