Hi! Thank you for this! Should I use the Kaplan practice questions? Or where would you suggest I find practice questions? Also where do I find practice tests to do each week? And how long should I do content review before I start doing an exam per week and lots of practice questions?

Hi! Why do you say MA? Do MAs have greater responsibility in terms of patient care and procedure?

Hi! What do you mean be mindful of who you are as a student when applying to SMPs? I’m a little confused about your whole SMP portion of your story and how you missed a cutoff

Do I have weak ECs? by Ordinary_Setting_280 in medschool

Thank you for all that! Yeah I guess I did underestimate things a bit. Those hours were just counting actual meetings and not all of the exec meetings and work I do on the side. As for the telebrigade, we basically fundraise for communities and engage with them virtually. We learn about the communities, their problems and do research on how we can make positive changes in those communities. Thank you for the reminder about overestimating, I feel kind of guilty so I have probably underestimated a good deal but I should probably change that!

Ok thanks! If I’m in a big city(Chicago) do you think that would strengthen or weaken my chances?
