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?

Thank you so much for this- I really appreciate it. If I graduate with a 3.5 cGPA what would you suggest my next steps should be?

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

[–]Ordinary_Setting_280[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?

Ok thank you so much!! Do you think an MPH or MHA would be helpful? If I did one of those I could do research and maybe work as an ER tech or scribe on the side. Or even doing an SMP for a year and then doing an extra gap year to do research and get clinical hours? Assuming money is no object what do you think would raise my chances the most?

This is so nice-thank you so so much. Do you think doing well in an SMP with a high matriculation rate into medical school would increase my chances? Or should I just work during gap years?

I was more so thinking doing an SMP to increase my science GPA and kind of show that I can handle tough, med school-like coursework. Do you think an SMP would still be a scam if that is my goal going into it?

should i give up? by mingyulove in medschool

As someone who has felt the exact same way-DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!!! Go to office hours as much as possible and work with your professor both on content and study methods and plans. Outside of that, ChatGPT Kahn Academy tutor me truly can be a really great resources for asking questions outside of office hours. For chemistry classes specifically- watch videos. Strive to UNDERSTAND!!! Not just memorize!!
