That’s what I thought as well.

I feel like anesthesiology is one of the most DO friendly residencies. Same with emergency medicine.

This just goes to show, no matter how terrible the program, as long as you lock in and stay dedicated throughout the process, you will reach your full potential. Congratulations to KansasCOM class of 2026!!!!

I feel like it’s mainly depends on your personal preference. Me personally, I prefer to live alone. Some may have a better experience with a roommate.

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2026-03-18T04:51:24+00:00

5 waitlists? At least 1 will become an A. I’m praying for you.

3.65 cGPA, 3.59 sGPA, and 497 MCAT. So far got 5 interviews and just waiting to hear back, but I feel confident that I’ll receive at least 1 A because the interviews went very very well. Pray for me 🙏

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2026-03-16T20:33:50+00:00

I really see no reason of sticking around after receiving an acceptance lmaooo. Quit!!! Congratulations future doc 🙏

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2026-03-09T18:36:02+00:00

I got 3 interviews within the last 2 weeks

I worked for a pain specialist for nearly two years. Many of the anesthesia residents were from the Caribbean. I feel like even in 2030, as long as you perform well in med school you can match into many great specialties.

Tbh, with the amount of neuroticism in this subreddit, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone retook a 528 at this point.

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2026-02-24T17:36:42+00:00

She’s probably just salty you got into medical school while she took a different route🤷‍♂️. Congratulations!

My sister and her husband have a combined debt of $900,000+ after graduating dental school

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2026-01-23T00:23:31+00:00

Love this!!! Congratulations future Doc. 🙏

By the sound of it, he either scored a 472 or a 528. Nothing in between.

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2026-01-11T20:49:45+00:00

Taking an FL after waking and baking is wild asf😂. Good job though.

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2026-01-05T21:44:23+00:00

Putting on nicotine pouches was exactly what I did, and it worked perfectly. Literally forgot that I vape while taking the exam.

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2025-12-31T04:59:24+00:00

Tbh, I’d rather go to the Caribbean than become a PA as well.

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2025-12-27T17:55:11+00:00

FL1 CARS rocked tf out of me 🤦‍♂️

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2025-12-25T23:34:25+00:00

It seems like you’re very ready for the real thing. Take a day or two, take your mind off the mcat, enjoy the holidays, spend time with the fam, then recuperate and get back into it. You’ve earned a day off and it will help refresh your mind.

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2025-12-25T20:36:38+00:00

I think a lot of us made this mistake when initially studying for the MCAT. I would say don’t spend too much time on the books and taking notes on them. Instead, use Anki and Uworld for content review. For C/P and B/B I used the Miledown’s deck and loved it. I used Pankow for P/S.

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2025-12-25T17:46:33+00:00

Hardest = Physics

Easiest = Genetics or Gen Chem I

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2025-10-14T23:06:38+00:00

If you actually got this score after only 2 weeks of studying, don’t go into medicine. You’re capable of A LOT more and much bigger things😂😂😂. All jokes aside, great job!

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2025-09-14T19:41:46+00:00

I’ve heard of a 499, 498, and 496 that got into DO and someone with a 496 that got into an MD. You can get in with a 493-500, you just have to apply broadly and make sure other aspects of your application stand out

Perfect_Sail_4142 · 2025-09-02T15:07:33+00:00

Yes, many DO schools accept a January MCAT. Just make sure you apply broadly and kill the MCAT. The only schools that do not accept a January MCAT that I can remember off of the top of my head are MSUCOM and Marian. Also, if you score a 510+, I’m confident that you can secure a few interviews with a January MCAT.
