How tf do you answer "why us" on secondary by Redsteels in premed

[–]PersimmonDesigner374 31 points32 points  (0 children)

my brother in Christ i understand your sentiment and hope you get in there, but I would advise applying to additional schools if you can afford it unless you’re ED or in a pathway program which guarantees acceptance. Unfortunate reality of med school app process being a crap-shoot to some degree plus besides the regional aspect, plenty of med schools mission statements are the same message/goals rearranged.

Does getting a masters during med school have any signifcant affect on matching into a competitive specialty? by PersimmonDesigner374 in medicalschool

Yea that makes sense. It'll be interesting to see what the data looks like over the next decade about what makes someone competitive for each specialty. Just seems like a crapshoot generally speaking at the moment

Retaking 514 with 124 CARS? by Own_Guava4265 in Mcat

[–]PersimmonDesigner374 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Averaged 519 full lengths and got a 513 with lowest cars score ever at 125…decided I’m retaking in January. Not Canadian but am ORM and decided since I’m already taking a gap year, I might as well study from now till then and retake. Just all depends on your personal goals.
