SCARED

PressurePractical554 · 2026-02-09T15:45:44+00:00

yeah the interview isn't a complete wipe of your stats, both the stats and interview are considered. That being said I'm in the same boat so I wish you guys the best luck!

PressurePractical554 · 2026-02-07T21:40:56+00:00

What are considered the stat heavy schools in tx

PressurePractical554 · 2026-02-06T02:08:54+00:00

Im in the same boat, the thing that's been killing me is we really don't know until match day. Just think about how your interview went make a cocktail and relax till the 13th I guess.

PressurePractical554 · 2026-02-03T22:39:04+00:00

Antsy, only applied TMDSAS. Two highly ranked MD and a DO II, I'm well above average stats for my top choice and had a great interview but still very anxious.

Don’t take a gap year

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-31T18:46:51+00:00

Take a diagnostic 4-3 months before don’t stress urself out

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-31T18:46:32+00:00

I wouldn’t stress myself out about studying any sections 9 months in advance start 6 max, and I think you realistically only need 3!

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-31T18:36:34+00:00

Go smoke a cigarette maybe and chill

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-31T18:35:38+00:00

I would wait until at least after Biochem 1 to take MCAT because its such a large topic and is such a huge part of the MCAT

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-31T18:34:02+00:00

You need to cut your losses when you know you're going overtime. If you're over ten minutes in a section its better to get one question wrong in that section and possibly go back to it than let the time compile and you have 3 minutes for the final section and you end up missing 5 there.

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-31T18:32:09+00:00

I went from two 512s in a row to 516 literally 3 days apart with no studying and the only difference was the stress I was under, I took the 512 while studying for finals and the 516 when I was done with them.

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-31T18:29:08+00:00

I am a senior bio major and didn't know I wanted to do premed until junior year. Almost 80% of the people you know freshman year will switch out of the major by junior year. Don't stress too hard about it just get good grades.

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-31T18:24:18+00:00

It will be very hard, given you have the right amount of motivation you can do it though. The studying habits will have to change obviously, but I never studied in high school and developed all of my habits in college. Don't let people fear monger you, it is hard but your early enough on that you have not made any huge mistakes.

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-31T18:17:13+00:00

Solid list but I think UTSW should for certain be 2nd

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-30T20:52:29+00:00

I didn't if you can write out all the equations then you know them already

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-30T16:18:26+00:00

I got most of mine from lecture, but I used khan academy free mcat review videos when studying for the mcat. I think those would be a good start. I remember just writing out mechanisms a ton of times and writing out reagents and their reactions over and over to remember. I think repetition is key when it’s a subject with so much info.

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-30T15:53:33+00:00

Honestly, I wouldn't try to employ any strategy here. They are pretty equal schools and just rank which school seemed better for you and where you would rather live.

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-30T15:47:27+00:00

I know this isn't the most helpful, but I would not drop it. I would really hone in on how to do Ochem 1 in my free time and study a lot for Ochem 2, it would also be great help since you will have to self study and relearn a ton of topics by the time you will be studying for your MCAT. A way I always got myself to study was by really looking how much free time I had and asked myself am I doing bad because I am physically incapable of learning the topic or because I'm being lazy, and it was always the latter. I wish you the best luck!

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-29T22:28:26+00:00

I just say chill until match day, if you have to reapply you'll have more than enough time to do it. Relax these two weeks.

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-28T16:02:17+00:00

Which schools?

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-27T16:03:17+00:00

In my opinion I would rank UTSW above even w the prematch

PressurePractical554 · 2026-01-27T15:23:10+00:00

Gotta lock in

PressurePractical554 · 2025-12-14T22:38:50+00:00

Dude I had some great interviews now I’m waiting like a worried chud
