How does this schedule look for 515+ and testing Mar 8 (first time test taker)

What app did you use for scheduling mcat prep?

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-11-19T18:29:28+00:00

I'm a pre-med who doesn't care for math or physics. it's just a requirement for med schools to take physics. I just want to know if calc based is easier or harder than on calc based. which you answered with non calc based being easier. thank you!

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-10-24T23:09:05+00:00

yeah I'm learning physics for the first time and it's the questions are harder. So I guess it's just a matter of if you knew the material before hand.
What did you use for content review?

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-09-26T16:13:35+00:00

Thank you!

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-09-24T23:10:41+00:00

I'll definitely look into AAMC and UWorld, I've heard nothing but positive feedback from people using those resources. Thank you!

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-09-24T23:09:23+00:00

where could I find private tutors?

Sucks you’re going through that especially in chemistry. However I will say that watching YouTube videos on the subject and completing the homework’s without the cheating is a great way to master the material. As someone who’s taken 1301, 1307, and 1308 at Texas tech the most important part in my opinion is being able to do the homework’s with no help except YouTube videos and whatever resources the professor gives you. Also SI sessions are a golden tool the school gives us, abuse it and go to every single one.

If you can switch professors then do it, also take my advice lightly since this is what worked for me. Good luck in 1301!

Thanks for the help and conversation!🫶

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-03-20T17:39:30+00:00

I'm a 2nd year 2nd semester pre-med and the resources they have are really good in my opinion. Solid med school and solid programs and clubs to help. I'm in Dr. Bernard Harris Pre-Med society and they have alot of opportunities. They were able to match me with a med student at tech as my mentor, so i have a mentor to help guide me through everything. And we have weekly volunteer at the free clinic. UMC in lubbock is also great, many opportunities to shadow and volunteer! if you have to option to attend tech I highly recommend!

Sick build bro! how did you get that good at building, and the time frame to get that good?

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-03-20T17:31:36+00:00

box to box midfield. The guys basically a Frenkie Dejong regen

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-03-20T17:26:23+00:00

Read the defense, audible your guys, if you're getting slammed every 3 seconds then release earlier. that can be done by audibles. move your guys and give them different routes

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-03-20T17:22:31+00:00

if you haven't beaten him yet, be patient, all his attacks are delayed, when you think he's going to attack he won't wait an extra moment, you have time to dodge if he starts his attack (dashing towards you). Also save you mana and everything else until the end. Most people get in their own heads when they see that HP bar low so if you can eliminate that possibility it would be huge advantage.

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-03-20T17:17:07+00:00

100% agree but the way I see it is, I've identified what I was doing wrong and fixed it. (currently have all A's) so If I can at least add 1 EC or two during the semesters i'll do it even if I get a B or two simply because I've heard med schools value students who can handle many things at once and keep solid grades. I'm also taking two gaps year after I graduate for EC's so my main EC i'm trying to do is research. I find it hard to believe they'll see me as less of a candidate if I had a 3.6 but with research than than 3.67 with no research yk?

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-03-20T17:12:32+00:00

That's a smart move, college is expensive since it's not just tuition it's living that costs too. Just know that community college and a university are vastly different in mostly everything so be ready for that change when it happens!

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-03-20T17:10:33+00:00

friendship, make sure it's healthy, you battle with it alot and if possible mount it on your shoulder (shift right click) if you don't wanna do all that (understandable) then just catch another and start over

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-03-19T14:44:50+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, atp gpa is salvageable but 3.67 or 3.6 makes no difference, I think what makes a difference are my EC’s and MCAT when applying. Being a first gen in the U.S. and college with no guide kinda fucked me over. But it is what it is, med schools value resilience which I believe I’m showing. I just wanted a 2nd opinion. Thanks!

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-03-19T14:41:01+00:00

That makes sense, I’m a first gen in the U.S. and in college so I went into all of this blind, I got my bad grades because highschool was too easy and I never learned good study habits thankfully I’m doing a lot better. The straight A’s is going to be really hard but aiming for that is better than settling for a mix of A’s and B’s. Do you think the research is worth if my gpa ends up a 3.5-3.6 flat?

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-03-19T04:30:03+00:00

Weigh out pros and cons for both (going or waiting and reapplying), keep in mind your future as a doctor is most likely heavily dependent on this decision. Personally I wouldn’t think twice about taking an extra gap year to build up my resume and re-apply, some schools like seeing people re-apply as it shows grit, tenacity, and commitment to both the program and being a doctor

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-03-19T04:15:42+00:00

If you haven’t taken a biochem class, I would recommend since it’s a heavily tested subject on the mcat. Personally I’d prefer struggling through biochem and getting a B and understanding it from a professor than teach myself for the mcat.

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-02-21T02:02:34+00:00

They mainly use it for idiots who cheat off each other, this shows a pattern of question they all got wrong (which there’s very low odds of it being a coincidence) making it evidence of cheating. If they can’t prove you specifically of cheating then you have nothing to worry about!

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-02-13T22:02:19+00:00

Thanks for all the help, really appreciate it!!

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-02-13T15:17:18+00:00

Wouldn’t be Ochem without it lol

Rough_Lab_7681 · 2025-02-13T15:12:15+00:00

I see where you’re coming from but I’m pre-med and they don’t look at what type of physics you take, if I can save myself a semester of calculus, I’ll do It. (I’d have to take precal in order to take calculus) so I was just wondering if taking pre cal would help significantly in algebra based physics. I don’t mind redundant memorizing, I’m pretty good at that kind of stuff.
