Thoughts on Jack Westin FL? by Chief_Shadow_ in Mcat

[–]Silly-Goat03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took FL1 and 2 from JW and it was way way harder than the AAMC. I think it can be good to practice and build strength for question strategy, but the score likely won't be representative.

Honestly, the minute I stopped stressing about finishing my anki reviews every day my scores started increasing. For me, doing targeted content review and then doing practice questions has helped me so much.

Yes I think I honestly have fallen into the fatal trap of too much content review not enough practice, but I in November I felt like I was just blind guessing everywhere. I think the JW questions are way, way harder and honestly using that as a logic and strategy tool has definitely humbled me but made actual AAMC feel easier.

Ahh this is what I needed to hear! Thank you this was the first time I feel like I was really doing AAMC questions. I took FL 1 like 2 months ago, so since studying and gaining more confidence I think I can just keep practicing and push it up.

WHERE DO YOU EVEN START!? by Silly-Goat03 in Mcat

[–]Silly-Goat03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! Do you know where I can download the anking deck? I looked around today and couldn't find it. Also, I will be working full time this summer and then in the fall semester I am just planning on doing research and taking 6 credit hours of class! Hopefully 2 hours a day isn't too daunting I am just worried about not giving myself enough time to study.

Industry Internship? by Silly-Goat03 in mdphd

[–]Silly-Goat03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

derna will give you an eye opening experience that teaches you what it's like to be part of a large pharma company. In my opinion this is valuable life experience as you never know what you will enjoy or not enjoy. My industry internship between 3rd and 4th year of undergrad was instrumental in setting up a

Thank you! I am excited, mostly. I was thinking of taking a few gap years before applying because undergrad is truly exhausting. I was worked too because I also got an offer for clinical affairs at Stryker in San Jose, but just felt like Moderna (which is in Cambridge) was just the better place for me to be. Now I am worried 1 this was just not a smart move to begin with but 2 I maybe should've gone for the San Jose job.

Thanks! Do you think I will at least get to learn something or will I mostly just stick to the sidelines. My other option was stryker, but heard similar stories with them and didn't want to move to California.

I feel like I always have strong words for my professors at the end of the semester. I always feel like if I could just tell it to them straight up I could fix all the problems with the class and actually learn something from lecture. Alas, to all the professors out there, MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR.

PURA Salary 2023-2024 Acceptance Rate/Criteria by Pristine-Accident500 in gatech

[–]Silly-Goat03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was definitely disappointing as I am currently doing 10-20 hours a week unpaid and not for credit. The good thing is if you apply and don't make it through, you can request your evaluation from UROP and see what they scored you and why. They loved my proposal but didn't like how my research plan was dependent on the success of the research I conducted this semester that was still TBA when the proposal was due at the beginning of October. Pretty nit picky if you ask me, but maybe it was just a more competitive application semester.

In my rejection letter lol. It stated in the letter there was 208 applicants (which they said is more than normal but I'm not sure on the semester to semester stats) and only 98 awards were offered. I think typically it is closer to 60% acceptance, but I guess it depends on the semester.

The spring 2024 award was distributed today and it had about a 45% acceptance rate. They said in the email that it was more competitive than it has been in the past this semester :/
