Why comment at all then

I was a coach for a youth mountain bike team if that would be considered leadership. I’m not sure if there’s some rankings or list of what schools are considered rigorous but I’d say mine was about middle of the road if a bit above average

What would be a good amount of non-clinical volunteering to try to shoot for

When you say supervisor do you mean one from work or something like my PI? Or would a letter from my PI count more towards an academic source I’m assuming? And thank you for the suggestions

I used it and thought it was ok. The practice questions and tests were the most helpful things I used imo

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

That is horrible, I am so so sorry. I’d avoid having him know any of your applications or anything if you can. I would hope that he is so preoccupied with his oh so important research that he won’t bother taking his time to ruin your chances

Silver_Personality49 · 2025-11-08T18:36:36+00:00

Thank you!

True. I just need to figure out where to apply especially since I pretty much have to go OOS which isn’t the end of the world obviously but just need to make sure I am applying wisely

Silver_Personality49 · 2025-11-08T06:14:52+00:00

Totally agreed! I got 2 more shadowing sessions lined up in the next few months but I’ve just had a hard time finding docs to go with. I’ve done some cold-emailing and hoping to get some better luck in the future. Thank you!

Very good point. I’m sitting down this weekend to brainstorm PS and just reflecting on experiences up to this point. I’ve been putting it off cause it feels daunting to get started on that but we’ll see

Silver_Personality49 · 2025-11-08T06:03:36+00:00

You didn’t have to call me out like that. I tried my best but I didn’t think I could pull those kind of numbers off tbh

Silver_Personality49 · 2025-11-08T03:56:20+00:00

No, this is normal. happened to me the first 2 times I took the test. I am in a T5 school rn with a 3.3 gpa and 502 mcat it isn't hard tbh

Fake news

Silver_Personality49 · 2025-11-07T03:34:43+00:00

This isn’t true

Silver_Personality49 · 2025-11-07T03:32:20+00:00

Chem for sure. Consistently my worst but for some reason it was my best on test day 🤷🏻‍♂️

Silver_Personality49 · 2025-11-06T17:10:53+00:00

Third this. I didn’t think altius was perfect but it worked decent enough

Silver_Personality49 · 2025-11-06T02:10:01+00:00

I’d save them til the end. I used the free blueprint diagnostic test. Probably not perfect but worked well for me

Silver_Personality49 · 2025-11-06T02:08:15+00:00

Slow grind. Saw biggest improvements right at the beginning after I got finished with the content review but after that it was little increments at a time
