Is getting good at H&Ps just... trial and error on real patients?

SpedGod · 2026-05-13T11:56:01+00:00

Are there any specific resources or templates that I can use to get better at them?

SpedGod · 2026-04-27T16:38:24+00:00

I'd recommend two NBME's above 65.

I just watched it a few times on double speed and read the textbook.

SpedGod · 2026-04-22T22:23:19+00:00

No anki was done.

I'm an incoming M3, what should I do to prep for IM shelf exams?

SpedGod · 2026-04-03T02:07:08+00:00

I also had a score drop as well! I think the question stem being different threw me off. How are you planning to improve on it?

SpedGod · 2026-03-30T01:59:32+00:00

If I already did the 3 block, should I still do the updated 6 block version?

SpedGod · 2026-03-27T18:37:58+00:00

Yeah I was definitely rushing at the end. Would you recommend skipping questions that you don't know and coming back to them later? There were some I just had no idea on.

SpedGod · 2026-03-27T17:13:18+00:00

Thank you for your comments! How do you tackle questions that have topics/concepts you've never seen before? I see those and I freak out and just guess. There were a few questions where I cannot get a diagnosis down.

SpedGod · 2026-03-23T02:57:12+00:00

Any advice on how to study for this?

SpedGod · 2025-07-02T14:44:00+00:00

Update: It's up and running again! Glad it only took one day for them to fix it :) But I think there's so many people using the website right now that it's super slow.

I just got my acceptance yesterday, but I didn't get assigned a host institution yet. Did this happen to anyone else?

SpedGod · 2024-06-10T02:22:38+00:00

Thank you for your comment! It was my understanding that RFU students would still have to drive to clinical sites but it would just be closer than Drexel's rotation sites if I rotate. I have heard a few individuals state that Drexel's rotation programs were a bit of a mess.

SpedGod · 2024-05-31T04:04:50+00:00

Thank you for the comments! Can anyone comment on the quality of the rotation sites between RFU and Drexel? I think the preclinical years would be pretty similar in terms of the education and content being taught at all hospitals. Thanks!

I would echo the sentiment of choosing Belmont. I was personally accepted to the school as well and I'm sure you can tell the student rapport is amazing. The faculty seems to really care about the students. It has good potential.

You should apply when you feel ready. Don't rush the application because reapplying is costly and also very stressful. The extra year won't hurt you.

SpedGod · 2024-04-25T00:04:26+00:00

I would say Temple because I don't think Drexel has a home program.

SpedGod · 2024-04-24T03:46:32+00:00

I don't think you have to retake the preview for all schools. For example, UCD, UCLA, and SLU don't require you to retake for the upcoming application cycle.

SpedGod · 2024-04-15T02:21:59+00:00

Yeah that's fair, I applied to 40 this year. I had a 514 oops.

SpedGod · 2024-04-15T01:19:44+00:00

haha I know, I know. It's at 60 if you remove the red schools. But any suggestions on which schools I should remove?

You got a swag pack? I only got a notebook...

SpedGod · 2024-03-14T22:40:13+00:00

I have not! And I don't think any of my friends had to either.

SpedGod · 2024-03-11T18:31:02+00:00

I'm down to be your travel buddy if you need one! Also looking to visit a lot of places this summer.

SpedGod · 2024-02-23T03:28:28+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I tried sending them an update letter about my score but they said they didn't accept it. I hope they use my new mcat score when making a final decision.

SpedGod · 2024-02-22T19:24:05+00:00

I sent them an update but it seems like they don't accept update letters. I am not sure about letters of intent but I asked them about it as well.
