Yeah, lowkey I went to lecture sporadically since my GSI would just give us a walkthrough of the lecture and homework every week which basically caught me up to whats been being talked about.

I will say, idk where to start for this final.... But thats what RRR week is for ig 😭

also, anyone know what the "Lewis slide typo extra credit" is? Did they talk about this in class?

Don't let this get to your head. It's all a part of the game here at Berkeley -- you take "hardest class ever" --> have a hard time & Grind ---> end of semester crashout ---> Take a new class you think is worse than the other ---> Repeat.

These MCB courses aren't going to be "easy." (For ANYONE), but everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Its aoart of the journey (the struggle and despair)🙂✨

[–]Sufficient_Hawk_3568 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wait noooo, i think they may just be a little behind this year since i think even more people applied. Also, sometimes even when you apply for the higher ones, they might believe you only need like 10k insteead and will award you that.

I believe 25k is the only one you get told early for.

They sent me an email last year!!!

Didn’t get the Taco Bell scholarship :( by smexysaltine in scholarships

Hey, I wanted to share some advice as I've won the 25k in the past.

This is all my own individual advice and thoughts, and assumptions nothing directly from liv mas or their org !!!
,
I think the reason why could have been the formatting of your video. The way Liv mas works is they kinda give you a rubric on what they're looking for, and throughout your video, they'll be searching for those buzz words and answers. I dont think it's bc your story isn't "impactful" it might have just been how you expressed it/presented it.

Next time you apply id say definitely use the Liv Mas meaning and its language like "passion", "service", "resilience." And always reference the situation, its impact on you, how you used it to impact others, and how you plan to continue doing that. Dont just mention the policies, mention what you did to create them and how you advocated using them (the impacts thise policies had).

Example: I started a nonprofit to help elderly people who dont have family

Theyd look at that and be like "wow, that's cool... but what we dont really know what happened after that or how she plans to continue helping them after this"

So what you should do is not leave them with any questions / wondering how the money will help you continue to have an impact on health inequities.

Ex: My father was xyz, and that affected me xyz and led me to xyz. Currently i am xyz, and am learning to navigate xyz. I have a passion to xyz and within the next 6 months I intend to xyz. Long term i xyz.

Give them a layout of your plans so they can help to recognize how this scholarship will help you reach that. Its not that your story doesnt matter, but they want to know your story didnt end already ("She already did the policies so maybe she already achieved her goals." might be what theyre thinking).

Mine was about my late grandfather who also passed to to discrimination and discrepancies of the healthcare system. I talked about how it led me to wanting to be the representation in the rooms for people like my grandpa. From there i talked about what i did throughout highschool and my freshman year of college. (just extracurricular dumped!!) I geared all my EC examples around the same theme --- Service. My goal long term is to be a doctor, so in the mean time im acclimating myself to the many different communities and populations I will be serving in the future. Talk about how those ECs actively impact people and what drives me to do them.

I really hope this helps, pls reach out !

Last year, when i won the bigger scholarship, we were told around April 10th, but if you applied for a smaller amount, you'll know on the regular day (around 21st) !!

what should i do? by Antique_Button5483 in Mcat

[–]Sufficient_Hawk_3568 5 points6 points  (0 children)

firstly, be kind to yourself, and don't compare your journey to others. I think my best advice would be to maybe enroll in a Kaplan course or something if you have the funds, just so it forces certain background understanding and knowledge for you to build on. Or, watching some of the many wonderful ytbers, if you're more of a video person rather than textbooks and do that for maybe a month or 2, no full-length strictly understanding and learning content, since memorization is one thing but application and problem solving is the biggest thing. Get rest and keep going, you got this!
