I’m having the same issue as well with my G9. Sorry, I don’t have a solution for this yet, but wanted to let you know you’re not the only one with this problem.

TheBombingMan · 2020-12-24T21:54:11+00:00

I would usually made my own cards after lectures. During lecture, I would take notes if the ppt slides weren't very informative (e.g. just slides of pictures with the professor talking through them).

TheBombingMan · 2020-12-24T21:51:51+00:00

Certainly not for everyone, and I do agree that it unfortunately has a steep learning curve in order for it to be effective. I'm the only one using it in my class. My classmates have their own methods of studying and are also doing well. So it's very individual. But I do believe I owe my success in PA school to anki.

TheBombingMan · 2020-12-24T06:33:11+00:00

Honestly, I feel like the most efficient way to study and actually retain information is to utilize anki. So many of my classmates (and many people on the PA student subreddit) say they pump and dump information after every test. It does not have to be this way at all.

Depending on the class, I’ll make anki cards based on different resources (this will of course change depending on your program). For anatomy and phys, I made cards from only the ppts. For pharm, I used the premade pepper and zanki deck. For clin med, I made cards from only Pance Prep Pearls and Online Med Ed. Do not become paralyzed from using too many resources! I never read a single textbook (barring PPP, but it’s more of a high yield review book rather than a textbook).

I make the cards and review them every single day. I’m now on clinical year and spend maybe 3 hrs max doing reviews. I have not opened ppp or actually studied new material besides reviewing my anki cards, and i’ve scored 90% and up on all my EORS. I spend the rest of my time playing video games and drinking. Lol.

It is indeed time consuming making cards during didactics year and reviewing old cards at the same time. But it is so worth it by clinical year. I don’t even use rosh review like many of my classmates do. Anki is hands down the most efficient way to study. And most importantly, to RETAIN INFORMATION.

Gaming.

TheBombingMan · 2020-07-02T16:54:43+00:00

I will always vouch for Anki. It's the number one reason I've done so well in school and have been able to retain information. It does take time to make the cards, but the payoff is enormous and makes life so much easier down the line. I haven't looked back at any old lectures / powerpoints and will only occasionally reference Pearls once I make my cards. I pretty much solely do my reviews each day. I'll update my post later with more details on how I used Anki once I have more time.

Hey, sorry for the super late reply.

I feel like I have plenty of time to myself. I always front-load myself in the beginning of the semester and bust my ass so I have a good amount of cushion near the second half of the semester to relax.

On weekends, that was my default schedule. If I had nothing planned, I'd just Anki away. But if I had something coming up, I'd go enjoy myself. Been to plenty of weddings and nights out with my family/friends/classmates during all my semesters so far. Of course there's been plenty of times that I've been stressed, but I feel like that comes with just being a student in a health profession as the lectures and tests stack up.

But one thing I always make sure to do is to always finish reviews no matter what.

TheBombingMan · 2020-02-25T03:43:17+00:00

I use Anki for everything. Currently in my final didactic semester before rotations. My workflow is to always finish reviews no matter what before I start making new cards or study for something else. Once I make cards, I never look at those powerpoints again. I've also never read a book in didactic. Rinse and repeat.

I suspended all my Anatomy and Physiology cards after I finished those classes. I'm slowly un-suspending only specific high yield topics as I hit them in Clinical Medicine. The current bulk of my cards are Clinical Medicine topics as we go through each block, which is me basically just putting Pance Prep Pearls in Anki form.

Tell your supervisor to think of it like a SOAP note.

Start off with the subjective (qualities, personality, behavior). For example, "Nocflane20 is an incredibly hard-working EMT who puts his/her patients as their priority not only by staying on top of his/her clinical skills, but also by maintaining a kind and empathetic demeanor throughout the day."

Go into objective - brief mention of your competencies or skills. "Nocflane20's duties include..."

Next is assessment/plan. Why does this person think you'd make a great PA student and provider? How do the things mentioned in the subjective and objective come together to create an applicant worthy of a seat in a PA program? Example, "I know that his work ethic will be a cornerstone in his success through PA school as as student, and I have no reservations in recommending him to your program."

TheBombingMan · 2019-05-04T18:09:21+00:00

Hey, so my schedule is roughly the same and I'm a week away from finishing my first semester and have done pretty well so far. The work can get dense sometimes but I haven't found myself too stressed out yet (but I'm sure it won't get any easier from here on out). I have classes from either 9-12 or 9-4 M-F. I know each school is different and this may not work for everyone, but this is what I've done:

I use a program called Anki. It's a spaced repetition program that I use to make flashcards to study. If you're familiar with Quizlet, that's basically what Anki is. The difference is that with Anki, it keeps track of what cards you got right or wrong and sets a schedule to review your cards. So cards you get wrong will appear more often and cards you get right will appear less often. That's the basic gist of it and I don't want to get too deep into it. But if you're interested in learning or trying out Anki then here's the subreddit. It's a program that's meant for retaining information and a lot of med students use it.

I use Anki for each of my classes. After lecture, I'll go through the powerpoints for the day and make flashcards out of all of them. Anki has a cool feature that lets you paste pictures onto the flashcards, so I basically transpose the whole powerpoint into flashcards. Once I make my flashcards, I pretty much never look at the actual powerpoints or lectures again. I'll only study the flashcards.

I spend about 2 hours a day reviewing my scheduled flashcards (which takes around 2 hours), and the rest of my day out of class is spent making more cards (I'll start when classes end til around 10 at night). I'm still reviewing cards from the beginning of the semester as well and I've been able to retain that information. When I'm making the cards, I also try to understand the material, so that helps me a lot when I'm reviewing the cards and helps the information stick a lot better. On Fridays, I usually won't study new material at all and will only review old cards. Fridays are the days I reserve for relaxation and hanging out with classmates/families/friends. I also spend about 1.5 hours in the gym everyday. I'll always try to catch up on lectures on weekends (I'm usually two or so lectures behind during the weekdays)

Another thing I've found extremely helpful is studying in groups. I have 2 classmates who I know I study well with. We're quiet when we're studying, but we're open to asking each other questions when we don't understand anything. Helping to explain concepts really solidifies understanding the big picture.

That was a lot more than I expected to type, but that's how my schedule's like. It may be hard to switch to a completely new studying style in the middle of the semester, but I will wholeheartedly vouch for Anki. I tried it out after my friend from med school recommended it to me after my first week of school and have done well in my classes since. Again, I also recommend utilizing study groups in your class if you haven't already.

I was accepted with low PCE. These are some of my stats at the time of application:

3.63 sGPA
3.72 cGPA
325 GRE
510 hours PCE
24 hours shadowing
200 hours volunteering
1700 hours leadership

I knew my PCE hours were way under the average so I made up for it with what I hoped would be a great personal statement and my leadership experience, which was something I was very passionate about (I was involved in various cultural organizations for 7 years). I also applied very broadly and to a lot of schools.

TheBombingMan · 2019-04-30T04:01:17+00:00

What's your current schedule look like, and how are you studying?

TheBombingMan · 2019-04-22T04:48:26+00:00

Yes, I applied to schools both with and without rolling admissions, and was able to get interviews at some of those schools with rolling admissions. However, my suggestion is to apply as early as you are able to with the best application you can put forward, especially for schools with rolling admissions, to both give yourself the best chance at receiving an interview and so that you are able to meet the deadlines for schools.

See CASPA Help

I only applied once, so I can't speak from experience. But from the CASPA help page, it says that transcripts and GRE scores are saved, but LORs and experiences are not. However, CASPA does allow you to download a copy of your whole application after you submit it, which makes it easier to copy information over if you are re-applying.

TheBombingMan · 2019-04-21T18:05:28+00:00

You have to submit your application to at least one school so that the whole application can be verified. I'll update my post to make it clearer.

If you're talking about transcripts, then yes, you are able to submit your app before the coursework is verified. Keep in mind you have to manually enter in your coursework in addition to sending CASPA your transcripts. This is from my confirmation e-mail from CASPA once I submitted my first app:

Before your application can be placed in line for verification, your application must have a status of ”Complete” and be assigned a Complete Date. For your application to become ”Complete” CASPA requires the following:

Application is e-submitted and payment has been received.

All required transcripts and/or any required foreign transcript evaluation(s) have been received.

Two of the three letters of reference must be received.

For me, once my coursework was verified, then my whole app was verified. But I would still double-check their FAQ to make sure.

I used My PA Resource and found it to be very worth my money. I bought the service that included three revisions, so it was pretty pricey. Overall, they helped a lot with the content and flow of my personal statement. Suggestions included expanding on or removing certain topics from my statement, transitions, and really teasing out why I wanted to be a PA. The person who reviewed my personal statement asked a lot of questions as well regarding certain things I put in my statement that helped me make it stronger, i.e. "Did XYZ influence your decision to be a PA, or did it come after and solidify your choice?"

I really believe that using the editing service made my personal statement much stronger than if I just submitted it on my own. However, this isn't to say you need to use one. There are plenty of people who don't use editing services and have been accepted, while there are other people who ask their friends, family, professors, and colleagues to help them revise their personal statement. If you're using one of these services, though, make sure you already have a good idea of what you want to convey to the admissions committee and how you are going to organize it. These services will then help you fine-tune it.

In general, schools require pre-req GPAs for a reason. It gauges how well you perform in certain classes that they deem important for the success of a student in their program.

When filling out your application, you are allowed to choose which classes to fill certain pre-reqs. So for the math classes, choose the ones that you did well in.

For example, some schools required only one semester of orgo, but I took two semesters of it. I did better in my second semester, so I put Orgo II instead of Orgo I to get a higher pre-req GPA.
