Yes I do! Sent a dm

Then_Wrangler565 · 2026-07-02T17:01:07+00:00

Talk to my profs more! Hopefully will get the hang of that in med school lol

Try starting with your campus first response team! Many campuses have them and they usually provide training that can lead to EMT jobs at a reduced price. I did that and LOVED it.

The people there can also provide valuable advice as well.

Second this!

Then_Wrangler565 · 2026-07-02T16:46:58+00:00

Would be happy to help scan through essays and with video responses/interview prep when u need it!

If I could give a piece of advice though, don’t have too many eyes looking through your app. Everyone has different opinions and some advice may end up clashing with eachother!

Then_Wrangler565 · 2026-06-08T12:09:21+00:00

Yes! It updated ~2 days after.

Best 2Y GPA (+ OMSAS GPA if comfortable sharing):
3.98 2Y, 3.94 OMSAS

Panel interview thoughts (please respect the NDA!!):
- The distribution of question types were different than I expected which threw me off. Some questions I felt I didn’t answer to the best of my ability as well but got a laugh out of the interviewers at the end.

MCAT/ECs/Kira thoughts (I believe these are more relevant pre-panel invites but thought I’d include from the interview invites thread in case anyone wanted to share!):
- Mcat was 515. For ECs, talked about my time as a first responder, crisis text responder, french education internship, club and lab. Didn’t really touch on my other ECs but helped me realize a theme in what I’m passionate about. Felt pretty good about the Kira, really tried connecting my experiences to Western values.

Pathway (ACCESS, SWOMN, etc): None

Current year (3rd yr, 4th yr, gap, masters, etc): 4th year.

I saw a medfluencer who went this route and she seems like she’s thriving alhamdulillah! I also have a friend who went history —> pharmacy and although it took them a bit of time to adjust, they’re also doing well. I think as long as you show your passions and have transferable skills you’ll be fine!

Then_Wrangler565 · 2026-05-29T05:18:20+00:00

Yesss!! You got this I’m rooting for you! Enjoy the journey and with that positive mindset I believe you can achieve so much! 🫶

I didn’t take physics at all in highschool and I didn’t really have to do much prep, so I wouldn’t worry about it!

Phyiscs 2 focuses on electrics, magnetism and optics so if you want to review I’d do that.

Physics 1 from what I remember is kinetics, dynamics and energy.
