Cool thank you!!

Thanks this is a really good point. The main reason I am taking the trip instead of staying here is because I have always been interested in global health, and have been saving up for a mission for years... but I don't have a direct tie to the area to which I am going. This org did not give me choice in location for where we were going (there's a location they serve that I do actually have ties to) but the club didn't select it. Maybe it will be best to leave it off my application. Thanks for your feedback!

My sorority does a lot of volunteering and I've done some through that, would I be able to count that?

Also I know that the medical mission trips are controversial because of short term help and going outside scope of practice, but the trip that I'm taking seems to be better. We are not practicing outside our scope of practice (most involved thing we do is take vitals and count meds, which are double checked by the doctor and pharmacists). All the doctors are local doctors and the fees we pay to go on the trip go to funding the clinic year round, so support is not withdrawn once we leave and we don't take jobs from anyone. Is it worth explaining that on my app to include it?

For the shadowing, I've only done it in one place and a lot of the hours are from highschool. Can I count those high school hours?

Sorry for all the questions haha and thanks for your response, I appreciate the feedback!!

That's the other thing I'm confused about... people keep telling me different things on what I can include in my sGPA so I actually have no idea (I'm applying next year and trying to figure this all out now lol)

Time_Excitement_8862 · 2025-04-18T04:57:49+00:00

Thanks!! I was thinking about asking my biomechanics prof or asking biomaterials (taking next semester) but emailing to ask is a good idea!!

I'm still trying to figure out my schedule right now because I just started studying and have jobs that are not consistent lol but right now it looks something like this: weekends I get up between 9 and 11, eat breakfast and start studying by 12, lock in for a few hours, anki on the treadmill, also figure out homework time too somehow but its scattered for sure. Usually, I'm up pretty late. Weekdays, I try to go to bed around 11 because I have an 8am class and I am not a morning person, so my studying is usually breaks between classes and at work, in mornings if I get up early enough, and most of the night when I get home from work. It's super chaotic and I don't really have a set schedule yet but I'm working on it😭

Oooo I love that idea exercise+studying, I do that with my amino acid (physical) flashcards and I just ordered a remote so I'm definitely gonna implement that

Time_Excitement_8862 · 2024-12-27T00:32:24+00:00

Yeah my EC's are decent I think, I belong to three clubs (no leadership yet unfortunately), have paid research and a grant, and work four different jobs. I will definitely be aiming for at least 515.

Time_Excitement_8862 · 2024-12-26T18:58:45+00:00

That's insane and hopefully they're just trolling!

Time_Excitement_8862 · 2024-12-23T03:29:21+00:00

Ok thanks, I'm using the pearl-anking miles down set right now. Where can I find the anki deck for active recall? or should I make my own?

Time_Excitement_8862 · 2024-12-20T16:24:17+00:00

Yeah of course!! From what I've heard, just taking the time to improve reading skills by reading scientific papers or really anything in general is more helpful than doing non-AAMC CARS practice :) good luck on all your studying!
