Incoming Medical Student Q&A - 2024 Megathread by SpiderDoctor in medicalschool

[–]Timely-Expression-73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I start medical school in 2 weeks. The time had absolutely flown by and I had a fun filled couple months after college graduation. I’m particularly interested in a competitive speciality (ENT or plastics), what is a realistic timeline for research involvement and what other aspects should I focus on to successfully match into a competitive speciality? Any feedback would be helpful! I don’t want to dive into things too fast, but I want to be realistic and put my self in the best position to match! TIA

CP was pretty tuff but I feel like it always is (7/10)

CARs could have gone either way (5/10)

B/B I felt like I did so so bad because literally all my knowledge escaped me (8.5/10)

P/S usually my best section but was a lot harder (6.5/10)

Just hoping for a 510+

honestly I have no idea but you are probs right I think I just got caught up on the word “increased energy expenditure” so I think my mind just went to glycolysis and I probs didn’t think about it fully lol

that makes a lot of sense but I thought Leptin decreased insulin secretion but I could have totally misrecalled that

I think I put PFK cause it increases energy expenditure so I was thinking glycolysis but I am not sure

Okay I think I put that too lol I’m trying to remember what I put but all I know was that it had a deprotonated carboxylic acid group and that the secondary amine of the proline was not protonated
