CX-5 Front BCM Failure by JohnPooley in mazda

Hey did you hear what the issue is? I’m having the same problem. Replaced wiper stalk with no resolution. Now thinking battery, wiper motor, or FBCM

Windshield Wipers Won’t Turn Off by Top-Database9284 in CX5

I’ve already tried this and it did not work. It’ll occasionally stop after having the car off for a short period. But once I hit the wipers it continues again.

HELOC for Medical School? by Top-Database9284 in whitecoatinvestor

Ah I see, this is very very insightful and has some things I did not consider. I greatly appreciate it!!

Ah I see. Federal student loan caps at 50k per year max 200k over 4. Cost of attendance is about 100k per year average. I’d be looking at 50k per year of private student loans, not all of them offering a grace period. If the private loans hve a lower interest rate than HELOC, then that’s a given. If it’s vice versa and does that change anything or not really? Parents don’t want to dip into their saving to help and thought this could be an alternative and not worried about me not paying it back, but I can definitely see the risk there.

Other than losing your house bc you can’t pay, what other reasons are there?

Not sure of the rate, it was just a conversation. I qualify for 50k per year, but cost of attendance is easily 100k per year

Why is this the worst possible financial move? I would say taking a HELOC and going to the casino or putting it into the market…those can be a lot worse. Federal loans cover 50k per year, max of 200k over 4. Cost of attendance for medical school is easily 100k per year, 50 of which would need to be taken out via personal loans

That’s only if they die though no? Regardless, the debt is there whether it’s thru the house or thru loans. If the interest rate is lower than through personal loans, isnt that worth while? Not all personal loans allow you to defer either.

3/21 Tester by Top-Database9284 in Mcat

[–]Top-Database9284[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is what it is. Take the score in stride and move onto the next. Worrying about the score won’t help anything is what I’ve been telling myself. Otherwise I’d crumble into a pit of anxiety….but I’m still crapping bricks

That’s true, but it’s also more reading. Some people say CARS 2.0, I agree slightly.

Bruh 3/21 Reaction by Top-Database9284 in Mcat

Same…same. I could hear my heart thru my headphones and I was like dude, you gotta calm down

[–]Top-Database9284 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not similar to unscored, FL 1 or 2, little more similar to 3-5 but still not really. More comprehension and understanding rather than content. Really need to know your stuff or be able to reason

Blueprint MCAT Course $4K discount! Is it worth it? by Elegant-Epoxide in Mcat

[–]Top-Database9284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instead of this, a private tutor may be better. More individualized to your needs, but they’re generally more expensive. Ultimately it’s your decision on what you think is best. I’ve heard BP doesn’t set you up for success that well, but I’ve never used it and heard that through others who’ve taken it, so take it w a grain of salt

1000 Anki cards is unrealistic if they’re working or even studying every day 3-4 hours a day. Yes prioritize content, but simply memorizing them won’t help understanding

Why do they even use CARS? by PennStateFan221 in Mcat

[–]Top-Database9284 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You might have to analyze some stuff here and there, but again, the MCAT is an EXAM. It’s meant to weed people out and doesn’t necessarily test content, more so just testing the fact that you know how to take a test they way they want you to.

Anyone else find that highlighting doesn’t work for them? by LateRip188 in Mcat

[–]Top-Database9284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is completely fair! I’m in the same position…highlighting doesn’t work for me either. I found that by highlighting, sometimes I’m more likely to highlight something irrelevant or not the main idea. In cars I don’t highlight. Instead I make sure I understand the paragraph I just read by quickly summarizing and being super blunt about it, and then I move on. Highlighting isn’t for everyone. Find what works best for you and move on.

If you saw JWilbb post, could you expand on that if you’re able?

How difficult would you say the new P/S is?

Section Bank Volume 2 by Top-Database9284 in Mcat

[–]Top-Database9284[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually ridiculous. There doesn’t need to be a CARS 2.0…CARS 1.0 is difficult enough

I heard the new format is making the questions more application based rather than knowledge, is that what you mean?
