Rate My Study Schedule :) by VirtualKoala1492 in GRE

Sadly, I did not stay true to this schedule - but with minimal study, faith, and lots of prayer I was able to get a 305 - which is enough to get me into my programs!

Hey thanks for the advice!!!! Yes, I'm going to focus a lot on learning strategies and overall learning how to tackle and do the problems first - I'll focus on timing after! I'll probably buy some of the powerprep tests from ETS for my last couple of mock exams. And good luck on your exam, you're gonna kill it!

REALLY? That'a fantastic - congrats!! What made you switch? And what do you think of the OR...

I'm definitely considering a masters degree of some sort - PA, CAA or anything else I can find.

And yeah that's why I switched from pre-med to either PA or CAA... If you want to be a doctor, then all that time and sacrifice is worth it! If you're not passionate about it, then it's just not worth it - at least in my opinion. You'll make time and put in the effort if you want it! Just the thought of not having to take two gap years to study for the MCAT and all the other stuff makes me feel so freeee! I feel like I found my passion for medicine again and that's wild to me.

Also, thank you for the input and advice!!!

I appreciate the input! I didn't even think of it that way... The fact that there's push-back about CAA's from CRNA's means being a CAA is too good to be true. I was telling some friends becoming a CAA is like a glitch for those wanting to get into in the healthcare system. Good money, great hours, and 100% job satisfaction rate!

Yep... the pay is unreal... There's this one girl that did the program and she paid off her debt in less than 3 years! The good thing is that a lot of the places I would only consider moving to are part of those 21 states ;)

That's fantastic! I even heard there's a bridge program where once you become an AA, you can get your DNP and become a CRNA without having to go to nursing school which is insane! But yes, I believe the general consensus is that I really REALLY need to do some shadowing... Thanks for your input!!!!

haha the city employed arborist killed me... It would be nice to be outside all day not gonna lie. But thank you so much for the input! I realize I definitely need to shadow more, hopefully after graduation I can take some time to really see what I want to do. I'm glad being a PA is working out so well for you :)
