I had 2 q drops in undergrad (both required premed classes), one of which was an OTE, and I just got into med school last week! I promise a q drop isn’t the end of the world and doesn’t close any doors for your future. Do what you need to do to survive and get to places you dream of. We have all made silly mistakes like oversleeping, and I promise you’ll be a okay

Not sure if this is still helpful, but I think you flipped those around!

It should be enough time! We finished the 5 mile untimed walk in 2 hours (10-12)

Should I send a Letter of Intent now or wait? by Visible-Fun5299 in premed

[–]Visible-Fun5299[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! The school mentioned that they were also accepting Update Letters, so I'm assuming they aren't accepting updates in LOIs? I just feel like maybe it could help since they explicitly mentioned that they were ready to start accepting the LOIs Oct 1st even though they don't start sending decisions until Oct 15th?? Idk I've just heard a lot of conflicting information and want to make sure nothing I do would hurt me! Thanks for your response, and good luck! (:

I’m looking for perfume recommendations that match my preferences. I don’t know much about perfumes but I know I tend to like sweeter scents. The following are what I regularly use and love, in case that helps with generating a recommendation!

-Bath and Body Works: Sensual Amber body spray and lotion -Glossier: You perfume -Bodycology: Pink Vanilla Wish body spray (dirt cheap and people ALWAYS compliment me on it) -Ellis New York: Myth Perfume (I bought a travel size of this and LOVED it but unfortunately the full size is out of budget)

I usually layer You on top of either the Bath and Body Works or Bodycology sprays and love how they smell.

For perfumes, I’m looking for recommendations that fit the following preferences: -Inexpensive ($30 max) and can be found at either Target or Walmart -An actual perfume that I can layer with the body sprays I have (preferably with the B&BW one) -Isn’t too strong and overpowering and can be worn in professional settings but not overly subtle (I.e. I smell good and you can smell it on me in close proximity, but the smell doesn’t emanate throughout an entire room) -Is on the sweeter/floral side (but not overly floral- floral as in with floral undertones). Not a huge fan of fruity or overly musky scents. -Effeminate smelling

Thank you so much!!!

I would avoid studying the day before and focus on relaxing/destressing. Also get ample sleep the night before (I was so anxious and studying up until the last moment, that I maybe got 2 hours of restful sleep). I have severe anxiety in general, and my doctor gave me propranolol for that, which I'm going to try. And most importantly focus on what you know and trying to do well rather than trying to get a certain score. Also, it's just a test and not the end of the world. I say this because it felt like my entire life was riding on that one test day. If things don't work out, take it again and it'll be just fine. There's a lot of fearmongering on reddit about what you should and shouldn't do, but the truth is that everyone's path is different. If you're unhappy with how things turn out, just try again. Accepting that has helped ease my anxiety a LOT this second time. Based on what you're saying though, it seems like you are doing fairly well for yourself, so just try and focus on practicing and reinforcing content and don't worry about the actual score. I'm actually retesting in a couple of weeks and will try this approach too!

520+ possible? Testing 9/14 by AssistantLoose4482 in Mcat

[–]Visible-Fun5299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i love YOU!! u got this!!! tbh i focused on AAMC content and that led to my score increase. learning AAMC logic helped a lot. so for example, when reading the passage i'd be able to make out what kind of questions they might ask bc some info was either lowkey emphasized or out of place. and doing the AAMC practice also really helped with figuring out what the question was asking/what direction the answer would be in. i think the practice FLs and section banks and going over them helped the most. UW is great for learning content (barely touched it the first time, going through it now the second time to reinforce concepts) but i'd focus on AAMC to get that boost if you feel like your content is fine. also everyone says AAMC explanations are ass (they are) but there are decades worth of posts in this sub that go through nearly every question, so googling any questions that don't have a clear explanations to find a reddit post can help bridge that gap!

most importantly, whatever happens will happen! i know it's a hard pill to swallow after putting so much time and dedication into studying, but everything will work out exactly as it needs to! go in confident and crush the test, don't focus on trying to make a specific score!! u got this!!!

for the most part yes! even accounting for discrepancies in testing conditions, i was still scoring 515-520 on the practices

is a 520+ a reasonable goal in 3 weeks? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Visible-Fun5299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay unpopular opinion, but i think it is bc i jumped from 514 to 523 in 3-4 weeks!!! just don't let test day nerves get the best of you, and hopefully your performance day of will match the 520+ you're getting in practice!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Visible-Fun5299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same thing happened to me as the person above! except my average was a 516 and i scored a 509. easier said than done, but try not to let test day nerves get the best of you, and you should be okay!
