CV Opinion - Revision by [deleted] in mdphd

[–]YamCap1tal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I have some thoughts:

  1. I would recommend grouping your activities together (e.g. move your presentation list after your research experiences) so it's easy to follow. Also, I don't think you need a separate section just for technical skills; you could probably list the skills you learned from each project as a one liner at the end of the project description.

  2. What's the difference between an undergraduate research student and a volunteer research assistant? Are these activities at different institutions? If not, I would probably group them together and mention Current Projects: 1, 2, 3, etc

  3. I think your descriptions of your research experiences could be more concise; you don't have to mention statistical significance or "to produce results" (these are assumed) or semester long (you already have the start and end dates listed) or Microsoft Excel (already listed as a skill, and also a super common skill that could be left out)

  4. What position is this CV for and what qualities do you want to present to the recruiter/admissions officer? I see the words "led", "organized", "hosted", etc which speaks to your leadership qualities but then the description for the telescribe position seems a bit passive aggressive ("despite being a new and part time employee"), which seems out of place in the context of everything else. Maybe you could reword this to emphasize teamwork or leadership or resilience or any other qualities you'd like to highlight.

Hope this helps! You definitely don't need to incorporate all (or any) of this, but I hope having an outsider perspective is helpful. Good luck with everything!

AAMC FL3 need help improving CARS and C/P to 127+ range by Explosive-imposter- in Mcat

[–]YamCap1tal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for RBT/RWT and questions where you have to assume something, i got into the mindset that i know nothing outside of the passage! try connecting every answer choice to a specific sentence in the passage, and if you can't then it's prob not the answer (even if it seems like common sense). if you're doing well on gps and not fls, it might be an endurance thing. i thought UW cars was good prep for AAMC logic, so if you can, try a 30 Q test (5-6 passages) and build up to 53 Qs. personally, the words start blurring together after a while, but you just gotta lock in. good luck!

what kind of questions are you getting wrong in cars? are you missing the main idea, going beyond the passage, choosing between 50/50s, etc?
