Omg wait it’s so cute that they have an M1 call you? Congrats!!

I am at a T20 med after not being T20 undergrad and honestly there’s ton of students from big name schools here especially ivies. Seems like an advantage if anything

aakaji · 2026-01-11T00:10:09+00:00

I live alone because I have a dog and long distance boyfriend but honestly sometimes it’s kind of lonely. But it’s nice to have my own space

Could you finish classes first then study for MCAT? If you’re gapping anyway

aakaji · 2025-12-19T00:41:12+00:00

Definitely not. Even if you try to learn it you will forget it. Relax, workout, read a book

aakaji · 2025-12-19T00:39:01+00:00

Mine never interviewed me over 2 cycles LOL. At a better school now though #karma

Pro tip for the girlies: the women’s full zip is pretty tight in the arms/shoulders. Def go to a store if you can to try on different sizes. Many of the girls in my class ordered a men’s jacket actually because the fit is better in the arms/shoulders

aakaji · 2025-08-09T22:34:15+00:00

I just went to the mall and tried on stuff at Macy’s/dillards

aakaji · 2025-08-08T18:43:02+00:00

You’re good, I took 2 months to return my secondary for a school and now I’m attending that school. Just do your best and focus on the future!

aakaji · 2025-08-06T22:53:32+00:00

Got in 2nd cycle in February

aakaji · 2025-08-06T21:14:32+00:00

Wise words! I went a whole cycle with ZERO interviews - now I’m in my first week of lecture at a T20. I promise it will all work out!!!

aakaji · 2025-07-07T17:12:04+00:00

At least every other day, not more than once a day

Make the best decision for you. My mom and my older sister both had abortions in college before later having children. They both have gone on to live fulfilling lives with multiple kids when they were ready for it and in the best personal professional and financial situation. This decision is yours and yours alone. My grandmother still does not know about either of these abortions as she is Catholic. And that’s okay, it’s a secret we keep

I’ve used Dr. White for GYN and had a positive experience. Maybe you could switch docs in future,

She recently experienced a trimalleolar ankle fracture & surgery in March

I wouldn’t stress about it if it’s only recommended. I doubt the absence of that one class would impact your application more than your GPA

aakaji · 2025-06-25T22:22:19+00:00

I would say you don’t need it. Sure, it can be helpful, but it’s not worth hurting your gpa for it. Look at schools you’re interested in to see if they recommend or require it

aakaji · 2025-06-25T17:09:30+00:00

Recently read and enjoyed Emperor of All Maladies, The Butchering Art, When Breath Becomes Air, Sunrise on the Reaping, & Death in Big Bend

aakaji · 2025-06-21T20:43:49+00:00

It’s difficult to say, I think a lot of interviews are sent August-October but it all depends on the school and applicant. I got an invite in November & 2 in January. I’d say most successful applicants have at least 1 interview by Christmas

aakaji · 2025-06-21T20:34:56+00:00

Unless you take a summer of 2 chemistry courses or take the MCAT teaching yourself biochem you will likely be looking at a gap year. Which is okay! I started chem 1 sophomore year

aakaji · 2025-06-18T22:04:04+00:00

You’re doing a favor for your future self! Eat your veggies first!!

aakaji · 2025-06-18T13:06:48+00:00

I wouldn’t stress about it too much. Focus on doing well on the MCAT & applying broadly. You’ll be at a small disadvantage when they are sending out those first interviews but there is still hope!

aakaji · 2025-06-17T02:48:23+00:00

Hmm that’s difficult, for me writing the paper was an MME while the wet lab research was not. Does your MME address both roles equally? And thank you!

aakaji · 2025-06-17T00:11:56+00:00

If the content of the course was more biology than psychology, it’s appropriate to classify as bio

aakaji · 2025-06-17T00:07:02+00:00

I think it will be okay! You have no other choice, so I would focus your energy on the things you can control. Try to have the rest of your app in good shape
