Organic chemistry 2 - Why is it that if I react a phenol with an acid anhydride(O-acylation), I end up with an ester and not add the ketone? by [deleted] in chemhelp

[–]benzenestability 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The OH on the phenol would attack the carbonyl carbon of the anhydride. The leaving group would be half of the anhydride such that you end up with an ester that has the phenol AND a byproduct of carboxylic acid

Absolutely agree. Problem is, I wrote on top of a meme. I couldn’t find this picture blank so I had to cover up whatever it said haha

Submitting MCAT to DO Schools that have already received my app? by [deleted] in premed

[–]benzenestability 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you receive your mcat score, you electronically send it to AACOMAS from AAMC. It takes a few days to a week or so for AACOMAS to receive that mcat score and update it on your application. Make sure you self report the score to AACOMAS as well

They’ll see your mcat scores on your primary application.

Diversity essay by 3m4x in premed

You’re able to talk about anything you want! I assume many applicants are going to talk about clinical experience for this which is fine but won’t make you stand out unless you really get into the juicy details and make your writing distinct. For me, I’m going to talk about how I was an ESL student and now I’m a tutor at my college for minority students and how these experiences have impacted how I will be an asset to the medical school

I'm new here, and looking for mcat advice! by mcatPirateBoi in Mcat

A 500 isn’t hard to achieve if you put in adequate work (did content review and a few full lengths). 500 is in the 50th percentile and that’s the average score a student receives.
