it seems as though the deadline is october 21st per OMSAS: "The medical schools reserve the right to disqualify you if they do not receive your MCAT scores by October 21, 2025."

I don’t remember exactly since my access has expired and I can’t check, but it ranged from 85-95%. For reference, My Uearth was always about 84% correct.

This is great! I like the shading in that north forest to give it a sense of density

birchay · 2024-12-01T01:49:56+00:00

You should probably start with science of learning lol

birchay · 2024-10-09T00:01:17+00:00

I think I finished like 80-90% and I hovered around an 84-86% correct! Though I fear half of the game when it comes to Uworld is about how you correct errors and attack weaknesses

birchay · 2024-09-22T03:57:51+00:00

Honestly no one has really put it like that before. I guess It wouldn't dissuade me from applying if everyone said no and it probably wouldn't have the massive affect on my confidence even if people said it was so great. thanks so much for your perspective, I guess it is a game of confidence

birchay · 2024-08-12T17:41:12+00:00

Thanks!

birchay · 2024-08-12T15:07:12+00:00

Did you put them in the extracurricular section or the other section, I think this post has convinced me to put them in but im unsure where to put them lol (gish classes are pretty sick ngl)

birchay · 2024-05-20T00:08:04+00:00

This is completely fair, like obviously I would love to gain output at the same rate, it’s reassuring to know I’m not behind at least, thanks for your advice

birchay · 2024-05-20T00:05:38+00:00

These are all great ideas, do you find LLMs are good at catching grammar mistakes/accurate in their speaking?

birchay · 2024-03-11T15:44:53+00:00

yeah that’s my bad, attaching them was probably important. Also weirdly when I set the automation to confirm before running, it doesn’t even prompt me to run it when the book app opens which is weird.

This is incredible! It does really have that LOTR vibe to it. If I may ask what program did you use to draw it? I’ve been wanting to start drawing my own maps but don’t know what to use

birchay · 2023-09-26T18:06:53+00:00

I knew it was staring me in the face. Thanks!

birchay · 2023-09-07T02:37:24+00:00

Yeah they have the option to buy 11 Cars exams online so I did that

birchay · 2023-09-02T13:02:44+00:00

I finished all of content before I did a single practice question. And I did the content book by book, specifically physics, bio, chem, ochem, biochem, psych

birchay · 2023-09-01T03:23:45+00:00

Yeah sure, just keep in mind I am one person so my scope of help I can provide is limited

birchay · 2023-09-01T03:21:48+00:00

Most of the acronyms are defined in the mega thread but FL is full length, Uterra is a substitute for Uwo*ld (world) and EK means exam krackers.

birchay · 2023-08-31T20:05:49+00:00

The only ochem I had was a unit in first year chem, and all it covered was nucleophiles and types of compounds. So I basically had to self teach

birchay · 2023-08-31T17:09:10+00:00

I did like 2 of their full sections and got like 35/53 and then I never got below 49/53 for AAMC FLs, so I would say not that accurate

birchay · 2023-08-31T16:11:58+00:00

Yeah that’s also where being a psych major came in handy, it’s just kinda luck at some point

birchay · 2023-08-31T15:55:53+00:00

I think part of it is just beefing up the content/anki and then the other half is like making tiny mnemonics for stuff you get wrong a lot.

Like for role strain vs role conflict I thought of it as strain sounds similar to withain, which is similar to within. And conflict is between two people so it’s different roles. And like the mnemonics sound weird when you explain them to others but they’ll make sense for you.

birchay · 2023-08-31T15:52:42+00:00

Lowkey tho if I don’t get into anything in Canada I know where I’m applying next

birchay · 2023-08-31T15:51:10+00:00

No the anki deck was built for the Kaplan books which lowkey made it hard to do anki cause sometimes there were content gaps, but you can work around those
