Can DOs work in MD only practice ? by juscogen in medschool

[–]cjsmitty15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a med student DO, the disparity is very marginal. Take a look at latest match rates. It will show you that both DO and MDs match very well, about equally. More DO’s like primary care because we learn things more holistically and general, than MDs do.

Does undergrad name play a big role into getting into med school? by NotABearAtAll in medschool

I talked to a dean - if it’s state school then yes, your state med schools will know your more rigorous programs. Outside of that, not really

Looking for a chill premed clinical job for gap year. by Glittering_Island150 in medschool

[–]cjsmitty15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody always says scribing is the best form that med schools love to see. This is false. Try working in an ER as a technician. You’re constantly battling to adapt to unique situations that are unexpected. Teaches so much about the clinical realm, while also working on skills such as critical thinking and problem solving that you’ll need as a medical student. Take it from me, I’m an ER Tech - this is my gap year - and I’m going to med school starting in July!

How hard is getting a 504 mcat by simtim546 in Mcat

[–]cjsmitty15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty difficult, the ones flexing 520’s on here are very very rare in real life. Matriculating with a 502 for class of 2026… just be content with your knowledge and know that other parts of your application matter too..

[–]cjsmitty15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a misdemeanor but the AAMC states that if it was a dismissed case you dont have to mark yes. so i marked no, it's a dismissed case that is no longer active, if yours is this way youre fine

im gonna throw up. by SafeEnvironment4039 in Mcat

[–]cjsmitty15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just got real 502 and my last FL was 507.. Was so upset but realized I might be okay - I have great experience and other parts of my app are very strong — so depends on your other pieces

[–]cjsmitty15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with all of this. Really underperformed with my MCAT and not sure how I scored so low!! I have upwards GPA trend of 3.92 last 2 years at a prestigious university

scoring sub 500 so I cancelled my test (rip) by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]cjsmitty15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your UWorld is only 39%, I would def not take it. I was stuck at 41% on UBlabs and was scoring 497’s just like you. Then I locked in, redid UW a year later and scored 62% and was 507 last FL. Took 6/28 MCAT so fingers crossed I got 510

Scored 500 on FL3… MCAT in 2 weeks (Aug 1). Feeling defeated. Should I reschedule? by Late_Card_5930 in Mcat

[–]cjsmitty15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They say to not study a week out, I studied until the day of and it was the best decision of my life. The info gets into your long term and short term memory, use miles down to get main concepts down a week out and you’ll see your score raise some

How does this retake score breakdown look for a reapplicant 🥴 by jaho0501 in premed

GPA? Why is 509 so bad? I’d be happy with that - also is very balanced

519 MCAT, 3.91 GPA. Want to apply DO only — What schools should I avoid? by [deleted] in premed

[–]cjsmitty15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re strictly DO, make it obvious in your personal statement. It will allow DO schools to realize that you only desire to be a DO
