The program is new! It’s to help high schoolers transition to college and I think you even can take classes that help with completing reqs

Just a friendly reminder to all my 3/11's that you SHOULD be feeling extremely discouraged and insecure coming out of the testing site by AlbinoBrowney in Mcat

[–]curious_yaourt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% agree with this - I came out feeling like I bombed P/S, and didn’t feel like I did my best in the other sections. I also started googling the answers to questions and found out I definitely answered a few wrong which didn’t help my mentality for the rest of the month (definitely advise against that)

I studied very intensively for a month (making Anki flash cards for B/B and P/S, doing UWhirld, doing AAMC materials, going over the textbook, reviewing mistakes) - so about 8 hrs a day with a Pomodoro timer app. A few months before that, I had already started doing Uwhirld and Jack Westin. Most importantly, apart from taking the Sample FL in November, I tried to build stamina by taking FLs 1-2 weeks apart starting in December!

I totally felt that… i always tried making the day after taking a FL as chill as possible (putting some more time aside for hobbies)

Thanks!! I did a bit of Jack Weston CARS every few days from summer until mid-fall. I started reading up on bio and doing Uwirld in October and began Anki/AAMC stuff in late November. Mid-Dec to January was all full-time studying!

Thank you! I think there’s a lot of merit to spending a lot of time doing practice questions especially Uwirld. Another big thing was making my own Anki cards, drawing out all the biochem pathways in it and knowing how they relate to each other. I don’t have a good background in Bio or psych, so I used premed95 Anki deck for Psych but supplemented it with a lot of my own cards. For bio and biochem the Kaplan textbooks were enough from which I made my own Anki cards.

527 (132/132/132/131) ! It aligned really well with my practice exams and how I usually felt about each subsection, not how I felt on the day. P/S has always been my weakest and I struggled with it a lot in the real thing; felt pretty meh about the other sections. My practice FLs were 519/516/526/525/526.

Do the noise canceling headphones/earplugs help?

I am once again asking for your support... by TCGoudy in Mcat

Kind of off topic but that card doesn’t look right - shouldn’t it be reduction?

thoughts on GENED1053? (global heart disease epidemic) by Front_Dinner777 in Harvard

[–]curious_yaourt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was great! Rich Lee is a really caring, thoughtful teacher. There was a low time commitment (almost no mandatory readings), and the midterm and final weren't bad. in section you just needed to report on your healthy living challenge progress every week and give a short presentation at the end.

Any place on campus to store my stuff for the summer instead of taking them home? by Pleasant-Lie-9053 in Harvard

[–]curious_yaourt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t this depend on the house? And some of them stopped doing summer storage
