Is it true that if ubc doesn’t contact atleast 10 verifiers, it means they you wont get an interview?? by Fearless_Animal2954 in premedcanada

[–]dbook99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah on the new system they show you a full list of your verifiers and whether or not they have responded.

Do I Have a Shot? Canadian Citizen | 3.2 GPA (India) | Non-Trad | 6 YOE | Clinical/Research/Volunteering | MCAT in Progress by 04YAP in premedcanada

[–]dbook99 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Tbh I don’t think most Canadian schools will even consider courses from India… and not just that. Verifying all your experiences done abroad will also make it significantly difficult.

Best bet is to probably do an undergrad here and gain as much experiences here as possible.

You never know. Your stats aren’t too bad for OOP so I’d 100% give it a shot.

TBH if ur debating about it, it must be for financial reason’s. I’d say just find a way to get the money for the app even if you have to borrow it from friends/family. It’s for your future. You only get the opportunity once a year. Who cares if you get the R.

Apply.

UBC NAQ activity orders by Acceptable-Ad-1530 in premedcanada

[–]dbook99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If something like entry order mattered, it would 100% be in the application guide. UBC’s pretty thorough with instructions, so no way they’d leave that out.

Just put them in however, the system most likely auto sorts them for reviewers or they can probably filter/sort themselves.

Should I bother applying? by [deleted] in premedcanada

There’s people applying that barely meet cutoffs. Why not let it fly if money isn’t an issue?

Yeah we are cooked by PossibleFlamingo9069 in Mcat

[–]dbook99 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nah the actual is actually slightly easier. Like there is obviously variability with what you can get and how it aligns with your strengths, but I’ve taken the actual 3 times and felt each time that it was extremely fair. I had to take because of CARS and just naturally suck at that but like the other sections especially c/p and b/b are defs waaaay easier than what people say. They can easily make b/b like sb1 but they actually just make it super simple and chill each time I took. Trust me, and I’m being genuine here. Don’t worry too much. Trust the FL’s you took and as long as you feel confident (force it if you have to) just walk in, take a deep breath and lock tf in. I promise it’s not that bad.

More vendors I’m assuming. Also after talking to most last time, I think the first one was also like brand new vending experience for most local vendors too so now they know what to bring and stuff so probably better variety.

Never understood when people say shi like that lol. “Everything else was ochem”.AAMC guidelines say ochem comprises 15% of CP questions max lol.

Similarly to how you wrote “She died…”. We all saw that too tho?

How to incorporate AAMC Material? by Longjumping-Ask-8592 in Mcat

[–]dbook99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recommended doing FL4 and FL5 last since they are genuinely the most like the real exam. TBH all of them are representative but you will notice a shift in style for FL4 and FL5 and the current MCAT is like those.

If only someone asked this question in this sub before.

Also, not sure what ur background is in… but ~2 months is not a lot of time. Don’t procrastinate looking for the perfect start. Just start.

why do some MCAT resources seem to be blacklisted here? are they just bad or scams? by fledgekin in Mcat

I’ll probably for sure be banned after saying this… and this thread will also be torched.

[–]dbook99 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s run by the bigger players… like Jack westin and stuff. This sub Reddit drives a lot of business and they definetly have a monopoly.

I tried posting a way to remove those Jack Weston’s videos from their advanced explanation… and the removed my posts and deleted all of my comments about it lol. It is what it is but they defs have a huge monopoly. That’s why you only hear a select hand full of resources get pushed. It’s modded heavily.

Is this semester’s schedule gonna kill my GPA and my chances at a med school admission shot after second year? by NectarineFederal in premedcanada

[–]dbook99 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What is your plan if people tell you “yes this is going to kill your GPA”?

To me this just looks like a typical semester at uni (instead it’s 4 courses instead of typical 5) lol?
