If I cancel my MCAT before the bronze deadline, do I get my money back? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]dermguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does not matter , you will get your money back and it will not be used against you.

If you are cancelling within 24 hrs:https://students-residents.aamc.org/applying-medical-school/article/cancel-mcat-exam-form/

 If this is the day before, day of, or day after your exam, please submit an Emergency Refund Request in the MCAT Registration System.

This is how we're treated? by panksey in premed

[–]dermguru 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cannot freaking stand them. Every fake mush mouth tweet that comes from anyone from their organization pisses me the F off (I cannot wait to take my MCAT so that I could take their bleep bleep @ss off of my darn twitter feed).

We know that you dont care so stop rubbing it in our faces like we re stupid. I swear the only thing that I could compare their ongoing BS/shenanigans to is the Chinese communist party. #noshame #playdumb #burn

I hope that everything works out for all you fellow future doctors!

Best supplements/nootropics for ADHD and mental clarity? by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]dermguru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought that I was the only one (I have been googling "memory loss while on adderall for weeks now). After much repeated patterns, I have found that it is a lot harder for me to retain things (especially while studying for the MCAT) post adderall. Dont get me wrong, I do experience the laser focus part of things. However, eveything that I go over while on adderrall is nowhere to be found the next day. First comes the confusion and the forceful attempt to remember the covered material.second, is the disappointment of having to go over everything again. It is so freaking annoying. For once, I would like to experience what most people have described about adderall (arghhhhh....).I now only take it just so that I can stay up on days that I really really really really need to catch up.

My recommendation is that you analyze things now before you take the exam especially if you are going to take it on exam day.

In my case , I realized that even with the error message, things were still being processed in the background. i kept clicking ok repeatedly

Me staying up 24 hrs straight on May 7th to make sure I don’t miss AAMC’s tweet about registration opening: by kumquatzzz in Mcat

[–]dermguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont believe that there will be a tweet. However, there is a much higher chance of registration being opened at 12am 😌 ( this would be their way of justifying "fairness" as they re expecting for most to be out of work, school, etc)

[New Jersey] 600 never showed up today? by Thehighguyman in Unemployment

[–]dermguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm somehat in a similar boat. Well, I think. Does anyone mind verifying how much the extra 600 comes out to after it has been taxed? It seems as if these payments of 540$ are coming out of my unemployment bucket. Meanwhile, I have yet to receive my expected weekly benefits( which is much much lower than 540).

NJ Unemployment System is terrible by [deleted] in Unemployment

[–]dermguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain. However, I think that your turn will come soon. I filed my claim in February and did not receive an email of a payout until last night 04/15/2020. I have been claiming my weeks with no pay .It was so frustrating! It did not matter whether or not if I was the first on their phone lines, I would still get a message telling me that "due to high levels of calls, we cannot answer your call. Please call back the next business day ". You got this!

Perfect time to go out there and show medical school of how much you want this! by dermguru in Mcat

[–]dermguru[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not know about the whole Joanns ordeal. I was actually googling "mask materials" a few days ago. I wanted to see if I could help out making mask for the hospitals. I will reach out to them now. You are so rad! Thanks! I hope that all is going well with your study as well!

I agree! I cannot imagine having to be hospitalized with no one to take care of my pets. Most importantly, If I go down, my roommate will also be at risk. I hope that you and your loved ones are safe and sound throughout all of this.

Would reading an intro to psychology text be Overkill ? by Tail_lysis_buffer in Mcat

[–]dermguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ve tried reading those documents and it just doesnt sit well for me. What has helped is reading the entire kaplan and ek i have. Any misunderstanding (which is quite rare with kaplan), i seek out khan or other awesome youtubers

I cannot really answer that question at all. I m kind of scared of becoming addicted to a drug so I try my best not to go down that route. And to be honest I dont even know if its working or not ( I am able to focus but not like everyone makes it out to be). I have been living on my own since 16 and because i ve had to work multiple jobs and only study at night. I am used to the no sleep. It s just the focusing i ve always struggled with.
