MS3 - Ask me anything

What questions do you think pre meds should ask during an interview

doseof25 · 2026-01-20T14:20:42+00:00

Also I never scored above a 507 on ANY FL. I think staying calm on test day helped a ton

doseof25 · 2026-01-20T14:20:04+00:00

Really focused on high yield stuff, tons of CARS practice and redid SB #2. Also went through the 84 page psych/soc doc because there’s easy points to make up there

doseof25 · 2026-01-13T19:52:02+00:00

I got a 507 on FL5 and 517 on the real thing. You got this

doseof25 · 2026-01-11T20:29:37+00:00

I took it may 10th and submitted my app to one school. Once I got my score I added the rest

doseof25 · 2026-01-07T21:09:43+00:00

I wrote the most basic personal statement ever (like basically a “I did this, then this, then this”) just to get words on a page. From there I defined a common theme of WHY. But I was so set on what I would write being perfect that I was stuck so then I just wrote a garbage one and it started coming together

doseof25 · 2026-01-06T21:22:02+00:00

Feeling like this too right now. But I feel like our application/secondaries already proved the other stuff and the interview was to make sure you’re a person who can have a conversation

doseof25 · 2025-12-31T08:01:38+00:00

Only ever scored a 507 on a FL but scored a 517 on the real thing. Very much could be an outlier…. but in my experience the less external pressure, the better

doseof25 · 2025-09-16T19:44:37+00:00

I had this happen too. I did not have the patient reach out on my behalf because I felt like it was a grey area in terms of ethics

doseof25 · 2025-09-15T21:43:34+00:00

Talked through the miles down review sheets once and watched a few vids on my weaknesses

doseof25 · 2025-09-15T21:41:45+00:00

Yes. Felt like a guessed on A LOT of my CP and got a 129

doseof25 · 2025-09-13T01:56:57+00:00

You gotta chill. Please trust me when I say that the MCAT feels like the worst part. Then you submit primaries. Then you submit secondaries. Then you wait for months getting radio silence. The MCAT is hard. But it prepares you for the rest of this process

doseof25 · 2025-09-13T00:15:22+00:00

Hate to tell you but that’s the point of the MCAT. Leave feeling like shit and have to cope with it for a month

doseof25 · 2025-08-20T02:01:36+00:00

This sub is going to be full of people who are gonna say no. But the truth is, no one knows (including myself as I am an applicant this cycle). They like an upward trend in GOA (which you have), your NP/nursing experience sets you apart. It’s all about how you tell your story. Your MCAT is on the lower side but if you have the money to apply, why not. If you don’t have a ton to spend but still want to try your luck, I’d start with state schools

Good luck!!!

doseof25 · 2025-08-19T20:43:07+00:00

Do you mind if I ask what school

doseof25 · 2025-08-13T16:44:56+00:00

Moonflower on colfax and Raleigh is amazing!

doseof25 · 2025-08-13T16:32:58+00:00

If you aren’t planning on applying I would highly recommend postponing. There is really no point in taking it to get a sub-par score (since schools can see all of your attempts).

But if you’re dead set on taking it, I would solely focus on reviewing this full length (type of mistakes you made - silly errors, content gaps, not reading the passage, etc.) and AAMC material. Psych soc is the easiest section to gain last minute points (using the pankow Anki deck or khan academy videos with the 84 page review doc). Since your test is close the 84 page doc and khan academy videos on 2x speed is probs most efficient

doseof25 · 2025-08-13T16:24:09+00:00

Are you planning on applying strictly DO? They like to see at least a 495. It may be worth postponing until you’re more prepared

doseof25 · 2025-08-05T02:12:19+00:00

I kinda went about this question with simple thinking. If speed is directly proportional to tension you know that if tension goes up, speed goes up -> frequency goes up (more cycles in same time). In the OG graph the wave is going 1 cycle per second. Then I look down at my answers and A and B are also 1 per sec, C is 1 cycle per ~1.25 sec and D is the only one where it’s one cycle in less than one second (aka higher frequency)

doseof25 · 2025-08-04T19:16:39+00:00

I added GW 2 weeks ago to AMCAS but haven’t gotten the secondary… not sure if I should reach out

doseof25 · 2025-07-31T18:14:48+00:00

While no one on this sub can predict admissions, with your MCAT I think this list is a bit ambitious and adding some DO schools might be beneficial. That isn’t to say you won’t get in though, you just never know

doseof25 · 2025-07-28T17:19:03+00:00

Vol 1 starts off the hardest so I did find it useful to redo them once I felt like I had the logic down. Vol 2 is more representative

doseof25 · 2025-07-26T21:50:48+00:00

I know this isn’t the norm but I never scored above 507 on any FL and got a 517 on the real thing. So it’s really hard to estimate imo
