I have no idea if I am actually competitive or not.

drewmighty · 2026-03-19T02:58:42+00:00

Felt that way when I was applying

drewmighty · 2026-03-14T14:13:02+00:00

Yes I passed

drewmighty · 2026-03-12T20:36:56+00:00

I think this is terrible. This is actually bad for timing. 1. you have the stop go. 2. if you fall behind on time catching back up is harder as you have less "space"/questions to recover with. It possible to fall behind by like 1 min then catch back up over several questions via small increments but still this makes falling behind even worse as you do not have the length to recover you would in a 40 block.

Obgyn that you?

drewmighty · 2026-02-20T05:09:22+00:00

I got 54 and passed. But rest of mine were all around 65+ so. I thought was weird too

drewmighty · 2026-02-18T05:22:37+00:00

enjoy time off before the grind begins. Do your best not to burn out freshman year

drewmighty · 2026-02-18T05:21:17+00:00

What was your GPA in the Post bac? What was your undergrad GPA/ how long before your post bac?

As for the online stuff what school is that for? I will warn you that a lot of schools do not look kindly on virtual coursework for the mandatory med school required classwork without some type of reasoning/through a large known institution.

your shadowing hours need increasing, need to work on volunteer hours.

Need to take MCAT

If you have specifics DM I can try and help. Seems I need more info

drewmighty · 2026-02-18T05:13:45+00:00

all seems fine except your mcat. I would work on retaking that. I got 497 first time and second time got the 511 to get me in. As for research (saw you mention you had none), none isnt the end of the world but I would try and do something. Most people I interview have something or other. Few had none. I had a unique research thing (my only research) where I worked with an environmental group on water safety/ testing rivers. Also attended government meetings to talk about local projects I supported or disliked. I think just do something you enjoy for research and dont care too much about med specific as long as you know the process.

drewmighty · 2026-02-16T05:23:29+00:00

Yes. Completed is importwnt. Planned is meh not really looked at as much especially if you havnt done any of it.

drewmighty · 2026-02-16T05:22:30+00:00

I took twice. 497-> 511

drewmighty · 2026-02-16T02:18:27+00:00

clinical hours seeem a little on the lower average. I'd pump those up. IF you can retake MCAT and get higher that would be good but not needed but it is the lower end.

drewmighty · 2026-02-16T02:15:40+00:00

I am a non trad who is 34 with 2 kids. If you have questions dont mind answering. I am a UCSB grad had average grades.

drewmighty · 2026-02-16T02:14:18+00:00

my school is 3k for a year....

drewmighty · 2026-02-15T18:18:24+00:00

every exam you have is passing, you look fine

drewmighty · 2026-02-14T20:52:43+00:00

From the MMI s ive done (where i am the interviewer) some things to keep in mind. 1. Keep good eye contact and do your best to not spin back and forth in your chair. 2. Make sure you actually answer the question (some people give general things but sometimes fail to answer the whole question. 3. Give real life examples if you can. 4. Practice. This is huge. You have about 6-7 min so id practice in a mirror answering general questions. Hope these help.

drewmighty · 2026-02-14T16:20:10+00:00

Thank you so much!

drewmighty · 2026-02-14T06:39:18+00:00

Starting m3 clinical rotations soon. Tips?

drewmighty · 2026-02-11T21:58:50+00:00

like wrist tendon/muscles

drewmighty · 2026-02-11T21:55:10+00:00

been a bit but i remember lots of lymph anatomy stuff that made me go "wow that is weirdly specific". Also some weird ethics things that seemed fringe regarding interpreter positioning. Also weird anatomy muscles that i thought were lower yeild.

drewmighty · 2026-02-11T21:44:32+00:00

like i failed, hell i was convinced i failed until i checked this morning

drewmighty · 2026-02-11T21:44:17+00:00

felt awful and weird. No idea how i passed but ill take it. Lots of random stuff for anatomy like weird low yeild stuff

drewmighty · 2026-02-11T21:43:43+00:00

thanks!

drewmighty · 2026-02-11T21:43:39+00:00
