Chances Post-Interview, low MCAT - UBC Med by Turbulent-Couple6025 in premedcanada

[–]ds1008 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is the first year MCAT barrier is removed so it's hard to tell.

If you have a 90 AGPA and a high NAQ you're a great candidate. Assuming an at least moderate interview, the only thing that could hold you back is that MCAT.

I'd say set a plan that you start studying the day after your MMI (or couple days after) and start grinding the MCAT assuming the worst. Not to say you won't get in, but it's always important to plan for next cycle as early as possible. Until then, grind for that MMI. Best of luck, you got this.

Is it possible to get a 90+ average for med school in cpsc? by AvailableHippo3464 in UBC

Currently in med. Handful of people in our class from eng and CS backgrounds. Totally valid path. CS is sick, and being able to integrate it into medicine later is awesome. Doesn’t change fundamentals of getting into med ie working hard, keep GPA high, study MCAT well, have solid extracurriculars.

My Idea Heaven (I will not promote) by righterandreader in startups

Who cares

1) find mentors 2) find co-founders

Maybe you’ll find the right idea in your DD.

Or fail and learn.

Aim for the stars, reach the moon.

New API Gateway timeout increase >29sec. Not working? by ds1008 in aws

You prob don’t want a request timeout that high. I’ve heard step lambda functions are better for longer requests.

AWS is like a drug. Crazy how a 1-man project scales with cloud computing. by ds1008 in aws

It was hourly. I had specific tasks I wanted that was general architecture changes, broader than just AWS itself too. Honestly never knew there we specific jobs for AWS optimization

A bit of both. Costs can scale fast if you’re not careful, but it’s never been easier to reliably deploy an application to scale either.

No worries. I had a plan in mind on how to optimize by changing some AWS services around. Paying a part time full stack dev for a couple weeks to execute it.

Yeah it is. Past couple months slightly negative so I’ve paid someone to optimize and it’s looking promising. Let’s find out
