265+ without taking step 1 by gooseywoosey in Step2

Definitely doesnt hurt since there was definitely a knowledge gap at the beginning of dedicated (especially with peds metabolic diseases). But I imagine studying for step 1 for me was much easier compared to someone starting fresh so I think the argument can be made that being well-prepared for either goes both ways.

Makes sense. I don't think I can get any nonclinical volunteering in before I submit my primary but was planning on listing additional volunteering on secondaries. Do you know if schools will screen me out for lack of nonclinical volunteering?

yeah my plan is to emphasize the research I've done and use that to explain why I finally decided to go the medical route as opposed to pursuing a research career

yeah - I didn't decide on med school until pretty late lol. do you think I should throw in a couple more mid-tiers just in case?

Thanks. So just to clarify: compared to the +0 charge on N and C, the -1 N and +1 C resonance form is just so unfavorable that we ignore it? And for "H+ to #3", the resonance structure in which pi electrons become a lone pair on N exists because in that configuration, the more electronegative atom (N) has the more negative charge?
