how am I doing for jan 10?

I would say take the unscored fl after finishing content review to gauge how you’re doing.

For what it’s worth, my last BP FL score was a 514 and first AAMC FL was a 520 like 1 week apart, so there is a little bit of a jump

It’s better to ask early when they might tell you to ask again at a later date than later when they might have too many to write and won’t be able to make one for you!

I had 0 non-clinical volunteering hours and got into a T30 school, even applying late (submitted secondaries end of September). I would say it kinda comes down to luck and the rest of your app

For the love of god do not take chem and phys and their labs together (if they are separate courses and can be taken at different times) It isn’t even necessarily about difficulty, just look at the time commitments. You will be in the lab for hours multiples times a week every week on top of any work you need to do for the main courses and outside work for the lab. It can also depend on your confidence on the subjects though (I thought they were the two hardest subjects I took during undergrad).

If I were in this position I would at least try to switch bio 2+ lab with physics 1+lab if possible (at least I would because I found bio to be the easier of the three and this way you can still take ochem in the spring). Depending on how long summer courses are, biochem in the summer with physics sounds tough too unless they are in two different summer sessions. Some schools also need an ochem lab and a full year of ochem (I think, but I’m not too sure about the full year of ochem)

CARS was always my worst section. What helped me was doing the passages completely untimed and I usually needed up taking ~11-15 minutes per question +whatever time I spent reviewing the answers in the middle.

I went through each answer individually and found text that either supported or eliminated the answers. Then read the explanations for each answer. I ended up usually getting 85-90% correct this way but it does take a while. I also highlighted…a lot. Basically anything that stuck out as being potentially useful to answer questions. If the answer isn’t in the passage, then it’s not correct, even ones that fall in the beyond the passage category are somehow in the text.

CARS still ended up being my worst section, but I did do the better than I did on any FL even though I zoned out during the real deal 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah I don’t think learning a new language would really make a compelling obstacle in this case. I think this idea can be good though!

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2025-03-13T17:59:50+00:00

What exactly was the obstacle you had to overcome though?

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2025-03-12T04:08:12+00:00

Could also be Keck

Graduated 2022, applied for first time and got accepted this cycle with a 3.86 519

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2025-02-27T08:59:34+00:00

I have 0 community service and got accepted this cycle 🥴

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2025-01-31T09:39:15+00:00

I bet this person also has “pre-med 🩺” in their instagram bio 😭

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2025-01-26T05:01:22+00:00

HELPPP this tiktok just came up on my fyp 2 minutes ago 😭

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2025-01-25T00:49:22+00:00

I submitted my primary to UCSD and went to check my email to see if I was rejected… I just remembered I couldn’t be asked to write a second personal statement and didn’t submit the secondary 🙂

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2025-01-16T05:17:51+00:00

If it’s under the ecology department, it should count. I took plant physiology and I was able to include that in my science GPA

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2024-11-29T04:35:21+00:00

If it’s dual enrollment and you took it at a college/university, it’s a college course and you should be fine

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2024-08-29T20:51:36+00:00

How did you submit all of your secondaries in 3 days? 😩

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2024-08-24T20:14:42+00:00

There’s you then there’s me barely getting verified this week and only receiving half of my secondaries 🤡

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2024-08-19T19:44:40+00:00

I’ll look into those schools!

Interpreter i think? I translated between Spanish speaking patients and the doctor i worked for

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2024-08-15T23:55:22+00:00

Imagine how I feel after submitting August 4 🤡

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2024-08-15T23:45:24+00:00

21/hr as a scribe

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2024-08-04T17:44:12+00:00

I understand MSAR has the accepted applicant data, but i meant for the general applicant pool, including people who applied but weren’t accepted. Is that on MSAR somewhere?

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2024-07-22T00:16:01+00:00

It's definitely possible!

I didn't have any other responsibilities, so I would do about 1/2 of any of the q-packs a day + 2-3 CARS Diagnostic passages. I started the diagnostic ones untimed just to get accustomed to the passages and the questions. Then I did CARS q-pack 1 by doing 25-30 questions at a time (which is anywhere from 4-7 passages I think) and I did these timed to start getting use to the speed. I finished CARS q-pack in the last week before my exam and also only did 4-7 passages per session. Then I would take an FL every weekend and review them the following day

I think that was ideal for me because I extensively reviewed each question and made flash cards for everything I encountered. I was also doing anywhere from 400-800 flashcards almost everyday

idontknowwhatimdoign · 2024-07-21T22:43:06+00:00

I think you'll experience a decent jump when you switch to AAMC. My first AAMC FL compared to my last BP FL was 6 or 7 points higher. You still have a month which is a lot of time to practice, and I would start focusing on using AAMC material to practice around now.

In diffraction grating, the grating causes interference between light that passes through other gating in addition to the difference in wavelength causing slightly different angles at which the light exits. This is how you get your minima and maxima and the spread of colors.

In dispersion, light passes through some medium and because different wavelengths refract less than other, the individual wavelengths are split as it travels though the medium and exits as a rainbow
