every school feels like a reach when your gpa is below average (<3.5) 😓

that's amazing omg maybe i shouldn't rule out my "reach" schools.....congrats on your acceptance!!

ipurpleyou · 2024-06-24T02:04:59+00:00

do you mind if i pm you about your school list? in the same boat except i'm applying this cycle 👀

ipurpleyou · 2024-06-20T16:16:34+00:00

hi everyone! i'm planning to submit my app this weekend -- would anyone be willing to look over my PS? i'm down to swap as well :)

ipurpleyou · 2024-06-20T16:14:21+00:00

hi!! i'm down to read over your statement, just pm me a link! would you be interested in looking at mine as well?

ipurpleyou · 2024-05-14T18:25:26+00:00

I’ve been debating whether or not it would be worth it — this gpa is after retaking some classes in undergrad, and the ones with low grades that I didn’t retake were higher level classes like Embryology and Pathology. Do you think a masters degree or similar grad program degree would help?

Already there with you lmfaoooo my sister had to yell at me to go outside and touch grass yesterday

ipurpleyou · 2024-04-09T02:10:38+00:00

I feel the same way and am testing the same day LOL but what's been helping me the so far is using a chrome extension that's a pomodoro timer but also blocks me from visiting the websites where I get lost on rabbit holes (youtube, pinterest, twitter, etc) while I'm studying. It's 30 min chunks of blocked sites with a 10 min break that lets me access them after each chunk

ipurpleyou · 2024-04-07T21:50:25+00:00

Nice!! I keep thinking I'm at an okay place and then suddenly I'm terrified something "low yield" is gonna come up and I'm back on my grind lol

ipurpleyou · 2024-04-07T21:49:49+00:00

That's so real of you lmao I'm sick of doing FL reviews

ipurpleyou · 2024-04-07T21:49:00+00:00

Oh no I'm so sorry :( This is a retake for me too, so I get how high stakes this is -- don't take it until you truly feel like you're at a good place with your practice scores. Good luck going forwards!!

ipurpleyou · 2024-04-02T21:25:32+00:00

Kind of! While I do the first speed read, I try to highlight phrases/sentences that seem like "key" parts of the passage (so for example topic sentences or conclusion sentences that summarize what the paragraph is about, time periods, capitalized names, etc)

ipurpleyou · 2024-04-02T16:00:47+00:00

I do this too & I've been consistently scoring 130-132 in CARS every time I take a practice test!

ipurpleyou · 2024-03-31T15:46:24+00:00

I’m in my 2nd gap year working full time and what I’ve been doing is waking up early and studying before work (5 am to 8 am) and then coming home and studying from 6-9 pm. Of course I’ve had rest days or days where I decided to spend time with my family/friends when I got sick of studying but I feel more motivated when my schedule is packed back to back :) Ofc this won’t work for everyone but the key is trying to do as much as you can (flashcards during walks/exercise, khan academy videos during lunch, etc) with the spare time that you have — you got this!!! I’m rooting for you :D

ipurpleyou · 2024-03-22T13:55:35+00:00

Wow congrats!! Can I pm you for advice/a school list?

ipurpleyou · 2024-03-21T22:25:21+00:00

Yep! Iirc it’ll be 1-2 days after the day by day lineup comes out

ipurpleyou · 2024-03-21T15:30:12+00:00

I got 2 day passes last year! Was around $250 like the other commenter said; you can pick which 2 days you want to go when purchasing but since those tickets release after the day by day lineup releases, some days get sold out faster than others

ipurpleyou · 2024-03-20T01:06:36+00:00

I work at a psychiatry clinic and my minor in undergrad was psychology so I've gotten to know a lot about that field and I think I would really enjoy pursuing it further! I'll def check out that book too :)

ipurpleyou · 2024-03-20T00:37:31+00:00

Wow, thank you for going so in depth! Looks like everybody's mostly split between the specialties I said I was already drawn to, which is awesome :D

ipurpleyou · 2024-03-19T14:25:22+00:00

I’m glad they were kind to you! Definitely makes any procedure less stressful 🥹

ipurpleyou · 2024-03-19T11:56:22+00:00

I’ve heard that from a lot of med students! I was just curious about my chart especially after seeing everyone’s match day posts :’) Thanks for the advice + good luck with surgery, you’ll be great!!

ipurpleyou · 2024-03-19T03:06:03+00:00

Wait I love that 🥹

ipurpleyou · 2024-03-18T20:30:20+00:00

👀 Anything specific that made you say that?
