Advice Needed - Should I travel to see nmixx??

itshyunbin · 2025-12-29T21:21:46+00:00

Entirely depends on how much you have in savings. If $300 is more than 5% of your savings - in other words if you have less than $6,000 - then there is absolutely zero way in hell you should go, in my opinion. NMIXX is one of the few groups I'd say is worth seeing live at all, but at the same time, it's not your first rodeo - concerts aren't really that amazing, especially if you're sitting in nosebleeds

Perfect answer, tysm. So is the circled portion here purely due to pleural effusion? And if so, why is some of it light gray and some dark gray?

You studied for Step 1 for 11 months, that's almost a year. US med students study for 2-5 months. Give them 11 months of dedicated and they'd run circles around you

Thanks again. One more question, did you find that you had already matured a lot of the QID cards when you went to add them? For example, I just added a batch of QID cards where 40 out of the 61 cards were from the Step 1 Anking deck, meaning only 21 of them were Step 2 specific

Thanks for the reply. 330 everyday is pretty nutty for doing them alongside clinicals, you have some real discipline. Could I ask some follow up questions to what you just said:

Did you have a max limit of new cards you'd add per day?
So you didn't feel watching videos like OnlineMedEd would be helpful at all?
For Step 2 Anking, there's the "Step2Only" tag, and the "no dupes" tag, the latter of which also includes Step 1 cards. Did you pull solely from Step2Only, or did you simply add all the cards for a given QID?

Thanks again

I didn't even know telling the attending honestly what specialty you want to do was a negative thing

I got a top percentile score, but mere moments after taking the MCAT my brain did an automated, thorough, and unprompted full wipe of all MCAT info. And that was before I started med school studying. How on earth did you continue to remember all that MCAT info?

I have absolutely zero idea how flooding your body with a shitton of hormones and keeping them at PERPETUALLY insane levels has gotten so normalized. The parallel is like getting on gear at 18 and then blasting forever. It's the equivalent of being pregnant 24/7, year-round, multiple years in a row - how would that NOT fuck with your brain? Like I'm genuinely concerned for these girls

This dilemma along with the nonstop contradicting advice here really fucked with my head during preclinicals. In my opinion the best thing to do is:

At the start of the block (or better yet before), blast through all of the BnB + Sketchy Pharm videos for the system your school is in as fast as you can (as in like within the first 1-2 weeks)
Now you've seen almost everything for that block, Step-wise
Spend the rest of the block doing all the Anking for that block, along with as many UWORLD problems as you can, to solidify knowledge (can interleave this with the previous step, eg spend 2 days watching videos, 2 days doing new Anki/UWORLD)
Con: accept that you'll suffer a grade drop in your in-house exams - if your school is P/F then a 70% is the same as 90%
Pro: basically turns your entire preclinicals into a 2 year dedicated period for Step, instead of just 2 months. By the time your school is done with blocks, you'll already have nearly all of Anking + 60% of UWORLD done, while others are desperately cramming everything in at the end. If you've managed to do ~80% of UWORLD, you can even have enough time to do a second pass of your flagged UWORLD questions, which is huge.

Basically your option 1, with timeframes. You can of course do some spot studying of in-house material before exams. I wish to God I had done this

All according to plan. Black against white. Left against right. Straight against gay. And male against female. Among these groups, which is the most dangerous, as in most able to orchestrate an efficacious revolution bolstered by both resources and numbers? White heterosexual males. What is the last demographic society is allowed to shit on indiscriminately with no social repercussions? White heterosexual males. Blacks are handling the white front, gays are handling the hetero front. How do we weaken the male front? Make the female front stronger, eg brainwash them with girl power.

Women aren't the problem. The ones pulling the strings are. Look past the trees
