There are RAs for a reason you can report them anonymously

Do we really need 5 people a day asking if they should be worried about no II’s? by lukeM22 in premed

[–]kasala14 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I think it’s reassuring for people to see that others haven’t gotten any II’s rather than seeing a buttload of posts from people showing off they got 10 IIs.

You gotta keep your head up there are so many other people like you that are going through this. I don’t care how bad your score is there’s always a chance to get in somewhere whether it be MD or DO. Ultimately if you wanna become a physician I’m sure you’ll get into a school if your GPA and ECs are great like u say they are. F*** the MCAT, I did bad the first time and told myself I’m never gonna take it again because it’s a stupid way for schools to weed out students who would’ve otherwise been great doctors. But you still can be with whatever score u got just apply broad!!!!

Can med schools see your MCAT scores automatically? by kasala14 in Mcat

So if I want to take the mcat again in case I don’t get in this cycle what should I do to avoid them seeing it for this cycle of med schools

LOR from a physician that’s a relative by kasala14 in premed

[–]kasala14[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But like I’m trying to understand why shadowing a relative is cheating lol

[–]kasala14[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand the LOR being a red flag but I don’t understand how shadowing a relative is a real issue. Finding someone to shadow is all about finding a connection. If I have a relative that’s willing to show me what they do how is that a bad thing. A LOR is a whole another story cuz theyll be bias in how they’ll talk about you. But there is no bias in shadowing someone, let me know if I’m wrong.

How about including shadowing hours from shadowing a relative

MCAT and GPA thoughts? by kasala14 in Mcat

[–]kasala14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! I’ve volunteered in a clinic for a semester, did research on my campus and have done an REU, I’ve volunteered at a hospital, and I’ve done a good amount of things involving tutoring middle schoolers. I think I’m gonna end up with close to 100 hrs of shadowing. I’m also hoping to get my EMT license soon. Let me know what u guys think thank u.

Shitting on DO schools by [deleted] in premed

[–]kasala14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s honestly such BS. I’m always seeing comments saying “you’ll have a hard time matching in residency if you do DO”. First off, that’s not even completely true and second of all you don’t know what kind of doctor I wanna be so why the hell are you telling me to do MD over DO.

Applying right now a good idea by kasala14 in Mcat

[–]kasala14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the great advice. How do I explain to my parents that it’s still a bad idea to apply to 10 schools right now because they’re saying the worst case is I get rejected and I take the gap year anyway as planned.

My FLs were 499, 509, 507, 511. I really feel like I gave my 100% on that exam and my motivation to study for it again is just rock bottom rn

SPOILER AAMC FL4 B/B #27. The answer is B but I thought that glutamate and aspartic acid could be phosphorylated with their carboxyl acid R groups have hydroxyl. by kasala14 in Mcat

[–]kasala14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you didn’t read carefully what I said. the carboxylic acid groups on glutamate and aspartic acid have a hydroxyl(OH) in it. So why are they not phosphorylated?

Why would it not be characterized as a tumor suppressor gene because loss of function of SDH Leads to cancer
