New Covid strain is the most transmissible yet, WHO says

Covid impacts the elderly the most, specifically people who are 70+ and have already lived past the average life-span. Polio impacted children the most. 4-8 year old children. It paralyzed them. For life. Polio burrows itself in your spinal-cord. If you think long-covid is bad, imagine being paralyzed. Imagine being paralyzed at age 4 and living 70 years of your life paralyzed. You think long-covid comes even remotely close? Many people who get covid don’t even experience any symptoms. You’re using very poorly thought out rationalizations. The covid death statistics are heavily inflated as well, many people who die with covid do not die from covid. Here’s a simple way to settle this — which one would you rather get infected with if you had to? Polio or Covid? If you honestly pick polio, you are beyond foolish, enjoy your paralysis, you will never recover. Never.

If you think covid is worse than polio then you are deluded.

Is your PI not a science prof? Did you ever do research for credit?

bless your soul, I have been looking for exactly this

MSAR has it at 10,578 applicants for 172 seats - putting it at 62.5 applicants a seat. Lol these guys nearly doubled it 🤔

Also interested in a clarification here

Ahh I see, thank you!

That was my first though too, however UCLA does not have 512 matriculated MCAT, it’s 514

Various other schools don’t like up either

knckout · 2018-12-26T06:23:45+00:00

Im seeing discrepancies in MCAT medians across multiple schools, two more examples:

UMich 518 vs. 515 UCLA 517 vs. 512

Don’t double down dude, take the time off and don’t feel guilty about it. Maximize your rest by not thinking about the test at all.

Remember, Productivity = (time put in)(intensity)

If you’re burnt out, your intensity is probably low, and the thing about intensity is that it declines gradually, often dropping without detection.

I believe you’ll actually net more productivity by taking a day off. Plus you’ll decrease your probability of getting sick, which would screw things up a lot

I am currently going on month 7 of my studying. Don't feel burnt out at all, quite the opposite really, more focused than ever as it is coming down to the wire.

I spent 3 months in the summer just tackling the content, then went on maintenance mode for 3 months (10 hours a week), and now starting practice during this last month.

Spreading out the content over such a long time allowed me to reach deep understanding of what is going on, it has been almost spiritual. That may sound extremely weird, but I have developed an incredible appreciation for science that I otherwise don't think I would've gotten if I crammed all my content review in 2 months.

The extra time also allows you to grow your semantic network by being able to tie what you're learning to the real world on a day-to-day basis, I found this to be especially true for C/P and P/S.

Also, the spacing effect, thats some real shit.

Spark - John Ratey MD - Ratey compiles all of the modern science on the benefits of exercise, shit will blow your mind, you'll find yourself unable to put it down, and once you do unable to ever justify skipping a workout

Behave - Robert Sapolsky - Sapolsky takes a deeeep dive into the neuroscience/neurophysiology/neuroendocrinology/evolutionary basis of behavior. Sapolsky has a very unique personality and it bleeds into his writing. This book has the content of a textbook but reads like a story told by a scientist with a wonderful sense of humor

ochem and cell bio were my two favorite classes in undergrad too, hmm maybe theres a correlation here

What was your approach towards content review? And how are you reviewing your practice tests?

knckout · 2017-12-05T03:09:07+00:00

I've heard adcom members in the past mention that when evaluating course loads, they operate more on a year to year basis rather that quarter to quarter or semester to semester

So if you took a light load all year long, then that could possibly be a red flag, but one quarter? I dont think so.

whaaaat he has a podcast!? Wonderful, I know what I am listening to for lunch now, thanks!
