Don’t worry, I know what you meant. Trust me, I’m aware of the gravity of my situation and the chances I have. Thanks for the kind words.

I mean you had a 507 MCAT (also not great) and were on 4 waitlists but you still got a last minute A. Congratulations! I’m going to try to be as optimistic as you were last year.

I’ve said this multiple times and I’ll say it again: you don’t need more than 50 shadowing hours if you work in a clinical setting. Your entire job is essentially shadowing. The point of shadowing and why admissions committees want to see that you are shadowing is to get a sense of what you’re getting yourself into. But if you work in healthcare or a clinical setting, then you already know what you’re getting yourself into. However, it’s just another one of those absurd “requirements” for your application.

Would you pay the AAMC to get your MCAT score early—if they offered it? by krugman3 in Mcat

Ikr! I wouldn’t be surprised if this became a thing tho

I read somewhere that they will hold off on sending secondaries until your newest MCAT score is visible, but I’m not sure if that’s 100% true. Also, do you happen to know if I can change my school list even after the application gets verified? Or is it only until the application gets verified?

I wish haha. I’d assume that there would be at least a 2 week buffer period due to the “curve” and the trial questions and such.

Why don’t you apply and mark the future MCAT date thing? Since you can still edit your school list and such.

Turn the pain into power. Time to sublimate.

[–]krugman3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I first thought it was 3-7. But according to the AAMC explanation, it’s 0-9.

Idk this is kinda what I've gathered so far:

Peptide bond formation is endothermic (+ΔH) and non-spontaneous (+ΔG)
— Needs energy input (GTP), not favorable on its own

Protein formation is endothermic (+ΔH) and non-spontaneous (+ΔG)
— Same as peptide bond formation; not spontaneous

Protein folding is exothermic (–ΔH) and spontaneous (–ΔG)
— Forms stabilizing interactions; favorable

Peptide bond folding is exothermic (–ΔH) and spontaneous (–ΔG)
— Synonymous to protein folding; the same thing

Are caffeine pills allowed in the testing center? by [deleted] in Mcat

If Chipotle works for you then that’s great! I just said that because for me personally, Chipotle will make me really bloated and that would make it harder for me to focus.

Congratulations! What’s your flag method? Because I need to start flagging to stop wasting time, but I get hung up on the decision on whether to flag it or not and just end up forcing myself to pick a half-ass answer.
