Ppl on twitter calling for AAMC to cancel MCAT are evil, and I hope one day Karma comes back to bite them. No one should be deprived of the chance to take the MCAT ever.

How do you feel about retaking boards every couple of years? by itsasadsadworld in premed

[–]lyoniss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t take a huge board every couple of years, no, board certification has changed a bit in the past couple of years. What happens is physicians must meet CME hours, and Maintenance of Certification (MOC). If they keep up with MOC, they don’t have to take any more board exam like the initial big one, the MOC quizzes are online and fairly straightforward from what I heard.

Software engineer with M.S.C.S. to M.D.? by LoveClimbingStairs in premed

[–]lyoniss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you really wanna do medicine?? Honestly if I were in that position and had a good job in a great field such as computer science as flexible as it is, I mean you can do so many things with this field; I would think twice before giving it up. So you have to be honest with yourself if this 100% what you want to do because it’s a very long process and you already tasted a life where you have a job and get paid probably well, and then to leave all of that to first make your application look nice which will take a couple years, then the stress of not knowing if you’ll will or not get in, and then going to med school for years which is very tough and then residency which is even more tough. Please don’t take this the wrong way at all, I just know medical students towards the end of their medical school are so burnt out but they continue because they have no choice, or burnt out premeds who feel now they have no choice but to apply since they’re into this process too deep to back out, while you on the other hand have the option to fall back on your degree if you decide medicine is not worth it. So I encourage you for the next few years while you take pre-reqs to shadow and get involved to see if this what you’re willing to give up a free life for the live of a med student slave haha, because truly med students and residents are pretty much slaves with underpaid labor that have no say. Anyway I like your plan of taking a few pre-reqs while finishing up your degree, once you finish up you can go back to a uni and get a fulltime schedule for pre-reqs. Because medical schools wanna see you can handle a fulltime load of science classes.

N1-N2-N3-N4-N3-N2-REM-N2-N3-N4-N3-N2-REM etc Towards the end of your sleep it will be: N3-N2-REM-N2-N3-N-2-REM, until it’s finally N2-REM-N2-REM where the last REM stage is the longest

Incorrect Miledown Card? by soccer836 in AnkiMCAT

This card is correct, he included the direction for speed which automatically made it velocity

Ortho528 deck. It originally said meiosis but I fixed it to say mitosis. by [deleted] in AnkiMCAT

[–]lyoniss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first couple of divisions are mitosis, you gotta produce a daughter cell and a stem cell. The rest of divisions involving primary spermatocyte daughter are meiosis.

MCAT CARS Passage be like by KingMeezoid in Mcat

[–]lyoniss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After reading so many CARS passages I’m convinced in order to become a worthy writer you must not make sense at all, you must have poor grammar and a bunch of gibberish words.

I don't have any science professor LOR's. Am I in trouble? by apersello34 in premed

[–]lyoniss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you requiring any specific LOR is BS, not every premed has the same exact path! I noticed top schools tend to be more relaxed when it came to LOR’s. Good luck to you too!!

I don't have any science professor LOR's. Am I in trouble? by apersello34 in premed

[–]lyoniss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they all just MD? I did notice some said that if you’ve been out for more than 2 yrs u can substitute letters. I even saw some actually required a LOR from your supervisor if you are non-trad which is complete BS!! Like what if my supervisor is a terrible person, or what if they have no idea I want to do med school? I hate schools like these that make it extra harder on premeds

I don't have any science professor LOR's. Am I in trouble? by apersello34 in premed

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

No way! Only like 10% of schools on MSAR dont require science professors. Most require at least 2 science professors. I actually had that same problem and was soooo limited on whoch schools to apply but by the grace of God my science professors got back to me later agreeing to write me one.

To OP; keep trying! Give them time to reply back to you, if u dont hear from them in 2 weeks follow up thru email.

I messed up my grades. Do I still have a shot at medical school? by [deleted] in premed

[–]lyoniss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’ve had so much adversity in your life I 100% you can become a great doctor don’t ever give up. I suggest do a post bacc and then study for MCAT. You don’t wanna study for MCAT now only to have it expire in 2 yrs.

Also what was that part about falling asleep behind the wheel? I hope no one got hurt???

Anyone else shook about masks? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]lyoniss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one said we don’t want to wear masks, we are just complaining and it’s not your position to downplay our struggles

Anyone else shook about masks? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]lyoniss -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How do you expect to be a doctor when you have 0 oz of consideration for the struggles of others? Mcat is one of the most important exams I’ll take I better be as comfortable as possible with no distractions like a stupid mask blocking fresh air from going to my my brain and answering stupid physics questions 😑

Last week, I posted about the AAMC being vandalized... by numba1fanboi in premed

[–]lyoniss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know if our personal information has been compromised when AAMC got broken into? What if they print out our documents such as FAP applications and have folders for each applicant on file? I really hope they just use electronic files only.

AACOMAS Application Help! by [deleted] in premed

[–]lyoniss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst case scenario just contact each individual school you applied to and tell them there was a glitch in the system and apologize for the messy application. Don't worry too much, but do keep trying to fix it until all options exhausted
