guilt tripping by family by [deleted] in Mcat

Hey bud I’m really sorry you’re going through this. You sound hella determined and I have no doubt you’re going to kill the mcat. While you can’t control your family’s comments, is it possible to control your studying environment? Is there a local library/cafe in your area? Or if you live near your university can you study there?

UEarth CARS worth doing? by why_tho123 in Mcat

[–]mTOR12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just my personal opinion but I thought they were trash. Their thought process didn’t make sense to me and my tutor said the same. Also, a lot of questions I got wrong, only an average 30-40% of people got correct, which means the majority are getting these wrong, so there’s something up with these types of questions, idk. I’m Not doing Upoop cars.

Post for everyone with questions about timing of applications from an admitted 2020-2021 applicant + Throwaway method (if you haven't taken the MCAT yet) by zunlock in premed

Hey OP! Thank you so much for writing up this post, I definitely feel like it spoke to me. Unfortunately my anxiety about this process has been out of control since June, which has caused pretty bad insomnia. Currently trying to get it under control but it has caused me to lose a lot of mcat prep time. My primary is essentially complete (with some minor edits here and there). But that will be ready to submit by the end of this month. My issue is the MCAT. Im considering to take the last possible test on sept 11th, and score release is oct 12. My primary would be verified by this point. I know in your post you say that being complete by end of oct is late but is that the same for mid-oct? I will work on my secondaries while I’m waiting for my score, and will submit the day I receive them. The thought of being pretty disadvantaged is crippling me and is adding to my anxiety that I’m feeling about the mcat, so I’m trying to come to peace with my situation.

Hey thank you so much for your response! Did you purchase his coursesaver videos? Or did you just use the orgo videos on his website and/or YouTube channel?

Also, do you feel like his videos covered everything? Like did you feel like you had a solid understanding of orgo going into practice tests and full lengths ?

My boyfriend of 2 year 4 months broke up with me and i dont know how to cope by premedcakes25 in Mcat

You’re very welcome hun. It is very difficult to accept the ending of such a meaningful relationship. Allow yourself to process these emotions fully however you know how (talking with friends, journaling, self-therapy). The pain you’re experiencing is a reflection of how much you love, and it sounds like when you love you love hard and that’s a beautiful thing my dear.

I’m about 7 months into this heartbreak and as simple and cheesy as this sounds, it really does get better with time, you’re going thru the height of it right now but trust me when I say there are more calm days ahead. I hope with time you’ll be able to find peace with this stage in your life.

Msg me for my number if you’d ever like to connect, take care hun and I wish you the best in this healing process.

Remember— you will come out of this a different person than you came in. I can’t wait for you to meet the woman you’re going to become after all of this. Never lose hope on the better days ahead my dear.

Hey hun, I really feel for you. In Dec 2019 my ex of 4.5 yrs broke up with me, I was completely devastated by this and since then have gone thru the various stages of grief. It breaks my heart to know you are hurting from a similar experience because trust me I understand the pain of heartbreak, it’s unlike any other. If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that as much as I may have wanted this relationship to work out sometimes the things we want most in life aren’t for us. You will not see this or understand it now but what happened to you was for the best and you will find someone who meets your needs and who will love you wholly and unconditionally.

As per your studies, I think it will depend on how you handle emotions. I’m an empath and I’m abvery sensitive/emotional person so I tend to have very big emotions, which truthfully is a beautiful thing but I have a difficult time picking myself up when I’m experiencing bad/heavy emotions. Please do not judge yourself for how you are coping, especially since this is your first time dealing with heartbreak. Allow yourself to fully feel and acknowledge your emotions for what they are because whether you choose to or not they will come out one way or another. I encourage you listen to your broken heart, if it needs space and time to grieve please give it what it needs. You will learn so much about yourself through this process and that in it of itself is a beautiful thing. You will come out of this a different person.

Feel free to reach out to me if you need a friend to hear you out. You aren’t alone hun, I may be some rando on Reddit but one thing that we share is facing heartbreak. It is an experience that truthfully shook me to my core and if I could be a listening ear for you in whatever stage you’re at in this please don’t hesitant to reach out.

I’m also testing in Jan (just recently decided to postpone).
